Advocacy is stronger when it comes with references!<\/p>\n
Being able to back up what you\u2019re saying with stories, statistics or studies makes you more convincing.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve already talked about individual elements \u2013 an example (Exercise #9<\/a>), a fact (Exercise #46<\/a>) a number (Exercise #4<\/a>), or a quote (Exercise #17<\/a>).<\/p>\n But given that you may need to use different references in different situations, it\u2019s best to have a few.<\/p>\n So for our 47th<\/sup> 10-Minute Library Advocate, bookmark useful websites and resources.<\/p>\n When you see something you can use, either save it in your browser, or keep your own list. There are several free online tools to do this: Start.me<\/a>,\u00a0Raindrop.io<\/a>, Google Bookmarks<\/a>, are just some of them. Use the comments section if you have other suggestions to share!<\/p>\n If you have a collection, you can start to organise it, for example by each of the Sustainable Development Goals. IFLA\u2019s Library Map of the World SDG Stories<\/a> are a good place to start, and here is an example<\/a> of how you can collect and organise your bookmarks!<\/p>\n You can then use them when you are preparing letters, blogs or presentations.<\/p>\n Good luck!<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
