Through subnetting, a network administrator can logically divide a single network into multiple subnets with fewer hosts on each. This reduces broadcast traffic across the entire network. The key concept is borrowing bits from the host portion of the IP address to create the subnet portion. For each address class, only a certain number of bits can be borrowed to create subnets while ensuring some bits remain for host IDs. Calculations using simple formulas allow determining the number of subnets and hosts per subnet available for any given subnet mask.
Sales promotion tools are used by manufacturers to increase product sales. These include free samples, premium offers, exchange schemes, price discounts, coupons, fairs and exhibitions, bonus points programs, money back guarantees, and scratch and win contests. While sales promotions boost short-term sales, they can also increase price sensitivity and reduce brand loyalty over time if overused.

Marketing of academic library services & productsSupriya Kuber
This document discusses marketing of academic library services and products. It defines marketing as bringing about voluntary exchanges to achieve organizational goals. Marketing is important for libraries to play a dynamic role in achieving goals and objectives, and to cope with increasing clientele and expectations. The objectives of an academic library include satisfying user needs and developing effective communication. Services that can be marketed include reference, current awareness, document delivery, and alerting users to new arrivals. Marketing tools for libraries include brochures, newsletters, websites, exhibitions, and orientation programs. Advantages of library marketing are better management, improved image and services, and improved staff efficiency. Disadvantages can include ignorance of marketing concepts and lack of training, research, and positive attitude.
This document summarizes the perspectives of key stakeholders in academic publishing in Europe and discusses challenges and directions for the future, including issues around content, services, skills, costs and sustainability. It notes that while research volumes are increasing, resources are constrained, and there is growing interest in open access policies and concerns about the costs of transition. Users want easy access to both quality-assured and other content, as well as assessment services, but the digital environment is not fully understood. Providers are overlapping in some areas but complementarity also exists between researchers, libraries, publishers and other services. Seeing the future remains unclear but users must be the drivers while balancing quality, comprehensiveness, costs and sustainability.

