Abstract
As Leeds Metropolitan is a university of festivals and partnerships, the library was given the opportunity this year to host a festival to promote the
library and all its services to the university. The library festival was a week of events and activities
to promote the library and its space in new ways.
It was a good way to remind staff and students of the value of libraries, not only as places to learn but also as places to enhance our leisure and
working lives ... we chose to promote the database `Land of Lost
Content'. This was because graphic design and art students are based at our campus and we also
thought this database would attract a wide range of students who might otherwise think that electronic
databases contain little of interest for them.
Our promotion has been so successful in many ways that we would like to share our experience with other librarians.
