Academic libraries have continually looked for technological
solutions to low circulation statistics, under-usage by students
and faculty, and what is perceived as a crisis in relevance, seeing
themselves in competition with Google and Wikipedia. Academic
libraries, however, are as relevant as they have been historically,
as their primary functions within their university missions have
not changed, but merely evolved. Going beyond the Gate Count argues
that the problem is not relevance, but marketing and articulation.
This book offers theoretical reasoning and practical advice to
directors on how to better market the function of the library
within and beyond the home institution. The aim of this text is to
help directors, and ultimately, their librarians and staff get
students and faculty back into the library, as a result of better
articulation of the library s importance. The first chapter
explores the promotion of academic libraries and their function as
educational systems. The next two chapters focus on the importance
of the role social media and virtual presence in the academic
library, and engaging and encouraging students to use the library
through a variety of methods, such as visually oriented special
collections. Remaining chapters discuss collaboration and
collegiality, formalized reporting and marketing.