Managing Electronic Resources for Public Libraries, Part 1ALATechSource
The document outlines best practices for managing electronic resources in public libraries. It discusses organizing responsibilities through governance models and collaboration with partners. Key tasks covered include identifying needs, locating suitable products, conducting trials, setting up new resources, and promoting them. Maintaining resources requires collection usage statistics, vendor negotiations, training staff and patrons, and troubleshooting issues. The goal is to effectively select, organize, provide access to, and promote electronic materials that meet community needs.
How To Evaluate Web Based Information ResourcesPrasanna Iyer
The document discusses evaluating web-based information resources and improving information literacy. It provides criteria for evaluating resources, including credibility, user interface, content, search features, and access. As librarians, it is important to help users find expert information and evaluate quality. Improving information literacy involves collaborating with users to help them locate, evaluate, and effectively use information while understanding legal and ethical issues.
This document summarizes the key challenges in understanding researchers' behaviors and needs regarding information for their work. It discusses how the volume of research is increasing yet costs are rising, placing more importance on cost-effectiveness. It also examines researchers' information gathering process, the types of content and services they require, and who provides these resources, with questions around sustainability. Skills development is another area explored in terms of user needs and who provides training. In conclusion, more understanding is still needed around digital information use while balancing constraints on funding with growing research volumes.
E-Resources and Information Literacy: A Working Sessionsdarbandi
This document outlines the agenda for a working session on e-resources and information literacy. The session will introduce Credo Reference and Libraries Thriving services and have group discussions. It will also cover getting the most out of Credo Reference and new features. Three studies on information literacy challenges students face are summarized. The value of academic libraries is discussed based on an ACRL report. Suggestions are provided for the print to digital transition, curriculum alignment, faculty collaboration, technology trends, and assessment. Case studies model collaboration between libraries and other campus partners.
This document outlines steps for evaluating electronic resources for a library collection. It discusses:
1) Knowing your user population and their needs through communication with faculty and analyzing resource usage.
2) Developing both long-term and short-term collection goals and balancing subscriptions with available funds.
3) Thoroughly evaluating trial resources through hands-on use and user/staff feedback before making purchasing decisions.
The document discusses disruptive innovation in academic libraries. It defines disruptive innovation as technology that changes existing business models or user expectations. Academic libraries and scholarly communication are being disrupted by new technologies. Libraries are embracing flexibility and cutting-edge technology. They are becoming learning commons that foster collaboration instead of simply being archives. Libraries are redesigning spaces, acquiring new skills, and developing digital strategies and risk management to address challenges posed by digital disruption and the changing needs of users.
This document discusses developing and managing a social media presence for stakeholder interaction. It recommends identifying influencers, evaluating social media use against key performance indicators, refining strategy based on results, and iterating content. A four phase process is outlined: gather internal information, monitor conversations, stratify audiences based on evidence, and plan engagement tactics. Metrics should be established to measure success and inform refinement of the social media strategy. The goal is to integrate a company's social media presence with other marketing channels.
The document discusses how libraries can engage users through Web 2.0 technologies. It outlines 21st century literacy skills needed and how an information literate society benefits countries, industries, and individuals. Examples of Web 2.0 applications that could be used in libraries are provided, as well as tips for implementing new technologies like establishing clear objectives and involving stakeholders. The importance of libraries adapting to remain relevant by making the most of tools like social networking, videos and knowledge sharing is emphasized.
Marketing is important for libraries to understand users and promote services. Key marketing concepts for libraries include understanding the target market, developing products and services to meet user needs, and promoting offerings through appropriate channels. Marketing involves analyzing user data, developing plans, and using techniques like the marketing mix to effectively reach the intended audience. Accountability and demonstrating the library's value to funders is also important through tools like performance measures and marketing research.
This document provides guidance on developing a knowledge management strategy for a library. It outlines several key steps: 1) Identify problems to be solved, such as knowledge decay or high staff turnover. 2) Prepare for change by getting sponsorship and studying the existing culture. 3) Create an implementation team with a range of expertise. 4) Perform a knowledge audit to understand current assets and gaps. 5) Identify human capital and information resources. 6) Create knowledge management solutions like access applications or a knowledge warehouse. 7) Link knowledge to people through communities, processes, and technology. An effective strategy requires managing people, processes, knowledge, and infrastructure.

UNIVESITIES COMMON CURRICULA BY DR. TIRONG arap TANUIunulwbpartnership
This document proposes developing common curricula across Kenyan universities to harmonize resources and achieve education objectives. It analyzes Bachelor of Education and Bachelor of Laws programs already modeled between University of Nairobi, Moi University, and Strathmore University. The methodology examines available course content online from these universities. The document concludes universities should create a shared, specific bibliographic database hosted by KENET for each modeled program, while each university library provides access to materials. This will optimize resources through coordination of curricula.
UNIVERSITIES ACT 2012: IMPLICATION ON UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES By Dr. Tanui Tirongunulwbpartnership
The Universities Act of 2012 in Kenya established several new bodies that have implications for university libraries. It created the Commission for University Education to promote quality, set standards, and ensure universities comply with guidelines. It also formed the Universities Funding Board to provide financial support to universities from the government and donors. Additionally, it established the Kenya University and Colleges Central Placement Services Board to coordinate student placement into university programs. While the Act defines academic staff, it does not define or mention university librarians. In response, the document calls for forming a subcommittee to study the impact of the Act on libraries and to influence university statutes to prioritize library services.
Knowledge management is a concept that has emerged explosively in the business community starting from the 60s and has been discussed extensively in the literature. The essential part of KM is, of course, knowledge. To determine what KM is, it is necessary to distinguish some definitions and concepts.
E-publishing is short form of electronic publishing, which refers to production of any work formatted to be read on a computer or by a hand-held device. This is an area that was never conceivable before the advent of the internet, particularly the web.
How to develop a Knowledge Management Strategy for your Library Practical Pr...unulwbpartnership
In simple terms a KM strategy is the process of generating, codifying, and transferring explicit and tacit knowledge within an organization, getting the right information, to the right people, in the right place and at the right time.

