This post from Duct Tape Marketing caught my eye as it ties into a previous discussion about bibliographic points-of-view. The post is about how to answer the question, "What do you do for a living" in a way that demonstrates your value. The example used is that of a doctor who tells people he, "help[s] people stay in their homes longer, go to one more grandaughter's [sic] wedding and attend their great, great grandson's Bar Mitzvah."
What would librarians say? We help students get A's on their papers? We enrich people's lives through reading? We create community and opportunity for everyone?

Libraries are more than just collections of books and other materials. Libraries are dynamic forces in their communities with the power to improve lives. Modern marketing demands that librarians look beyond their traditional roles ("outside the book") to find new ways to connect with people and further their success.
