LIMITATIONS OF THIS PROJECT
‣ results of benchmarking for this specific marketing strategy are inconclusive (due to too few survey responses?)
‣ model doesn’t scale with one leader
‣ 16 weeks is a long project, leading to attrition
51Tuesday, April 10, 2012
FUTURE RESEARCH POSSIBILITIES
‣ Yet to consider assessment data
‣ Continue as working groups, with those who completed this project as team leaders of their own groups
‣ The model of collaboration related to benchmarking marketing is possible using a wiki/e-mail format
‣ Possible that future increased survey responses would give us enough data

SUSTAINABILITY
“I had never really considered the importance of marketing to library staff before, but I see now just how critical it is to make sure we market resources internally.” - jsholman
http://libguides.uwlax.edu/DBtraining
TIMING
“I do not have a plan in place BUT the summer could be ideal to go through steps and be ready for the fall” - turkishvan13
CHOOSING A STRATEGY
“Email is too easily buried and forgotten. We have more success with in-person demonstrations, such as brown bag lunch and learns or attending team meetings. Our staff want to learn more about all the resources we provide, and they get more out of watching demonstrations and asking questions.” - lauraedwards
