The document discusses the SWOT analysis of marketing and promotional strategies at the University of Malaya Library. It provides an overview of the university and library, including details on divisions and collections. The SWOT analysis then examines the library's strengths (including new technology and location), weaknesses (outdated structures and limited parking), opportunities (publishing materials, events, and outreach), and threats (changing perceptions and expenses). Strategies are proposed to capitalize on strengths and opportunities, while addressing weaknesses and threats. The impact of promotion is then summarized as increased usage, visitors, and recognition for the library.

The identity of the library is closely bound with its collections. In a print world, this made sense, as the central role of the library was to place materials close to the user and arrange them for effective use.
However, in a network environment this is no longer the case. Lorcan Dempsey, Vice President, Membership and Research, and Chief Strategist at the Online Computer Library Center, will discuss the following three trends that are changing the character of library collections:
The facilitated collection, where the library connects users to resources of interest to their research and learning needs, whether or not they are assembled locally.
The collective collection, where libraries begin to think about moving to shared environments to manage their collections and assuming collective responsibility for stewardship of the scholarly record.
The inside-out collection, where libraries work with other campus partners to support the creation, management and disclosure of institutional materials—research data, special collections, and so on. Here the library supports the creative enterprise of scholarship directly. Together, these trends are changing how we think about collections, libraries, and services to their users.

Innovative library services a case study of rayat shikshan sanstha’s ycis sat...अमोल खोब्रागडे
Library is considered as an important part of the college which is the major learning resource for the students and staff. As per the changing time, role of library is also being changed. Advanced technology has been utilized by the library to provide library services. The main aim of library is to avail the various reading material and learning resources to the students and work for the amusement and imbibe values in the readers by reading various autobiographies of great leaders. Students get inspirations and life-force for their future life by reading.
Library and information science (LIS) is a multi-disciplinary and dynamic field which adapts rapidly to technological and social developments, and keeps pace with emerging ideas and technologies. The willingness of library and information professionals to proactively accept changes and venture into new knowledge territories is helping the LIS discipline to stay relevant and useful in the fast changing society. Other factors that are driving innovation and creativity in LIS, are the popularity of the Web as an alternative source for information acquisition as well as competition from non-library agencies now involved in information provision.
Information and communication Technology (ICT) has been considered as the most instrumental factor for the change in the mode of delivery of library services. General and traditional services of the library have been influenced with the introduction of new innovative practices, because of application of new ICT –based products and services.

If users’ expectations of the Library is very low since most users
accept the Library as it is, but with effective and consistent
promotion, the Library is able to change this perception.

centres such as bookstores, electronic media and others.
In conclusion, promotion and marketing of the library is
important and there is a need for libraries to enhance their
organization inline with users’ need.
