Marketing Digital Reference Services -- Summary

[Sloan, Bernie]

About six weeks ago I posted a note inquiring about the marketing of digital
reference services. I promised to share results with the list.

I received five responses, each one asking me to share any information I
received.

So, I thought I'd try once more in case some folks might have missed my
original request:

I'd like to hear from people who feel that they've done a good job of
marketing their digital/online/electronic reference service. I'm interested
in both synchronous services (e.g., chat reference) and asynchronous
services (e.g., e-mail reference).

I'm especially interested in hearing from folks who feel they've been
successful at targeting their marketing efforts to "niche" groups such as
such as specific college departments, online classes, or distance learners.

Thanks!
