On the point about public libraria...Great post :) <br />On the point about public librarians not being able to campaign - while they probably can't be 'activists' in the sense of writing to their MP or joining a protest march, as that would come under criticising their employer, I would have thought that 'advocacy' in the sense of marketing their own service to new potential users (ie the public) and to managers (ie councillors) would be a core part of their job description.<br /><br />Thinking of advocacy in terms of marketing, I think it's important to remember that the audience for your advocacy efforts isn't one amorphous mass. What I mean is, it's not very effective to have one message and broadcast it to everyone. Instead what marketers do is to segment their target audience into different groups, think what their needs are, and tailor different messages (probably sent by different channels) for the different groups.<br /><br />For example, members of the public might need training on PC & internet use, and might best see a message about this via local posters, while councillors might need to see value for money data, which they would only see in a report sent directly to them - so each need very different advocacy efforts.<br /><br />Advocacy/marketing to users, resulting in increased footfall or online usage, gives better data to use in advocacy to councillors/ managers, which hopefully keeps the service open or allows budget for improved services... a virtuous circle.<br />Nicola Franklinhttp://thelibrarycareer.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
