Dalal, Robin O’Hanlon, and Sharon L. Yacobucci, with year of hands-on experience at Rider University, the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, and New York University, respectively, have produced a practical guide on how to successfully integrate video marketing into libraries. The book is well organized, featuring a bulleted list of topics at the start of each chapter and wrapping each up with key points, references, and suggested readings. Not only will readers find step-by-step instructions for making a video but will also understand how to use it as a tool for driving awareness, promoting services and resources, and creating relationships with the community. Libraries of all sizes will want to add this gem to their professional collections.— Booklist
There are more than enough tips in this book to prove that librarians can create videos for marketing.... I wholeheartedly recommend that librarians involved in marketing communications have this book on their desks.
— Marketing Library Services
This is an excellent practical guide to the creation of videos, with step by step instructions. What I find really gratifying though is the authors understand the marketing process – they get the need to market the videos themselves, and to measure the impact of what they’ve created. Video Marketing for Libraries is a detailed and comprehensive guide to an increasingly essential aspect of library marketing.— Ned Potter, Academic Liaison Librarian, York University
