If your organization offers two or more specific services or program series, please consider listing those ongoing programs separately in addition to a general listing for the main organization.

• Different people within an organization can manage listings, and a single person can manage listings for more than one service or program series. However, because of technical limitations, only one person/login can manage each listing at any given time.
• Do you need to reassign editorial responsibilities for one of your listings? Send us an email and we’ll make it happen: outreach@brookslibraryvt.org.
• Use tags to connect listings within organizations! It will help people find things they might not have expected.

Examples

A specific service or resource:

• The Senior Center is a community resource offered by Brattleboro’s Department of Recreation and Parks. Both Recreation and Parks and the Senior Center can have their own listings and tag each other.

An ongoing program series:

• The Brattleboro in Stitches fiber arts group is sponsored by the Brooks Memorial Library and meets regularly in the library building. The stitchers and the library can each have their own listing and tag each other.

Categories and tags work together to paint rich pictures of the organizations and groups in the ABC Database. They make it easier for people to find you.

• Categories are formal, pre-selected words and phrases to describe groups, organizations, and projects based on their interests. They make it possible for people to browse by general subjects. If you cannot find categories that apply to your group, please let us know! We want to address that.
• Tags are descriptive words that organizations, groups, and projects can add to their own entries to enrich the search process. As groups add tags, they will appear on a pop-up list in the relevant field, but you aren’t limited to pre-made tags. Go ahead and add your own words that will help searchers understand what your group is all about.

Here are the full ABC FAQs.

• Adding or editing listings is much easier on a computer than a mobile device.
• Only a few fields are required, so you can submit a basic record and fill out details if and when you want to.
• Please add tags and descriptions to your listing! Using your own language will help searchers find your group and its interests and values, and you’ll help the database reflect the diversity of our community.
• Logos and other identifying images are great. If you provide services in a specific location, consider adding a picture of your building or front window or sign. Please be sure you have rights to any image you submit.