Decolonizing Universal Design for LearningFrederic Fovet
UDL has gained in popularity over the last decade both in the K-12 and the post-secondary sectors. The usefulness of UDL to create inclusive learning experiences for the full array of diverse learners has been well documented in the literature, and there is now increasing scholarship examining the process of integrating UDL strategically across organisations. One concern, however, remains under-reported and under-researched. Much of the scholarship on UDL ironically remains while and Eurocentric. Even if UDL, as a discourse, considers the decolonization of the curriculum, it is abundantly clear that the research and advocacy related to UDL originates almost exclusively from the Global North and from a Euro-Caucasian authorship. It is argued that it is high time for the way UDL has been monopolized by Global North scholars and practitioners to be challenged. Voices discussing and framing UDL, from the Global South and Indigenous communities, must be amplified and showcased in order to rectify this glaring imbalance and contradiction.
This session represents an opportunity for the author to reflect on a volume he has just finished editing entitled Decolonizing UDL and to highlight and share insights into the key innovations, promising practices, and calls for change, originating from the Global South and Indigenous Communities, that have woven the canvas of this book. The session seeks to create a space for critical dialogue, for the challenging of existing power dynamics within the UDL scholarship, and for the emergence of transformative voices from underrepresented communities. The workshop will use the UDL principles scrupulously to engage participants in diverse ways (challenging single story approaches to the narrative that surrounds UDL implementation) , as well as offer multiple means of action and expression for them to gain ownership over the key themes and concerns of the session (by encouraging a broad range of interventions, contributions, and stances).
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the creation of images and videos, enabling the generation of highly realistic and imaginative visual content. Utilizing advanced techniques like Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs) and neural style transfer, AI can transform simple sketches into detailed artwork or blend various styles into unique visual masterpieces. GANs, in particular, function by pitting two neural networks against each other, resulting in the production of remarkably lifelike images. AI's ability to analyze and learn from vast datasets allows it to create visuals that not only mimic human creativity but also push the boundaries of artistic expression, making it a powerful tool in digital media and entertainment industries.

2. ObjectivesObjectives
Introduction to marketing concept
How to market e-resources
Overview of marketing tools
Importance of e-resources
Selection of e-resources
3. IntroductionIntroduction
Libraries continue to move more of their
resources from print to electronic formats
The challenge of effective marketing of those
resources has become apparent
The traditional marketing techniques for print
resources do not work for e-resources because
there are no physical volumes to view
How then do libraries best connect their patrons
to appropriate electronic resources?
4. MarketingMarketing
Making known of an e-resource
with an aim of increasing access and
use of a resource, to support
quality teaching and research
output.
5. Marketing mix
4Ps of marketing in the library context
Product: traditional image of the library as
the ‘brand identity’
Place/distribution: are products distributed from a physical
place, or is the intranet, or even Internet, used as a delivery
medium?
Pricing: how do prices for library products or services
compare with electronic Internet based current awareness,
document delivery or bibliographic services?
Promotion: will the library actively promote its services or
risk losing business to new information providers?
6. How to market e-resources:How to market e-resources:
Training:
Effective training is the most valuable
promotional tool of e-resources.
Helps to limit anxiety associated with electronic
searching.
Effective training approaches:
Top – down training
Training as part of library programme / project
One- on-one training- to individual users
Training as part of information literacy programme
(also known as freshman’s kitty”)
7. Organizing an open day:Organizing an open day:
Open days should be carefully
designed and used selectively.
It is good to accompany existing events or
opportunities
8. Posters, resource guides
and leaflets:
Posters:
These are usually most effective when associated with the
launch of a new service or a special event.
Resource guide:
These can be used to showcase e-resources
without the constraint of the website.
Subscription service is available via:

