Successful Fundraising Published
The Association of Research Libraries is pleased to announce the
availability Successful Fundraising: Case Studies of Academic Libraries,
edited by Meredith Butler. Higher education today is a fiercely
competitive environment both within our universities and in the wider
community where many nonprofit organizations are vying for philanthropic
support. For most of our libraries, fundraising has become an absolute
necessity and library directors at all types of institutions are
expected to be fundraisers. The skills and personal qualities necessary
to be a successful library administrator are the same skills needed to
be a successful fundraiser—a clear understanding of your university’s
priorities and the goals of your library; a strong belief in the value
of your library’s plans and programs; the ability to articulate your
vision for the library; enthusiasm; a readiness to engage people and be
interested in what they care about; the ability to listen; persistence;
an entrepreneurial spirit; and comfort with risk-taking.
The book’s primary goal is to assist library directors and those who
want to become library fundraisers to learn more about fundraising and
find answers to their questions. Successful Fundraising is a guide that
offers well developed case studies written by experienced professionals
who have embraced a variety of fundraising challenges, met with success,
and are willing to share their stories with others. An extensive
annotated bibliography of the last decades of literature on library
fundraising is also included.
