Library Marketing Basics
Autor Mark Aaron Polgeren Limba Engleză Paperback – 26 mar 2019
În peisajul actual al serviciilor informaționale, Library Marketing Basics propune o abordare interdisciplinară riguroasă, împrumutând instrumente din sfera comunicării corporative, a psihologiei organizaționale și a designului de servicii pentru a revitaliza imaginea bibliotecii moderne. Găsim în această lucrare o demitizare a marketingului ca activitate costisitoare, autorul Mark Aaron Polger punând accent pe schimbări incrementale și strategii cu costuri minime care pot fi implementate de orice profesionist, indiferent de resursele editurii Bloomsbury Publishing.
Structura volumului reflectă o progresie pedagogică clară: primele capitole definesc terminologia esențială și ciclul de marketing, trecând rapid spre segmentarea publicului țintă și utilizarea hărților perceptuale pentru diferențiere. Reținem în mod deosebit capitolul dedicat cercetării de piață, care ghidează cititorul prin pași concreți, de la analiza SWOT la evaluarea nevoilor comunității, oferind o bază analitică solidă pentru orice campanie de conștientizare. Cititorii familiarizați cu Crash Course in Marketing for Libraries de Susan W. Alman vor aprecia aici profunzimea detaliilor tehnice și accentul pus pe brandingul identității profesionale a bibliotecarului, nu doar a instituției.
Această lucrare se plasează natural în continuarea preocupărilor autorului pentru experiența utilizatorului, completând viziunea din Library Signage and Wayfinding Design. Dacă în lucrările anterioare Polger se concentra pe interacțiunea fizică cu spațiul bibliotecii, aici extinde perspectiva spre construcția unei relații strategice cu stakeholderii. Cele 17 tabele și numeroasele fotografii incluse transformă textul dintr-o monografie teoretică într-un instrument de lucru indispensabil pentru mediul academic și profesional.

Descriere
Here is an accessible, step-by-step, easy to understand, and hands-on resource for any librarian who is interested in learning basic marketing tips to raise the profile of their library. While other books on library marketing are dense and assume that the library has a full-time marketing staff person, a publicist, a graphic designer, and a big fat budget., this book offers tips and tricks (often free) that any librarian can do to market the library. It will focus on the small changes to the services a library provides to raise its profile.
Library Marketing Basics is designed for beginners who are new to library marketing. Any librarian can market their library, but they must understand what true marketing is all about, and how to do it right.
In this guide, you'll:
Learn what true library marketing is, and what it's not Plan a large scale marketing campaign / awareness campaign on a shoestring budget Learn how to market yourselves as librarians! Develop your own professional identity and brand Learn tips and tricks on obtaining buy-in from your colleagues and the entire organization, even if they are resistant! Learn how to develop relationships with stakeholders in order to raise the profile of your library
You'll also find practical examples from the non-library /corporate sector on how to use currently existing marketing tools and apply them to your library. The book focuses on developing a "library" brand, in addition to creating an effective marketing plan, social media guidelines, identifying assessment tools, and providing best practices when developing signage, writing website vocabulary, and designing promotional materials.
Library Marketing Basics will show that you don't need a big budget to market the library. You just need a small team of like-minded colleagues to brainstorm creative ways to raise awareness with your audience. Marketing is all about the valuable intangible and tangible aspects (of your library) and how you connect them with your users.

Recenzii
Polger (College of Staten Island, CUNY) provides a comprehensive overview of library marketing. He walks librarians through the process of identifying a target audience, conducting market research, creating a marketing plan, and undertaking a whole suite of activities to carry out that plan. Examples pulled from successful library marketing practices illustrate how Polger's advice looks when applied to real-life situations. Polger follows his own advice regarding information organization: he divides chapters into short sections with clear headings, a format that makes navigating the information on a specific task or campaign easy. The effort to include all library types. . . draws attention to the transferability of approaches across academic, public, and special-library marketing. This practical book is also a reminder that anything from a retweet to library furniture plays a role in marketing the library. This volume will be valuable for professionals taking on the task of marketing for the first time and for students in library and information science marketing courses. Summing Up: Recommended. Graduate students, faculty, and professionals.
Librarians often shy away from marketing because it sounds like corporate salesmanship, and the idea of a library as something to be commodified and sold makes many uncomfortable. If they do manage to overcome their anxiety and brave the marketing world, their lack of training means their efforts are often misguided and ineffective, even uninformed, sporadic, and not centered on the user. This thoughtfully written guide is designed "to reduce your fear and resistance to library marketing." In contrast to the idea of selling a product or service, Polger posits that marketing a library is all about building relationships and making sure that specific audience needs are met. In clear language and with step-by-step instructions, he guides the reader through audience segmentation, market research, marketing plans, branding, web and social media marketing, and library advocacy. Numerous examples, drawn from university, public, and special libraries, illustrate the key elements of successful marketing plans, like survey questions, timelines, target audience matrices, and promotional materials. Readers are introduced to concepts like brand statements, taglines, positioning, budget, and return on investment. A well-conceived, highly practical, and highly recommended reference guidebook.
This book, Library Marketing Basics, is one of the tools you can study to help you achieve marketing greatness . . . Studying [this book] will enable readers to understand the what, why, and how of the craft.
Library Marketing Basics is extremely accessible and methodical introduction to library marketing, and one that is written with a great deal of enthusiasm. 315 pages of pure gold that should be required foundation reading for everyone in the profession.
This is an excellent overview of the marketing of a library with promotional concepts, terms, and strategies for librarians working in any field. . . . [readers] will find the author's experience, enthusiasm, and clear writing incredibly valuable to their understanding of marketing in libraries.
The information presented in Library Marketing Basics gives a good introduction to marketing in general, but the greatest value to librarians lies in its specific applications to and examples from a variety of different libraries. The explanations are thorough and present sometimes complex marketing concepts in an easy-to-read and understandable manner. The examples are very valuable in that readers can see how other libraries have applied the concepts detailed in the book to develop real-world analyses and implemented marketing plans and campaigns. I plan to keep this book on my reference shelf to consult before developing marketing strategies in the future.
The best thing about this book is how well thought-out it is. The chapters begin with defining marketing and selecting targeted audiences and progress through step-by-step basics of marketing tools from signs to social media presences. In the forward to the book, Kathy Dempsey, founding chair of Library Marketing Conference and author of The Accidental Library Marketer, notes that this book is unique among library marketing books in the attention that is given to process and why things can work rather than relying on anecdotal examples alone.
Library Marketing Basics is a good approach to step-by-step, true marketing, offering example marketing plans and insight into newer media tools. Polger's enthusiasm for marketing is catching!
