Library programming can increase patron awareness of and engagement with library resources and services. However, creative programming and promotion is what really draws people in, especially as libraries evolve and become more virtual. How can librarians reach their unique user groups when those users never have to step foot in the library?

Planning and Promoting Events in Health Sciences Libraries: Success Stories and Best Practices presents a simple blueprint for planning and promoting library events and programs written with medical librarians in mind. Whether you work in an academic or hospital setting, this book is full of useful suggestions and tips for taking the stress and confusion out of the library programming and event planning process. Drawing upon the wisdom and experience of health sciences librarians from across the country, this book will:



Walk readers through the stages of library programming and promotion
Act as a how-to for health sciences librarians looking to create successful outreach events
Highlight how other health sciences libraries just like yours have successfully created programs for their users, even those with little to no programming budget
Encourage readers to think creatively about their own programming and events

Planning and Promoting Events in Health Sciences Libraries: Success Stories and Best Practices will show you that you don’t need a degree in marketing in order to create successful outreach events. Health sciences librarians can take what they already know about their patrons and their own libraries and apply that knowledge to every planning process with the help of the practical strategies found in this guide.
