Computers in Libraries is designed to be the perfect advertising vehicle forcompanies that sell technologies and information to libraries.

Different than other library magazines

What sets us apart? CIL doesn’t cover association issues, trends, salaries, etc.—instead, it’s all technology, all the time. Association-based magazines may havehigher circulations, but that’s only because they’re sent to every member, whether themember wants it or not. But with CIL, our subscribers are your sales targets.They pay for CIL magazine because they need to keep up with the latest in librarytechnology. They want to know how peers are running their library systems.What’s more, each subscriber passes his or her copy along to three morecolleagues on average, which means that true CIL readership is four times theamount of our actual subscriber base!

When librarians are ready to buy technology, they turn to CIL. So your ads will beseen by the right people, no matter what issue you place them in.

Themes get extra attention, sponsored white papers offer you a voice

CIL creates special opportunities for vendors by focusing on predeterminedthemes in every issue. If you sell any product or service that’s related to a month-ly theme, your targeted ad is sure to get extra attention. Or why not consider asponsored white paper that complements the theme of the month? Case studies,best practices, and thought leadership pieces are always welcome.

TRUSTWORTHY

In every issue, CIL delivers interesting fea-tures written by librarians for librarians,insightful columns from peers our readershave come to know, and departmentspacked with useful information. Since CILdoes not accept vendor-written articles orproduct reviews in its main editorial pages,readers have come to trust it as a reliablesource of technology information.

This high standard of editorial integrityleads readers to really value everythingthey see in CIL’s pages—advertising andwhite papers included.
