strategy during the program design phase and using the strategy
to assess service quality during program implementation. Topics

Way planning model, approaches to periodic review and
assessments,

Marketing on a Shoestring
Instructor: Padgett Lewis, Richland County
Public Library
Libraries have great resources and services in
addition to books on every subject imaginable. But with limited time
and resources - and even staff - to devote to marketing, how do we make
sure the community knows what's available at the library? How
do we prioritize promotional needs and determine the focus of marketing
efforts? How
do we take advantage of electronic communication resources? Attend
this interactive session and explore solutions to these critical questions.
