Initiative TitleImplement Marketing Plan for SUNY Orange Library Instruction Program
Submitted in Previous Year(s)No
Critical Information, Notes, Justification, Rationale

The librarians have developed a draft marketing plan which utilizes marketing principles to draw interest and attention to existing services, and to guide development of new initiatives. For 2017-18, we are focusing on the Library Instruction Program and this initiative is intended to support those efforts. Taking a more comprehensive look at the program as a whole, we intend to develop clear and comprehensive printed and online materials, consistent statistics, thoroughly integrated assessments and surveys, and effective introductions to the concepts of information literacy that enhance the existing program. This initiative is an outgrowth of departmental discussions pertaining to the Information Literacy Outreach initiative from 2016-17.
