Michelle McIntyre reminded me about Webjunction so I thought I would remind you.
She found a great article called "Marketing the Small Library". It is by the State Library of Kansas, 2002 and available on Webjunction. I have put a link to it under the Articles section to the right. It is 70 pages long, so you might want to just print the sections relavent to your need/interest.
There is an entire marketing section under management.
Webjunction really is a "one stop" for rural and small libraries wanting assistance with various topics. It also provides staff training, help with technology and is a social networking site for librarians. Don't discount social networking! For those of you geographically located in the hinterlands, social networking sites can help you stay connected and feel less isolated or alone.
Libraryland is filled with blogging librarians who without the Internet or social networking capablities would ever been noticed.
So, if you haven't visited in a while why not visit today:

Thanks for the great plug, Michelle. I'd like to encourage those who do read the report or any of the other content on the site to leave a comment or rating, so others can see how useful (or not) you found the information. And if you want an easy way to stay in touch with the content and programs on WebJunction, we've got a free monthly e-newsletter that you can subscribe to right on the homepage.
Thanks again for pointing out that great report from Kansas.
