From the the Online Education Database (OEDb)
Making marketing work for your library blog.
An article by Jill S Stover, in Internet Reference Services Quarterly, Vol 11 #4, 2006, pp. 155-167
http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J136v11n04_10
Describes how marketing ideas can be successfully applied to any library blog endeavour. Looks at why it's important to think about who the intended readers are, what their needs are, and how a blog can address those needs. The blog's design, content, tone, distribution and promotion will depend on this analysis. Quote: "A well-designed blog can lure readers in and compel them to explore the site."
Looking to the future: Implementing blogs in a community college library.
An article by Troy A Swanson, in Internet Reference Services Quarterly, Vol 11 #3, 2006, pp. 57-67
http://dx.doi.org/10.1300/J136v11n03_04
This article looks at how several blogs have transformed the Moraine Valley Community Library's website. Quote: "The more useful the information on the blogs, the more likely the librarians will be to read them and contribute to them, but it is difficult to get useful information without contributions from a number of people."
