October is National Archives Month, and on Friday, October 1 the Wittliff Collections and University Archives at the Alkek Library will co-host a panel called “Know Your Audience: Tips for Successful Writing,” on the seventh floor of the Alkek Library. A catered, hors d’oeuvres reception will follow.
This year’s event is not just for archivists or librarians. Anyone interested in hearing expert advice on successful, professional writing will want to attend. Each panelist will give a short presentation about a specific type of writing, followed by a moderated discussion. There will also be time for questions and/or comments from audience members.
Dr. David B. Gracy II, editor of Libraries and the Cultural Record, will speak about scholarly writing; Kris Toma, co-editor of Southwestern Archivist, will cover newsletters; Pat Hawthorne, Director of Research and Learning, Alkek Library, will discuss press releases; and Anne Peters, Communications Coordinator, UT-San Antonio Libraries, will present on social media.
The panel starts at 1:30 p.m. at the Wittliff Collections on the library’s seventh floor, with the reception starting at 3:30. Both activities are free and open to the public. Panel attendance is not required to attend the reception. Guests are asked to RSVP to [email protected] or (512) 245-2313.
While in the Wittliff Collections be sure to take time to enjoy the fall exhibits: Cormac McCarthy: Selections from the Permanent Collection; Painted Light: Photoworks by Kate Breakey; and Revisiting Goodbye To a River: A 50-Year Anniversary. Also, on permanent display: The Lonesome Dove Collection and selections from the Wittliff’s music collections.
