Creating Awareness of EDS on campus

Bonnie suggested promoting the pilot to our campuses and then doing a post awareness campaign survey:

I suggest creating awareness of EDS on the part of librarians, administrators, faculty and students in universities that have the EDS pilot.  This could be accomplished at the university level by contacting faculty senates, student government associations, department heads, etc.  Faculty forums, student forums, library instruction, posters, advertisements in the student newspaper are other venues for creating awareness.  –Bonnie 

We don't have enough time to do a survey our report to the executive committee, but we can do an awareness campaign on campus. Even though there are some problems with the UNO EDS, I'm putting it on the Library's homepage below the catalog search.

What are others doing?
