Conclusions “The single most important thing (you) can do in today’s digital world is to stay grounded in the rapidly changing digital landscape, stay abreast of the research and best practices, read the blogs, join the electronic discussion lists, attend the conferences, and engage others in the profession in conversations about where they are doing in their libraries to meet teens where they are: online and out in the virtual world.” (Suellentropp and Gorman, 2009)

- Ask what they think the terms mean.If no individuals speak up, ask for hands: are they interchangeable? Are they different? Are they shades of the same thing?
- Since they all relate - here’s a way to look at it from a public library point of view - Marketing is the plan we make for summer reading - the theme, the programs,what to track: minutes or pages or books read, what prizes will be given out at what levels, how many volunteers will we need…Advertising involves the school visits to tell them about the program, the fliers we post in the library, the small article we plant in the newspaper, the note we put in the library newsletter, the mentions we give it at the book clubs, the bookmarks with the dates and prize levels printed on them that get stuck into each backpackAnd Promotion involved the prizes we give the kids, the tchokes like the reading records and pencils, the photos we take when they reach 30 books…in fact, summer reading itself is promotion for the library as a whole…isn’t it? What a giant circle!
- I’d also like to touch on cell phone usage in teens.About 3/4’s of teens have a cell phone.Teens from low income homes, who may not have computers at home, are likely to have a cell phone and use it this way.Texts: If that is the average, imagine how high the number must go – 200 or so…Other forms of communication have remained stable (calls, e-mail, SNS, IM) but texting has grown.Does this line up with your experience with your teens?
- The first step is a marketing strategy. And it is called a strategy for a reason --- saves time and allows for a focus of resources. In other words, it is a plan.Look at how they use your library. Go where your kids are.Look at what you have & can use. Learn new things.Do not be afraid to try new things.Chart your progress 1. To learn how it’s going and 2. To show proof of how well it works to any doubters
- What I’ve been asked to show you here are virtual marketing plans - but keep in mind YOUR library’s reality. Do fliers and bookmarks work? Use ‘em!Does a bright board or digital photo frame with a power point work? Will they make your kids pay attention? Then use ‘em!Don’t shy away from what works just to try the new & shiny.However, the new & shiny often does attract teens like a blackbird to foil…so…
- Simplest, yet perhaps most effective thing you can do right now - send texts to willing teens.Willing = you’ve gotten permission to text them - do not anger the bill-payers I.e. the parents. Be sure the teens have unlimited texting, or just permission.I know of several libraries in CT that have had great success with this. CLICK ON LINK If you have Outlook…Remember the PEW research on cell phones? Texting is hot. There’s another way you can use texting, but it’s not free
- A good service, provided you get the word out (advertise this promotion!). You don’t need to use a phone – runs off your browser. Keep it open on your desktopKids use Cha-Cha a lot – advertise this as a reliable alternative. Cha Cha is OK, but they hire anyone with Google skills. One of my more ambitious teens got hired! Not picking on her, but she is not a librarian! She’s smart about using search engines. That’s all these services look for!But about this service: Once word gets out, you’ll also have adults texting you - be sure you have someone watching the computer desktop!
- So if you try things - how do you know what to try? How do you make the most out of these ideas I hope I have given you?Before we go on, would anyone like a BREAK???????????????You could make a K - W –L Chart It is used in classrooms, teachers ask students what they already Know; then students set goals specifying what they Want to learn; and after a time, students discuss what they have Learned. Use this for yourself! It’s handy!Build on what you know - you already have iPods, cell phones, computers - you know how to use these tools - you can build on your knowledge from wherever your starting point it.Sometimes you get to attend conferences like this! Or you could attend classes - YALSA offers some online ones every semester. Check with your State Library - most offer classes and workshops for continuing education at little cost.MOST OF ALL, I WANT TO STRESS THE VALUE OF PLAYING AND NOT BEING AFRAID - try things. Like I tried to make a movie. You can’t break your computer or the Intenet,
- Article on having personal and work profiles – quote it – touched on this eariler - talk about my experience on FBLegit concerns, but libraries & librarians must grow & adapt. There’s the old saw about videos and then DVDs making their way into the library - did they belong? No one would argue now, but it is true!Not every teen has a computer/smart phone - it’s not treating them with equity, That is not correct. Teens are wiley when it comes to getting online. School (Lana IMming me from class - kids texting me from class), the library (kids going onto FB after school at the Library), their friends computers, the numbers of cell phones are on the rise) - it is a legitimate way to reach this population of patrons.No, books are not going away, but Reference databases on online now - we don’t spend as much of our budget on paper ref books as on online DBs. Cell phones are everywhere and teens and adults are texting like mad, TextALibrarian at Ridgefield… Joe Murphy at Yale – go where the students are – colleges are starting to offer texting reference advisory.As far as legality…do not e-mail, text, or post on FB anything you wouldn’t write on a post-card. Be honest and smart.Also, as far as schools go - there may be filters on your computers in school, but there are still ways to use social media in schools in a smart way that is useful to your kids.
