How do I create custom branding in Publisher?

Create unique, eye-catching branding for your library using Publisher. Simply create, save as an image, and upload to LibraryAware! 

Check out these examples for inspiration:

    NOTE: If your library uses A3/A4 size paper (rather than North American standard sizes), view these suggested dimensions. If you have questions or concerns about branding, please contact our support team at libraryaware@ebsco.com.
