I believe that all libraries need to be working on marketing and advocating. We need our communities to understand the value of their library to their community. This includes their friends groups, foundations, etc. I agree with everything above, especially Alan Kirk Gray’s comments, but if we don’t raise the awareness of the value of libraries nation-wide (world-wide?), it does not matter what we do – we will not survive.

I echo Alan’s point and firmly believe that we need to improve interfaces / web site design of all of our electronic products. I’ve just been talking about this with my reference class, and if the interface OR results page are too confusing / difficult to use, the majority of our patrons WON’T. Particularly those who have never used us in the past; particularly those who grew up with Google.
