I have not really thought about advocacy and have never written anything for publication. I have had a think about what I do and what I have done in the past that could count as advocacy.
I always try to remind family and friends to use their local libraries. Some people I know complain about a lack of books on particular subjects, I encourage them to give feedback so the service providers have an idea of how the services and stock can be improved.
The main area in my current job where I could be invovled in advocay is at the start of the new academic year encouraging new students to use the library services, and making them aware that there are library services!
