Fundraising Strategies
Resource development, that is the identification and successful recruitment of new sources of funds to advance the library and information services program, is an essential aspect of leadership and strategic progress. This course addresses two aspects of resource development: fundraising and entrepreneurial strategies. The conditions and trends in the environment of libraries and information services which drive resource development will be identified. The cultural, organizational, and programmatic elements of successful library fundraising programs will be reviewed and debated, with a particular focus on the role of the library leader. The function of innovation, risk-taking, competition and business planning in enabling and promoting entrepreneurial thinking and action in library and information services will be discussed, with an emphasis on income-generating projects
