"As libraries continue to compete with the Internet and bookstores to provide information to their users, it becomes critical to leave a lasting and positive impression on patrons so they will remember that libraries should be their first point of contact, for they still exist primarily to assist users in obtaining their desired information needs. How do libraries go about marketing themselves to accomplish this goal? Branding. In Creating Your Library Brand, Elisabeth Doucett uses her extensive background and education in business and marketing to enlighten library professionals about the significance of developing a library brand and how to market the brand so that an individual institution stands out among their virtual and retail-oriented competition.

"L'INIST, l'Institut de l'Information Scientifique et Technique du CNRS, s'adapte continuellement aux nouvelles technologies. Acquérir un fonds documentaire, le gérer, l'exploiter et le valoriser demande, à toutes les étapes, des compétences orientées vers l'informatique documentaire. Nous verrons comment les différents métiers de l'INIST-CNRS ont été modifiés au cours de ces dernières années, en particulier pour l'acquisition de documents électroniques, de leurs données de signalement et la transformation de celles-ci, les négociations et les aspects juridiques concernant leurs droits d'exploitation imposés ou devant être discutés directement avec les éditeurs. Ces pratiques d'ingénierie documentaire nécessitent une méthodologie favorisant la mutualisation des ressources et outils de transformation ; les techniciens et ingénieurs bénéficient actuellement d'un déploiement de compétences technologiques initié il y a déjà quelques années."

"Cette étude répondait au besoin de faire le point sur l’existant et révèle une situation fort contrastée. Si des avancées certaines ont été accomplies ces dernières années, il reste encore beaucoup à faire dans nos établissements en matière d’offre et d’accès à Internet et aux données numériques mis à la disposition des publics à desservir."

- Librarians' attitudes towards marketing library services
(source: Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, Vol. 41, No. 1, 39-50 (2009) / sur abonnement)
"This research set out to explore the attitudes of school, academic and public librarians towards marketing libraries. The main question that was examined is whether personality characteristics such as empowerment, extroversion and resistance to change influence librarians' attitudes towards the marketing of libraries. One hundred and fifty-six participants took part in this study. The research tools included: a personal details questionnaire, extroversion/ introversion questionnaire, attitudes towards marketing a library questionnaire, a resistance to change questionnaire and an empowerment questionnaire. The most important finding of this research was the positive correlation between personal characteristics: empowerment, extroversion and resistance to change and attitudes towards marketing libraries. The results of the current research emphasize the idea that librarians of all branches should be exposed to marketing concepts in order to maintain their central position as information providers despite — and within — the new technologies."
- Academic libraries and social and learning space: A case study of Loughborough University Library, UK
(source: Journal of Librarianship and Information Science, Vol. 41, No. 1, 7-18 (2009) / sur abonnement)
"A key area of debate within the public and academic library sectors across the world is use of physical space. Changing ideas about what a library should be, coupled with the growth of digital collections, has raised fundamental questions about how library buildings are used and the role of space in library services. Alongside these drivers is the need for libraries to produce data on services to inform their future development and design. This article is a case study from Loughborough University in the UK to evaluate the use of a large open learning/social space in the library. The investigation employs an ethnographic approach to gather data, a method little used in the field. Findings are explored under the following themes: collaborative study, individual study, social space, intrusions and interruptions, use of technology, diversity, library staff/library materials and spatial organization. The role of ethnographic studies within the library context is considered alongside the broader theoretical considerations of the use of physical space."
