Library Marketing Survey
In January 2008, the AAUP Marketing Committee conducted a survey of academic libraries to learn more about how various marketing tools are used by librarians in collection development. The committee is considering conducting a similar survey of public librarians.

Course Adoption Catalogs
Ideal for presses that hope to sell course books in a given discipline but may not have the resources to produce subject catalogs of their own, this service provides members with a cooperative entrée to the course adoption market. Twice a year, AAUP course adoption catalogs are produced and mailed to about 7,000 professors and instructors throughout the United States. Member presses may purchase space in any catalog for a flat fee per page.

Spring/Summer 2008 Catalogs are now online, in the subjects of American History, Anthropology and Folklore, Literature and Literary Criticism, Education, Multicultural Studies, Philosophy, and Political Science. Included are examination offers, adoption policies, and special discounts for Four-Year and Graduate faculty.

Please contact Rachel Weiss-Feldman, Marketing Manager, for more information.
