Advocacy Materials from OCLC
 
OCLC has as site that has “goals and tactics” for public library advocacy.  The link is: http://www.oclc.org/advocacy/public.htm.

It has information on the message we want to send, the target audience, media placements, and some tactics to follow.  I encourage everyone to take a look.
 
Thanks!
