Item @ Your Library: Public Relations and More at Indiana Libraries(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Russo, Michele C.Not so many years ago, public relations in libraries often consisted of no more than an occasional program or a few flyers and newsletters describing library services. These activities principally took place in public libraries. Academic libraries might host an event, but the focus was primarily on fundraising, not on marketing their services. Neither did school nor special librarians feel the need to promote the library to their constituencies. Those were the days when librarians took for granted that everyone knew and understood the value of what we had to offer. We were the source for information; people needed us; and we didn’t need to get involved with the perceived “messiness” of public relations.Item A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words @ Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Welkie, JoyceOne look at the entrance to the Children’s Room of the Plainfield-Guilford Township Public Library and you’ll be amazed at the sights you’ll see. The floor-to-ceiling interior windows are painted with eyecatching signs and pictures that promote upcoming children’s programs.Item A Second Chance for a Family's Survival: The Indiana State Library's Read-To-Me Program(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Albertson, Marie J.The Read-To-Me Program is a program that offers an opportunity to offenders in Indiana correctional facilities to share books and the joy of reading with their children. This is a cooperative effort between the Indiana State Library/Library Development Office and the correctional libraries. This program addresses the special needs of incarcerated parents and opens an avenue of communication between parent and child.Item Indiana Libraries Advertising Reservation Form(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Indiana LibrariesItem Creating a Library Fair(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Evans, KarenAlmost two years ago, I was a new librarian at Indiana State University. Naively, I asked the head of reference what kind of event the library planned to welcome students when the fall semester started. “None,” she replied, “but it sounds like a good idea. Why don’t you work on something?” “Be glad to,” I answered (having no idea what I was getting into). Following is our adventure in creating an event to welcome students to the Cunningham Memorial Library.Item Essentials of Marketing Your Library: How We Do it at Carmel Clay(H.W. Wilson Company, 2001) Smiertana, BethPromoting your library, and its programs and services, is imperative to the success of the library in today’s ever-changing economic and high-tech environment. In a time of cutbacks, and even elimination, of all but the most essential public services, anonymity can be the undoing of the library. We must prove our intrinsic value, and garner support in our communities to build a strong foundation upon which we can rely during times of both prosperity and the more difficult periods. We provide a valuable service to the community and society in general, but we can’t assume that the public, elected officials, or even our patrons fully appreciate this fact. We need to educate them continuously, and effective marketing is the first step in doing so.Item Indiana Library Federation General Information(H.W.

Wilson Company, 2001) Cleaver, SusieWhen Jeanna Miller started to work as a page at the Bittersweet Branch of the Mishawaka-Penn-Harris Public Library in May 1998, she never thought that a parttime job in a library would have such a positive effect on her college years. But that is exactly what the junior at Indiana University South Bend (IUSB) found out when the Friends of the Library awarded her a $500 scholarship last August.
