NON-PROFIT AND MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATIONS
Many non-profit organizations and member-driven associations have turned to The Organized Library for assistance. We have helped launch resource centers from “a few files in a closet”; we’ve evaluated and upgraded existing libraries that had been neglected or badly managed; we have redeveloped information centers to incorporate fast-moving changes in technology; and we have provided reassessments of information strategies to mesh with ever-changing priorities and goals.
Regardless of whether yours is a non-profit organization or an association, turning the information that is available on-site and online into usable knowledge is limited only by your culture, goals, budget – and copyright.
The Organized Library will:
- Centralize all information to align with your organization’s needs
- Create an interactive electronic catalog (inventory) of resources, accessible on your network so that staff and members can access the collection
- Set up an archive covering a history of the organization, the industry, the profession
- Devise a budget to maintain and manage the library well into the future
- Hire staff with knowledge of search tools, library capabilities, and mission
- Develop information services for staff and members
- Help facilitate the efficient use of on-line, digital, and Internet resources
- Develop strategies to reduce costs and streamline operations
- Create library marketing outreach activities
- Develop links with related groups
We can assist you in developing new strategies for your information center that will impact the entire organization.
