an Infographic design
firm, 90% of Information
that comes to the brain
is visual.

There are so many great ways, as academic librarians, we can use infographics in our work:
-PRESENT LIBRARY SERVICES
-INSTRUCTIONAL/CLASSROOM MATERIAL
-NOTICES, SIGNS, AND OTHER LIBRARY ANNOUNCEMENTS
-TEACHING A CONCEPT OR SHOWING STATISTICS TO STAKEHOLDERS
- TEACH STUDENTS SO THEY CAN INTEGRATE IN THEIR PRESENTATIONS
BY THE WAY,
HOW BORING WAS THAT LAST SLIDE WITHOUT ANY GRAPHICS ?!
By using these creative visuals to catch the attention of users, information retention will increase, as will opportunities to get our messages across to more users..
You too, can create your own message for your library such as this one! ~created using http://visual.ly/
