Marketing in the 21st century is an asynchronous, online
course designed for MLS candidates, graduates, librarians and paraprofessionals
who are charged with creating marketing and promotions plans. It will highlight
the overall importance of using marketing and promotions to increase awareness
of our services and our profession. Far too often today, people say our profession
is dying. This course teaches its participants that marketing and promotions
can help us better serve our patrons in the 21st century, while improving
awareness and regard for our profession.
Learning aids include several user-friendly tools and
resources (checklists, diagrams, outlines) that beginners can use to create a
marketing plan. Participants will use basic project management principles to
help them manage creating and implementing a simple starter marketing plan.
Practical examples of such will be included. Additionally, there will be
assigned readings and web-extras for them to review.
In a final project(s), participants will create a guiding
mission statement, plan of action (hitting on project management applications)
and list of promotional activities for implementation in their library.
