[CODE4LIB] Data related to Giving/Support/Budget areas of your sites

2014-01-30 Thread Hicks, William
Hi Kids,

I’m starting in on creating a support/giving/budget portal (in Drupal) for our 
university library and am doing my due diligence on content and features.  To 
that end:


  *   Does anyone have an active online site/section/campaign that discusses 
budgetary and support issues in a technologically interesting way?  I remember 
the library value calculators  and the  http://dashboard.imamuseum.org/ from a 
few years back (anyone still use these? Data?) and am curious if anyone posts 
data visualizations or has examples of really well structured rhetorical online 
presentations to make their cases for budgetary changes (dealing with 
shortfalls), funding new buildings, monitory donations, and acquiring materials 
donations, etc. I realize that most of us have a “giving” page or section in 
our sites, but I’m interested in stuff that’s pushing boundaries in terms of 
display or data integration.


  *   Can anyone share their experience with the effectiveness of bookplates, 
Donor “Walls”, or calling out praise in exhibits, etc.  Brown has their 
bookpalate implementation that a number of libraries are using, and I’m curious 
if any of you use it (or something similar), and if you have stats or anecdotal 
evidence about how these strategies “work.” I have my doubts that regular users 
care where stuff came from, but does anyone have information on their effects 
in the Donor community? I can buy that it contributes to an institutions’ ethos 
of good stewardship, but I’m curious if there’s anyone who has been able to 
quantify this in some way.


  *   Anyone using social media, produced youtube videos, or other rich media 
as part of your support/giving strategies? Any examples of “viral” (ugg) 
marketing around these issues worth sharing. Stats?


  *   Anyone have analytics stats on their giving/support pages, created 
personas or done interviews with donors to see what they actually want/expect 
from us?  I have my assumptions about making effective narrative cases and can 
see many of the existing patterns on library sites out there, but any of your 
user data would be welcome.

I know this is a lot, so thanks for any thoughts in advance.
