"From determining their purpose to assessing their effectiveness, this work provides practical guidelines for the preparation of library marketing plans. The second part of the book includes four sample marketing plans and nine appendixes, which show sample pages of documents such as media contacts or speaker assessment forms. Although it is geared toward promoting electronic resources, most of the book is applicable to any service provided by a library." -- Reference and Research Book News "Marketing Your Library's Electronic Resources: A How-to-Do-It Manual is thorough yet succinct, well supported and, perhaps most importantly, executable - all excellent qualities for an instructional guide. This book is highly recommended for any librarians and staff involved in outreach services or the marketing of electronic resources at their library." -- Collection Building "...well-written and contains high quality information...this is certainly a book that will serve as a useful toolkit from start to finish - if there is such a thing as a finish in marketing!" -- Libfocus
