I recently received an e-mail from librarian Dennie Heye who informed me he has written his first book entitled, Characteristics of the Successful 21st Century Information Professional, which addresses a number of marketing topics. As Heye describes, "Marketing is a key element in our jobs as information professional. In my book there are several chapters related to marketing in the book, such as: marketing yourself, presentation skills, creativity and adding value. Each chapter has practical tips which can be used immediately." Heye works in a corporate setting and also has a Marketing degree. While I have not read the book yet myself, I am happy to pass along work librarians are doing in the area of Marketing. You can read more about the book and the author at Amazon.

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.
