The Montana History Portal uses several ways to encourage use of our content to different audiences. We have used conference presentations and workshops to target teachers, social media to reach history lovers, exhibits for our website users and students, and now we are implementing geocaching exploration through Adventure Labs to engage tourists. Learn how changing your bait can hook a larger audience for your library services.
