If this is the Hospital's Credit Union doesn't it already have the institution's endorsement ? Are they allowed to put up posters in break rooms and cafeterias ? Are there any details that you are specially concerned about ? Has anyone at the C.U. ever given you reason to believe that they would try to unduly influence your collection development or operating policies ? You could, for added peace of mind, go to your administrator/supervisor for an opinion. Yet, overall, I wouldn't see any conflict of interest to promoting/advertising something that your institution already endorses. You could be like NPR and call it an "Underwriting Credit". How about ??? ------------- The XYZ Hospital Library would like thank "XYZ Hospital Credit Union" For their generous support of your medical information resources. -------------- -- Todd Puccio Director of Technical Services / Librarian Nova Southeastern University Health Professions Division Library 3200 S.

In exchange the library would receive a one time monetary gift. In this time of poor budgets of course all money helps but I feel this would be against what our library stands for. I don't want to have commercials on our site. I would like to hear from other librarians as to what they think about this issue.
