ALI seeks graphic design

The Indiana State Library (ISL) and the Academic Libraries of Indiana (ALI) Resource Sharing Committees are looking for that perfect symbol or logo to represent Resource Sharing in Indiana.

We realize that not everyone can draw, so entries do not need to be final designs, we are just looking for a sketch, a description or an idea that perfectly encapsulates resource sharing in Indiana. This means that this competition is open to idea people as well as to graphic artists.

If you have an idea, please send it in, or if you know someone who is good at this type of work, please share this message with them and encourage them to enter.

The deadline for entries has been extended to 1 July 2015.  Details are available here.
