If you haven’t taken a look at this terrific library marketing video from LIS students at the University of Pittsburgh, what are you waiting for? These students could teach experienced library marketing experts a thing or two about selling the library to young people.

The heart of rock n’ Roll… is in the library
no matter how well they advertise it, there is almost nothing that will make me enjoy using Pitt’s libraries—and I work for two of ’em!
the website itself sucks (and doesn’t work without a www on the front, which is just lame—so 1996…); the catalog is a pain (which goes with the staff program, which is several pains at once); the article search (which is outsourced to some private company, it’s not even on Pitt’s server. . .) claims to also search books, but doesn’t; …. but maybe i just need to stop comparing Pitt to Michigan (whose libraries i worked at in high school and community college).
beautiful dog, btw.
