A more permanent and more functional "publicity" for such special collections would be to make them available as online digital collections available for one's own community and for others either as a subscription or lendable resource.
If the collection is really worthwhile, we at www.PublishersRow.com could try to work with a library to make it available cost effective fashion (probably even free for the library) for all parties concerned.

It could be used as a great promotion tool when AJL members attend other Jewish events, have an info or exhibit table, copies could be sent to Judaica libraries everywhere. It would not be a small project though. Toby Harris, Librarian Temple De Hirsch Sinai 1511 E.

There are two articles about distinctive library collections. It occurs to me how little most Jewish library users know about the existence of special collections. Would it be feasible to develop a documentary DVD which highlighted these collections? Synagogues are always looking for programs and this presentation would not only be generally informative, but could be used to develop interest and awareness of Judaica Librarianship. Further, synagogues interested in fostering their own libraries could use this as an introduction to the particular attributes of their own collections. Is anything like this available? Any thoughts?
