<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In my Crisp Communications workshop for the Kent SLIS program, I go over Microsoft Publisher and have the students do a post-workshop assignment in it. I find the templates very easy to use for non-technical people and they can master it quickly. It offers all the media formats you mention, and a lot of others!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>The Workshop is at Kent, June 8-9. Contact me off list if you'd like more details.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best,</DIV>

<DIV class=plainMail _yuid="yui_3_1_1_2_1337716512237107">We are in need of opinions: what kind of software do you use to produce<BR>bookmarks, brochures, flyers, etc. for your library? We are a small rural<BR>library; the children's librarian and I do all our in-house publishing and<BR>we need a new program. Keep in mind we are "fairly" tech savvy but do not<BR>need anything with tons of bells and whistles. What works for you in your<BR>small library (those libraries with their own PR department probably will<BR>not need to weigh in on this question-lol)?<BR>We have been using an old version of Printshop but are getting new computers<BR>and we will need to upgrade. Thoughts or opinions?<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></td></tr></table>
