This project began with 200 postcards and a call to action. Norris and her team weren't even sure that they would get any responses, but in just a few weeks, their six-word answers started flowing in. Today, hundreds of thousands of “postcards” from all over the world have been collected. Participants frequently send longer backstories and/or photos to elaborate on their postcard. Many of these essays contain thoughts and truths that are rarely expressed out loud. In 2013, this project, <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3308593&ymlink=227754253&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheracecardproject%2Ecom%2F">The Race Card Project</a>, was awarded the prestigious <a href="http://swonlibraries.org/link.asp?e=oplinlist@lists.oplin.org&job=3308593&ymlink=227754253&finalurl=https%3A%2F%2Ftheracecardproject%2Ecom%2Fa%2Dpeabody%2Daward%2Dfor%2Dthe%2Drace%2Dcard%2Dproject%2F">Peabody Award</a> for excellence in electronic communications for turning a pejorative phrase ("race card") into a productive dialogue.

Our presenters, Stephanie Everett and Beate Gersch from the University of Akron, describe how the project got started within the context of the university’s annual campus and community-wide diversity awareness programming. They will share simple steps for setting up a race card wall and monitoring comments, as well as discuss the challenges that are involved with a sensitive topic like this, particularly when dealing with a diverse student or patron body. Finally, they outline their efforts to incorporate this outreach event into the curriculum through collaboration with faculty. You will leave this webinar able to plan this outreach event on a very low budget, anticipate potential challenges based on the characteristics of your own institution, and identify community partners for collaboration outside their library.</font></span></p>

Considering that superhero characters started to appear in comics in 1938, though, it can be difficult to know where to start when developing your collections. <br />
<br />
In this interactive and informative webinar, a long-time superhero comic fan will teach you how to stop looking at superhero comics as a single genre but instead as multiple genres, allowing you to match materials with your customers.<br />
<br />
Topics covered and discussed will include:<br />
• The major comic book publishers and "universes"<br />
• How to select and recommend titles for all ages<br />
• Diversity in superhero comics, especially for YA audiences<br />
• Purchasing for single or multiple branches<br />
• Digital resources and vendors<br />
• Movies and other tie-in media for your collections<br />
• Marketing and promotion </font></span></p>
