The Zombie Stack Exchanges That Just Won't Die
Has libraries.stackexchange been actively promoted at the recent ALA conference or have we lost a good opportunity to spread the word The next ALA meeting is in January but sure there are other meetings as well. We don't have flyer or something like that, do we? There are some blog articles but no announcements in journals and newsletters, are there?

I suspect nothing has really been done yet because we are a relatively new and shiny site.
If you want to get the word out (which is totally awesome!) feel free to do so! Write to the people who put announcements and stuff in journals and newsletters! Make Libraries.SE sound as awesome and useful as we all know it can be, and get the word out.
It is probably going to be a while before word gets out on its own, since we haven't been around that long. But if we all work to get the word out in our own ways (within our own communities, or wider, whatever you can do is awesome), then eventually, it will (hopefully) begin to snowball on its own.
We don't have a flyer or anything pre-made, but as long as you follow the guidelines here in regards to trademarks and the like, there is no reason why you can't make your own. If you do, please share it on meta - that way others can share in helping make the flyers (and anything else you come up with) represent Libraries in the most awesome way possible.
ASIS&T is coming up next month ... and they generally have a message board that people can post stuff to ... but I'm not so great at writing copy. If someone else wants to make a sign or something, I can post it.
