When we began this work, we never expected so much support from professional colleagues from every corner of the world. We have tried to cover many aspects of the LIS marketing in international perspectives. We would like acknowledging all contributors who have made excellent efforts in developing their papers and making this volume possible, we are grateful to them. We also express our deepest gratitude to Ms. Deepa Chaturvedi, Lecturer in English, Government College, Kota who took care of the language part. She also put many useful suggestions to make this study cohesive. Thanks are also due to Mr. K.B. Saxena, "Logo Computers" who did all data processing work of the volume in an efficient way.

Quality is seen as a core value and all staff in all sections and branches are involved in ongoing quality initiatives. The program has been implemented in incremental stages as part of the Library's strategic management processes. The Library's mission statement was first revised. Goals and directions for the library were determined and the organisation structured to devolve responsibility for initiatives to all sections and branches of the Library. Priority areas were determined consultatively and taskforces to address the priorities opened to all staff. Each taskforce undertook a range of internal and external benchmarking activities. Performance measurement moved from simple collection of statistics to include qualitative measures such as client satisfaction. Results obtained are used to improve servi...

The strategies adopted include getting closer to its clients, identifying priorities, emphasising staff development and training, upgrading the technology, improving the facilities, and reorganising and restructuring service delivery. Achieving the transformation has not been easy, and many lessons in making the process more effective have been learned. THE CONTEXT The University of Queensland is a large comprehensive university, enrolling 25,000 students, of whom 20 % are postgraduates. There are 4800 staff divided almost equally between teaching and research staff, and general staff. The main University campus is at St Lucia in the western suburbs of Brisbane, with another major campus at Gatton College, 100 km to the west, a burgeoning campus at Ips...

Library management at the University of Queensland has implemented programmes that address these issues, provide opportunities for staff to gain new skills and knowledge and help staff develop personal and professional approaches to deal with increasing complexity. A job rotation scheme, flexible working hours, improved induction, systematic ongoing staff development, management skills development, mentoring and shadowing schemes, staff involvement in planning and projects and a “Wellness program ” are some of the initiatives implemented by the University of

At any time The University of Queensland Cybrary – Australia’s first – makes travel to a new world of knowledge easy. Students can plan their route and take advantage of short cuts, or if they prefer, take a leisurely meander and discover exciting new places off the beaten track. The Cybrary integrates state of the art information technology with traditional services to create a “virtual library ” in a “wired university”. From any of hundreds of high-end Pentium computers within the Library, and day or night from home or office, students can explore or target the world of information as they wish. The Cybrary pushes out the boundaries of information gathering and gives students new scope for synthesising and processing the material they discover. The Cybrary is an indispensable, integrated approach to meet the information demands of lifelong learning and problem based teaching. It is a powerful supp...

The challenges facing subject gateways are examined, including interoperability, coordination and most significantly, sustainability. The paper concludes with the overarching questions being considered by gateway coordinators such as the place of subject gateways and their future given trends in the evolution of the web.
