Goanetter Julieta Dias Fisher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> has been helping Goanet to take forward an initiative started by Eddie Fernandes, to build a 'what happened in Goa on this date' database. She lives in a "small town called Pitman near the town of Glassboro where you might remember Johnson and Kosigyn met in the 'sixties" which is in New jersey, in the southern part near Philadelphia. Julieta spent her younger days in Kenya.
While chatting, I ran into a book she recently co-authored (attn: library scientists on Goanet): Tooting Your Own Horn: Web-Based Public Relations for the 21st Century Librarian (Promoting Your Library) (Paperback) by Julieta Dias Fisher, Ann Hill http://www.amazon.com/Tooting-Your-Own-Horn-Relations/dp/158683066X List Price: $39.95 OPENQUOTE Editorial Reviews From School Library Journal: Public relations aimed at your community-students, teachers, administrators, and parents-is vital for today's library program. The traditional means by which this is done still works, but an even better way is through a library home page. The authors have provided a thorough manual for creating an attractive, informative page for publicizing your library. They present many innovative ideas to showcase your library and its impact on the learning community. The first chapter gives an overview of public relations for today's librarian and how a home page can satisfy that need. Subsequent chapters show how a home page can enhance the teacher collaboration process, involve students in the library program and home page, and publicize special events. Using the home page to portray promotional strategies and materials in electronic format and to encourage reading are also addressed and amply illustrated. Librarians interested in increasing the visibility of their institutions will find this a must read. If you don't "toot your own horn," who will?-Jessica Foster, Fairfax County Public Schools, VA Copyright Reed Business Information, a division of Reed Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
