Summary: Using e-mail, list serves, blogs, and e-zines, and much more
Review: Raising Funds With Friends Groups: A How-To-Do-It Manual For Librarians by Mark Y. Herring (Dean of Library Services, Winthrop University, Rock Hill, South Carolina) provides a very highly recommended survey and presentation of the basic tools and techniques required for librarians (especially of small and medium sized libraries) to transform their Friends Of The Library organizations into an effective and reliable economic support group. Some of the fundamentals covered include expanding membership rosters; using e-mail, list serves, blogs, and e-zines; and planning programs that will continue to bring public attention and financial support to the library. No college or university Library Sciences collection can be considered complete or up-to-date without the inclusion of Mark Herring's Raising Funds With Friends Groups!
