About this title

Synopsis

Strategic Marketing for Libraries is a straightforward discussion of the full range of marketing concepts and tools applied to various types of libraries including public, special, and academic. Wood does an excellent job of explaining complicated marketing concepts and providing real-life examples. RQ

This handbook on planning and marketing is recommended as a guide for library managers in academic, public, and special libraries, large or small, who are groping for effective methods of outreach to their constituencies. There are not many volumes which address these aspects of management so thoroughly or so lucidly. Special Libraries

It is the authors' contention that, although librarians understand the need to market their institutions, they have not as yet focused on how to do so in a deliberate and structured fashion. The text provides means for the strategic planning of information marketing, and it incorporates cogent suggestions for defining missions, setting goals, and devising growth strategies and methodologies for evaluation. Wood and Young urge that the profession examine the challenges of automation in libraries in concert with current marketing strategies, thus assuring long-term viability and patron support. Booklist

This unique guide goes beyond mere endorsement of publicity and selling techniques to offer a thoughtful, practical, in-depth discussion of how marketing principles fit into library operations and planning. General marketing principles are explained and interpreted for practitioners in the library and information science fields. Applications of marketing principles appropriate for academic, public, and special libraries are described in detail. In addition, the book examines the interrelationships among the key steps of strategic planning, emphasizing the relationship of continuous, formal planning to implementation of marketing concepts. Numerous graphs and tables provide readily accessible information.

Shipping Terms

Priority Mail Domestic shipping rates are set for any book that fits into international Priority Mail flat rate envelope (limit 4 lbs., 10x12 inch size). If the book is larger or heavier, higher fees may be requested. Media mail rates are for any book under 5 lbs.
Priority Mail International shipping rates are set for any book or books that will fit into a flat rate Priority Mail envelope, weighing 4 lbs. or less. If weight or size are higher, we will need to request higher rates also.
Our experience with Priority Mail International shipments has been generally negative. Delivery for shipments that the USPS mail estimates in 6 to 8 business days, have experienced delivery delays to many countries running into two months. Even our most patient and understanding customers have been tremendously dissapointed. Unfortunately there is not much we can do. The approximate delivery dates listed on the USPS are hardly ever kept. Customers write annoyed but we have little to do with the delivery of a particular package once it is in the hands of the International Mail.

**CUSTOMS & IMPORT FEES:
Many countries are now requiring paymet of customs and import fees. Buyers are always responsible to pay those fees at the destination country. LEA Book Distributors is in no way responsible for such fees. We advise buyers to follow up promptly any such request in order to avoid delivery delays.

Las Tarifas de env�o para Priority Mail International est�n calculadas para cualquier libro o libros que caben en un sobre especial de tarifa plana o cuyo peso no pasa de 4 libras. Si el tama�o o peso exceden el tama�o del sobre o las 4 libras, necesitaremos pedir autorizaci�n para tarifas m�s elevadas.
Hemos tenido problemas repetidos muy serios con el Correo Internacional en muchos pa�ses. Muchos env�os han tardado de tres semanas a dos meses.
AHORA OFRECEMOS SERVICIO DE PAQUETER�A COURIER a costes razonables para ese servicio, por medio de UPS Worldwide Expedited. Si necesita recibir el paquete con garant�a de entrega de 6 a 8 d�as, con gusto le cotizaremos el coste adicional.

	 **TARIFAS DE IMPORTACI�N, IVA, etc.:

Muchos pa�ses requieren ahora el pago de tarifas de importaci�n, aduanas, IVA, etc. El comprador es siempre responsable de pagar esas tarifas en su destino. LEA Book Distributors no es responsable de pagar esas tarifas y aduanas. Aconsejamos a los compradores que est�n atentos a esas peticiones de pago de los Gobiernos respectivos pues si no se siguen se puede incurrir en retrasos considerables.
