Each of the 10 chapters presents a case study from an academic library: 8 from the United States and 2 from Australia. These papers demonstrate the wide range of methods that libraries use for promotion, ranging from the use of physical space and events to social media to the use of embedded librarians. Two of the most interesting chapters are one that focuses on an innovative collaborative online special-collections project (www.highway89.org), and another that does not discuss marketing per se, but rather a paradigm shift in librarianship. This collection will be of interest to academic librarians who want to do more outreach to their campuses and who can follow some of the models presented here. * Booklist *\u003cbr\u003eThis book, edited by Bradford Lee Eden, is the seventh in the series entitled Creating the 21st-Century Academic Library and it lives up to that title by offering readers innovative ideas on the topic.
