“Drowning not Waving? Promoting Online Resources”
In a new issue of the xrefer newsletter, Peter Bolger, a Reference and Information Manager in the U.K., offers a few suggestions for promoting online databases and services. Btw, I love what the New York Public Library says on their electronic resources page, “Search the Branch Libraries’ e-resources for great information you won’t find on Google.” How’s that for short and to the point. It goes on to list many types of material including full-text magazine and journal articles, biographies, and reliable encyclopedias. Actually, another large challenge reamins, getting potential users to go to library web site and click on the e-resources page.
