Promoting Collections using Digital Engagement at MU Library (Poster)

Poster Presentation at the CONUL Conference 2023, 24-25th May 2023, Cork. This poster will outline the innovative ways we use digital engagement tools to promote the collections of Maynooth University Library and St Patricks Pontifical University. Utilising virtual and stop motion software, we have created the first virtual experiences including tours, exhibitions, a collections-based advent calendar and a Claymation cat for engagement on social media. There is potential to review data of these platforms to inform future planning and guidelines for making the Library more accessible. This poster will outline the forms of digital engagement that were undertaken in the last 12 months and evaluate their impact on enhanced collection sustainability
