- Getting Those Feet In
(hide description)Writing in 1909, Sam Foss in "Some Cardinal Principles of
a Librarian's World" said, "A dollar bill that never circulates is not
worth as much as a cent that keeps moving. Nearly every librarian ought to double
the circulation of his books..." A lofty goal, but how do you get your faculty
and students to use and value the resources and services that you offer? First,
we will look at some of the basic principles of successful marketing and specific
strategies that have worked in school libraries. Second, we will break into small
groups and you will be given the opportunity to discuss concerns, formulate plans
for change, and share things that have worked for you. Books that sit on the shelf
and databases that are never used are not worth much. What have done to get those
feet in the door? We will learn from each other.
