Post 1: Introduction
My name is Mary. I work in the library of a marketing agency. We have around 200 users, most of which are either account folks or creative folks at the agency. While we regularly assist the account teams with research requests, we are still looking for ways to provide services to the creative teams beyond simply offering books and magazines. We want to support and inspire innovative ideas.
As part of our reference service, we are constantly telling our users about new technology and media which can be utilized within a marketing context. Yet, we don’t always use these same tools to communicate with our users. Slowly, we are getting there. A colleague recently launched a blog as a way to showcase innovative thinking and to start a dialogue, via comments, with the agency. He’s still tweaking it, though, and trying to figure out the best way to organize the content and promote it.
I’m hoping to take ideas learned from this class and apply them to our library. Throughout this blog, I hope to give examples of what we are currently doing in our space and also consider what else we might be able to add to the mix.
