Marketing and Public Relations for Libraries Reviews

...applies to all types of libraries...a thought-provoking treatise... * Marketing Library Services *
...this slim book alerts us to the problems and possibilities of marketing and public relations and may well be suited for a discussion guide or as one of the readings for a course in this field. The index, bibliography, and references are all helpful. * Library Journal *
...an important volume...the blend of practical information and theoretical concepts makes this volume extremely useful to library planners, managers, trustees, and practicing professionals. * Lisca *
Kies does a good job of clarifying the often unclear distinction between public relations and marketing. She also does a good job of describing the historical development, principles, and practices of public relations and marketing...useful for administrators and managers... * Wilson Library Bulletin *
Thoughtfully addressing all types of libraries...the author emphasizes the planning and evaluation processes...Though textbook-like in content, the study is concise and readable. A thorough and remarkably upbeat planning manual for managers and library pr/marketing specialists as well as students. * Booklist *
...the treatment given to public relations is refreshingly conceptual. * Rq *
...a persuasive and excellent introduction...probably the single best starting point both for experienced managers and for graduate students... * Journal of Academic Librarianship *
Her list of basic principles should be must reading and rereading for library administrators...definitely a title worth adding to professional collections and using as a basis for some close examination of an institution's position. * VOYA *
Quite simply it is not only the best and most lucid work on the topic of public relations which I have come across in the field of librarianship, but among the best I have read in a wide range of public relations manuals. * Library Review *
