Library Display Case - Public or Academic Libraries
Using leftover yarn, beads, and crafting supplies along with the free flyers from the EBSCO website, teachers and librarians can create eye-catching displays to help promote this database to students. Student examples of projects created from information found in the database could be displayed here. This would give students a chance to see what types of projects they could themselves make with this creative database, and also gives students a chance to shine!
Incorporate the database into a 'DIY' themed display, complete with multiple resources, including books, multimedia resources, and more on this topic and related topics
Materials:
You could even create (or invite students to create) a custom flag banner for the display case or display area using construction paper and simple letters that spells out the name of the database. (Such as the image below.)
