Abstract

In Fall 2011, librarians at Bowling Green State University in Ohio competed in a “Biggest Loser”-style competition to promote twelve underused databases. The database with the biggest percent gain in use (over Fall 2010) was the winner. This presentation will outline the project and examine its signature successes and failures.
