Abstract: When I was in library school, I recall being given a list of the functions of the reference librarian. The list looked something like: teach people how to use the library and its resources; answer queries for specific information; recommend good sources and reading material; promote the library within the community; and create bulletin boards. There was a time when we were the only music library in town, and we could "create bulletin boards" or not. We didn't need to market our libraries as patrons would still come use our collections and resources. That's not the case now. We are not the only library in town because the web offers access to so many libraries and resources. The availability of resource options has increased the need to market our services. Equally as important, is the increased patron confidence in their own ability to understand, navigate and evaluate the vast sea of information. Our marketing has to go beyond the bulletin board and meet our patrons in social networking spaces, through course management software, webpages, offering workshops, and the like.
In this presentation I will briefly examine some of the reasons for the shift away from patron dependence on our libraries, using information and statistics from the Credo Student Survey. I will then share a collection of visuals from some of the marketing campaigns I have developed to promote the Oberlin Conservatory Library, sharing my best and worst practices!
