_BANaRAMA(sm): A Registry of Library Promotional
Banner Pages_
I am pleased to announce the establishment of
_BANaRAMa(sm): A Registry
of Library Promotional Banner Pages_. BANaRAMa(sm) has been
established
to serve as a resource for libraries who seek examples of
banner 'ads' or
scrawling or scrolling text ro promote library services,
resources, or
collection.
>_BANaRAMa(sm)_ is located at
>
>http://www.public.iastate.edu/~CYBERSTACKS/Banarama.htm
>
>While only a handful of sites have been reported to date, my hope is that
>the site will encourage others to report their efforts and stimulate still
>others to consider banner 'ads' for their library's web site.
>
> I am most grateful to those who notified me of their efforts to enable
> me to create BANaRAMa(sm)!
>
>[BTW: Is anyone aware of multimedia banner 'ads' that include streaming
>audio and/or video? I would expect that such 'ads' should exist!
>[Think about the possibilities of streaming audio/video *library* banner
>'ads'!]
