It's often hard to juggle promoting a library's e-resources effectively at the same time as building basic visibility within the community it serves. Useful for librarians at any type of institution, this How-To-Do-It Manual guides readers through every step of developing, implementing, and evaluating plans to market e-resources in an approachable and user-friendly way. Kennedy and LaGuardia show how front line librarians can improve awareness of under-utilized resources and increase demand for more of the same, thereby encouraging increased funding. Their book includes

• Four complete programs from both public and academic libraries
• A step-by-step organization guide, with a variety of feedback and assessment forms which can be used as models
• Numerous examples of well-executed plans and outcomes
