Abstract
As the amount of real time access information grows exponentially, and vendors increasingly target end users, libraries face an increasingly difficult task to remain a central part of the information loop. Through branding services with library logos and common elements, libraries can maintain a continuing role in the process and further develop and enhance the partnerships, which exist between libraries and external partners. The use of portals as “sticky web sites” encourages libraries to be seen as a one-stop shop for information access. To remain at the forefront, libraries also must pay more attention to marketing principles.
