Marketing - a nice thing to do? by Emma WaltonCILIP PPRG
Marketing involves communicating and engaging with an organization's audience to meet customer needs and build connections. It is an essential part of service for academic libraries. Marketing activities include promotion, branding, public relations, publicity, and advocacy. For academic libraries, marketing is important due to the competitive higher education landscape, students as customers, and the need to demonstrate value. Loughborough University Library takes a systematic approach to marketing through surveys, focus groups, and service improvements.

Social Media in Public Libraries: The good, the bad an the ugly!CILIP PPRG
Social media can help public libraries grow their audience if used strategically. Libraries should ask patrons to like their social media pages and share content with related local groups to expand their reach. While social media can promote library programs and events, libraries must be careful not to overshare or post inappropriate content that could damage their reputation. Maintaining a positive online presence requires trial and error as well as ensuring any social media use follows basic etiquette guidelines.

16. Public Feedback
“We came to the library doing the dolphin trail
and ended up joining. Since then using the
library has become a weekly thing and my 8
year old has become far more interested in
reading and has completed the Summer
Reading Challenge. It has been really positive
for us.”
“The dolphins were great and
got my kids into the library for
the first time to join so I’ll get
them reading.”
17. Partners
“Aberdeen’s younger generation played a hugely important
part in making Wild Dolphins such a success. Over 30
schools in and around the City participated in the event,
and their mini sculptures well-deserved their place on the
trail. We loved seeing the pupils’ enthusiasm for what they
had learnt and how they were inspired to create their
wonderful pieces of art.”

18. Staff Feedback “We joined several new borrowers.
Everyone old and young
commented on how much they
enjoyed the project and how good
they felt it was for promoting the
city. It was good to see whole
families from grandparents to
grandchildren all doing the trail.”
“It would have been
easier if it had taken place
at a different time from the
Summer Reading Challenge
because of the
pressure on staff.”
“The main problem
was keeping up with
the prizes and
stationery to go
with it.”
“The dolphin trail was excellent
this year for encouraging
people, particularly children, to
visit the library. We now have
many members of the library
that joined after visiting to see
the dolphins.”
