History of Libraries & Marketing 图书馆和营销的历史 Library-Centric view 图书馆中心论 Users were expected to be motivated enough to learn the “rules” 期望读者自己主动去学习图书馆“规则” Libraries had little incentive to make changes 图书馆缺乏变革的动力 Expectation was that users could be taught to deal with barriers 期望读者被教会自己去处理问题 Libraries “know what their users need” 图书馆“知道自己的用户需要什么”
A “Selling Orientation”: persuasion 销售导向:说服能力 Libraries would share the virtues of their products and services – without asking the user what they valued 图书馆愿意分享好的产品和优质服务,但却没有询问用户的价值取向 Libraries believed users could be taught to deal with barriers – instead of eliminating them 图书馆相信能够教会用户去解决困难,而不是致力于消除这些问题

ULS Situation Analysis 匹兹堡大学图书馆的情境分析 Mission of ULS is to “…provide and promote access to information resources necessary for the achievement of the University’s leadership objectives in teaching, learning, research, creativity and community service, and to collaborate in the development of effective information, teaching and learning systems.” ULS的使命“…为完成学校的教育、学习、科研、创新和公共服务任务,提供和促进获取信息资源的途径与平台建设。同时与学校相关部门一起,合作开发成功的信息、教育和学习系统”
S.W.O.T. Analysis SWOT分析-态势分析法 S-Strength 优势 W-Weakness 劣势 O-Opportunity 机会 T-Threat 威胁 应用管理学的态势分析法,为本单位的发展规划和决策,制定战略目标和战术策略 SWOT分析法又称为态势分析法,它是由旧金山大学的管理学教授于20世纪80年代初提出来的,是一种能够较客观而准确地分析和研究一个单位现实情况的方法。SWOT四个英文字母分别代表:优势(Strength)、劣势(Weakness)、机会(Opportunity)、威胁(Threat)。从整体上看,SWOT可以分为两部分:第一部分为SW,主要用来分析内部条件;第二部分为OT,主要用来分析外部条件。利用这种方法可以从中找出对自己有利的、值得发扬的因素,以及对自己不利的、要避开的东西,发现存在的问题,找出解决办法,并明确以后的发展方向。根据这个分析,可以将问题按轻重缓急分类,明确哪些是目前急需解决的问题,哪些是可以稍微拖后一点儿的事情,哪些属于战略目标上的障碍,哪些属于战术上的问题,并将这些研究对象列举出来,依照矩阵形式排列,然后用系统分析的思想,把各种因素相互匹配起来加以分析,从中得出一系列相应的结论,而结论通常带有一定的决策性,有利于领导者和管理者做出较正确的决策和规划。
