Frank Sinatra, “Witchcraft” Let’s pretend we’re bunny rabbits Let’s do it all night long Let abbots, Babbitts & Cabots Say Mother Nature’s wrong.... Magnetic Fields, “Let’s Pretend We’re Bunny Rabbits”

  8. Is this for you? • It’s not for everyone • If you have trouble speaking to groups, feeling silly or improvising, you won’t like having a radio show. • Only do it if you feel comfortable.

  9. On the plus side … • Some positive feedback from faculty, community members, students. • Increases library’s stock. • Injects us into another area of campus life. • Seemed to be popular in the professional community.

  10. On the minus side … • Lack of quantifiable results • Takes staff out of library • Lack of communication with station management

  11. Thank you! • Any questions? Emily Alling ealling@spfldcol.edu James Miller jmiller@spfldcol.edu