Leaflets:
Lists of databases held or types of e-resources can be
featured. Do not incorporate too much information
9. Exploiting a library newsletter
A newsletter distributed by e-mail is an excellent way to
market the library, particularly if the library serves several
offices or departments in different locations.
Tips for a successful newsletter:
• Keep it short and snappy
• Feature some members of your staff in
each edition (include photographs)
• Highlight a success story. Did the information you
provided help someone win a research grant?
• Reiterate that you are here to help and encourage
questions and feedback
10. Resource of the month
A different resource can be featured every month
on the first welcome screen of the library website.
One can offer a short concise description of the
content, dates of coverage, and URL.
Usage is likely to go up in the month where the
database has been selected as ‘resource of the
month’
11. Alerting service
Users interested in a specific subject area can
register for the alerting service by entering
their name and e-mail address.
New electronic resources that
have been included can be set on certain
status and a list of the resources with the
‘new’ status can be mailed to the interested
groups.
12. Other marketing toolsOther marketing tools
Brochures
Share user names and
passwords
Share Uniform Resource
Locator’s (URLs); share
links
Branding: pens, writing
materials, flask disks and
T-shirts.
E-resource online guides

with a marketing slogans
e.g. Data junkie, data
queen, I love marketing
data.
Word of mouth: formal
or informal gatherings
Screen savers for
E-resources
Social Media:
Facebook, LinkedIn
and twitter

14. Importance of e-resourcesImportance of e-resources
Why e-resources?
Increase in availability of resources
in electronic format
Improved infrastructure
Reduced costs of computers and related
hardware
CHALLENGE: in-effective marketing of resources
15. Selection criteriaSelection criteria
e-resource MUST contribute to the Library's
mission of providing support for instruction and
research for its primary clientele
Demand driven
Authentic and reputable source
Accurate
Within library budget
16. Technical requirementsTechnical requirements
Hardware & software – standard
Product must be net-workable
- What is the means of accessing data
(e.g., are passwords required)?
- Is the resource available at all times
(e.g. Internet resources)?
-Are there special security requirements beyond what the
library usually provides?
- Is the resource stable
(i.e., is the software "buggy")?
17. Technical ..Technical ....
User friendliness
Searching functionality:
- Is the data current?
- How often updated?
Does the content include abstracts? Full text?
Does the vendor have a good reputation and
provide good service?
Does the vendor provide support materials?
18. Electronic resources available toElectronic resources available to
institutions:institutions:
Electronic resources have a direct or indirect cost.
Options:
Paid for- scholarly reputable databases – as direct
payment and access by individual institutions or through
consortium’s Access to resources through consortium’s
- 2 ways:
1. Negotiating for discounted access and usage of
e-resources with publishers on behalf of the client.
2. Negotiating for discounted through pulled payments
19. Resources ….Resources ….
Free - available through programmes
such as Research4life. Such programmes
negotiate for e-resources with the
publishers on behalf of clients.
In this model, cost of access to resources is pegged on
country GDP.
Free - open source in the Internet. In most cases NOT
authentic.
20. ChallengesChallenges
Some users may harbor a distrust
of all electronic formats, while
other users may not be aware of
newly available resources that would meet their
needs
The cost of e-resource (initial cost and the ever
increasing annual subscriptions)
Initial costs for infrastructure (hardware,
networking) and staff training
21. Conclusion
Marketing of e-resources is now well and truly
established as crucial to the
success of any service.
A major key to such success
is for marketing not to be seen
as a bolt-on extra, a luxury that is done when
the librarian has the time, but rather as an
essential component of service delivery.
22. RecommendationsRecommendations
Attempt to get the attention of the patrons
- be courteous, approachable and friendly
Improve the acceptance of the new service
- basic training on search and navigation
Enhance awareness of what is available and its value to
users
- basic marketing strategy; pins, poster, library hour, library
screen savers
Guide clients to the appropriate resources
- carry out a basic needs assessment to understand your
user needs and to guide them to the appropriate e-content
Develop a feedback mechanism. This will assist improve and
develop an effective marketing strategy that best meets user
needs

The traditional marketing techniques for print resources, such as putting the new items on a “new book shelf” near the front door or keeping heavily used reference items at the reference desk, do not work for resources in an electronic format because there are no physical volumes to view.
Esthetic value Keep it simple and to the point Timely- when required- not during CATS and exam period Right audience- use appropriate databases as examples Acquire promotional tools from the publisher/consortium/parent institution - makes it more authentic Demonstrate search and access of e-resources at events initiated by the institution
