Session 15 - Written Assignment

This written assignment should be done following the class meeting.  You will receive information in that class that will help with the assignment. 

All written assignments must be typed using a word processor.  If you have access to Microsoft Word, please use that and send it to your instructor via e-mail as an attachment.  If you need to use another type of word processor (such as Microsoft Works or Word Perfect), please cut and paste your assignment into an e-mail and send it that way.

Written Assignment for Session 15:

Write an "elevator speech" for your library.  An elevator speech is a brief description of a product or service that can be given during the length of time of an elevator ride. 

So, for example, if you are standing in line at the grocery store and someone says to you, "You work at the library?  I haven't been there since I was in school."  Your elevator speech would be a perfect response.

Your written response should:

• focus on how the library is different from the common perception (ie, most people know libraries have books and answer questions)
• be more specific than "we have computers"
• include what the library staff can do for them
• be brief and succinct; no more than 200 words
