A while ago I posted a message to the list concerning sponsorship in public libraries. (original post reproduced at the end of this message) Helen Baigent, EARL Liaison Officer, gave examples of sponsors for EARL (for example, the sponsor's corporate logo on delegate packs), Lynn Osborne, Head of Library and Information Services, Lifelong Learning, reminded us about VAT and Sue Killoran of County Library Arts & Museums Service, Gloucester Libraries, supplied us with a very useful contact, their Marketing and Quality Assurance Officer. Many thanks to all of the above Debby Wale London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham original post to the list: Do any lis-pub-libbers out there have any experience with sponsorship? We are particularly interested in any problems regarding legal issues, particularly concerning benefits given by the library authority to the sponsor, i.e. slogans/logos on library publicity/equipment or words to the effect that "This year's summer programme has been supported by >the sponsor< " Any information regarding the agreements (if any) made between the receiving authority and the sponsor would be most welcome. Thanks in advance Debby Wale London Borough of Hammersmith & Fulham %%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
