...|Producing a Promotional Strategy | |What is a promotional strategy? | |Most of us are familiar with market research as suppliers (or information providers) try to obtain information from us (or library users) | |on what we require. Promotion is the reverse side of this. Organisations use promotion to communicate with customers about products they | |offer. Promotion is thus one half of the communication process with customers. Ideally it will work co-operatively with market research (in| |an iterative feedback loop) so that the constantly changing requirements of users are met by promotional activities that target (or even | |anticipate) these expressed needs. | | | |Such activities need to be managed. They require the allocation and expenditure of resources, whether physical (promotional products) or | |intangible (staff time or use of existing facilities). As such they cannot simply be allowed to grow organically – they require shaping and| |direction via a promotional strategy. ...

...Douglass Library, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, 848-932-5009 Hannah Kwon, PhD Student, Rutgers SC&I, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Abstract Despite the considerable attention paid to the need to increase the information literacy of high school students in preparation for the transition to college, poor research skills still seem to be the norm. To gain insight into the problem, library instruction environments of nineteen high schools were explored. The schools were selected based on whether their graduates did well or poorly on information-skills assignments integrated in a required first-year college course. The librarians in the nineteen schools were asked to characterize their working relationships with teachers, estimate their students’ information-literacy achievement, and provide data on their staffing and budgets. Findings suggest that school librarians are seldom in a position to adequately collaborate with teachers and that their opportunities to help students achieve information literacy are limited. Introduction The study reported in this paper was inspired by observations made by students in the Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) program at Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey in the United States. For many years, MLIS students in both the Information Literacy: Learning and Teaching and the Field Experience courses commented that undergraduates whom they encountered as part of their assignments were poor users of academic library resources...

...Introduction In the 2000s, more and more electronic resources have become part of the stock of most libraries. The complex issues surrounding the selection and management of electronic information resources may arise many problems. Written collection development policies are suggested to solve these problems. Thus the library should update its collection management policy document, which was several years old, to adapt the changes in this 21st century. The purposes of this essay are to discuss the importance of written collection management policy and the methods of revising the document relevant to a library at the beginning of the 2000s. Collection Development Policy According to Evans (1995), “Collection development” and “Collection management” are often used with much the same meaning – the process of meeting the information needs of a service population in a timely and economic manner using information resources locally held as well as from other organizations. Jenkins and Morley (1999) explain that “Collection development” implies building and growing, dealing with the selection and acquisition of library materials, while “Collection management” emphasizes the systematic management of a library’s existing collection, rather than selection and acquisition. However, American Library Association (1996) states that collection development includes selection, acquisition, user assessment, collection evaluation, collection maintenance and weeding. It is usually...

...Annotated Bibliography Tabatha L. Clow University of Phoenix Taylor, M.M. (2004). Leadership in Literacy Education Reform: A Constructivist Learning and Culturally Responsive Perspective (Doctoral Dissertation). Retrieved December 10, 2009, from Dissertations & Theses @ University of Phoenix. (UMI No.:3136143) This dissertation study is a comparison between constructivist learn and culturally responsive teaching (CLCRT) and traditional instructive approaches and how they comply with the No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 (NCLB). The CLCRT is a model on how to improve reading literacy for the disadvantaged and minority students while initiating school reform required by the NCLB. The CLCRT model examines pedagogy very carefully and informs school leadership about the effects of the pedagogy theory on students’. A PDS model (Professional Development School) was developed to help school leadership with the education reform strategies. We look at the PDS model and see that when teachers, school leadership and parents work together students’ grades improve. This study shows the importance of school leadership and teachers working together to implement new programs like the CLCRT education reform model. Horwitz, F.M., Bravington, D., & Silvis, U.

... open Media Web." Songbird utilizes the cross-platform frameworks, Mozilla's XULRunner and GStreamer media framework, and is largely capable of running on Microsoft Windows, Apple Mac OS X, Solaris and Linux. The user interface of Songbird is similar to that of Apple iTunes. It also supports syncing its music library to iPods. Hence, many people have started using Songbird as an alternative to the closed source and bloated iTunes. Songbird can be downloaded from http://getsongbird.com/ User Stories: While Songbird has robust music library management, and can import the files on your hard disk to this library, it lacks the feature of importing songs from the iTunes library. This deters many new users from switching over to Songbird, because they fear losing their play count, “starred” songs, and stored metadata like lyrics and album information. Essentially all this information should be stored with the audio file itself, by making use of ID3 tags. iTunes, however, chooses to maintain this information both in its proprietary “itl” format, and as an XML file. To ease the transition for new users, Songbird should support importing from the user’s iTunes library. The other limitation of Songbird is that it can’t connect to, or use, songs from the Apple iTunes store. Many iTunes users have already purchased a lot of songs from the iTunes online store, and not being able to add or play this music in Songbird is a major drawback. In addition to the iTunes store,...
