With many institutions experiencing budget cuts, maintaining a loyal patron base and proving the value of our services is essential. The shift from analog to digital resources has brought about myriad changes for librarians and visual resources professionals as well as for constituents. As a result, professionals must communicate effectively to stakeholders—including administrators, faculty, students and staff— about transformed services and resources in the digital age. Creative marketing is essential to this process. This workshop will focus on identifying target stakeholders, strategies for effective communication, and marketing techniques.
Round-trip transportation between Hilton Minneapolis and MCAD will be provided. Please see our Conference Blog for further information.
