What’s the best way to get your students and staff to buy a book? Let them know that they are in it! Click on the link below to download a simple and easy “You’re in it!” slip in Microsoft Word format. Be sure to customize the information on the slips — there are 3 slips per 8.5 by 11 sheet. Make sure to include details on how to order. Information on the Herff Jones Order Center is on the bottom, so be sure to put in your job number/school code on the slips. If you are not using the Order Center, just delete that portion.
What’s one of the easiest ways to get the information for your slips? Run HJ Index Builder! Whether you are using InDesign or eDesign, HJ Index Builder generates a list of student and faculty names AND tells what page those names occur on. As you create your pages, be sure to include captions on your spreads that name the people in the photos. Make sure you attribute quotes correctly. See how everything ties together? That’s what a yearbook connection is all about!
For help on using Index Builder, contact Steven, Thomas or Cara. For eDesign, you can also check out help videos on the eDesign website or at www.yearbooks.biz/resources. You’ll click on the “eLearning” link and then have to log on.
