Reviews
Programming and outreach are a central function of libraries, but it can be challenging to design and run successful engagement initiatives. Focusing on the nuts and bolts of programming, this book provides librarians with innovative and effective ideas, as well as step-by step guidelines to move from vision to action. -- Carrie Forbes, Associate Dean for Student and Scholar Services, University of Denver Libraries This is an excellent, practical resource for librarians and staff new to developing library programs. Whether you work in an academic or public library, this book is rich with ideas for immediate implementation. Sample documents provide readers with a step-by-step framework to identify audiences and activities in the planning process, and tools ensure successful program management, execution, and assessment. -- Rosan Mitola, Outreach Librarian, Assistant Professor, University Libraries, University of Nevada, Las Vegas
