Campbell King Law Library, and for the past six years served as the Web
Coordinator and Digital Media Specialist for the Law Library’s Information
Technology department. Evans has contributed to library instruction ranging

Description:
UGA
Law Library’s longstanding newsletter Amicus Briefs first saw circulation in
1984. At that time it was solely in print and included no more than a couple of
items about new additions to the library collection and upcoming library
instruction. More than 30 years later, the newsletter has evolved
significantly. After a time of existing only in print (1984-1994), and a period
of time being distributed both in print and online (1995-2001), it went through
another phase of being distributed only electronically (2003-2014). In the past
few years the print version has come back again (Spring 2015), experiencing a
resurgence in popularity, especially with students. During its lifetime, the
newsletter has not only changed formats and styles, but has also changed
editors several times. Each new editor seems to at least partially influence
the types of content included plus the technologies used for publication. Today
the newsletter is issued both electronically and physically four times a
semester and has even ventured into the realm of podcasting with five episodes
since 2017.
This
session will share the many lessons learned over the years by looking back in
time at the newsletter’s rich history of content. It will also share current
tools used for online and print publication, as well as assessing readership
including Drupal, WordPress, MailChimp, Google Analytics and DataStudio,
Piktochart, iTunes, YouTube, Feedburner, and Digital Commons
