Ease & Excellence
There are three realities in today's public libraries:
|
 |
Budget Cuts
|
|
|
Crushing Backlogs
|
|
|
Broad and Deep Patron Demand
|
The importance of this combination of circumstances is heightened by the changing role of libraries. Our institutions aren't simply repositories of knowledge. They don't merely house art and information, waiting for a need for it to arise. Today, libraries must provide all manner of entertainment, resources and current information. Their role in the community goes well beyond the printed word: it's both social and multimedia. Libraries, in order to function effectively in the age of cable television and the Internet must broaden their scope, deepen their resources and attract the public.
All these new roles must be filled by your library at the same time it is suffering budget cuts and an aging professional staff. Public support has been dramatically reduced and private help hasn't made up the difference. You are worried about the security of your employees just as you are concerned about the efficiency of your library.
Partner with Professionals
There is help. Partnering with Brodart brings you fully cataloged and processed materials at a much lower cost. Our production environment delivers millions of custom-cataloged and processed books every year. Precisely as requested. At a fraction of your local cost.
The importance of this resource is two-fold.
|
|
First, you stretch your available financial resources more fully, getting more for your money. We shepherd locally defined, carefully monitored, meticulously prepared circulation and reference materials. We partner with your collection, cataloging and physical processing teams to perform precisely the functions you perform today.
|
|
|
Second, you free up the people in your library to do the things that can only be done there: serve patrons directly. Our production environment cataloging and processing will deliver books far more cheaply than you can, locally. And the personnel you save from those chores can help the patrons actually in your building.
|
Ease & Excellence
To fulfill this new mandate, your library must manage a wide array of materials in a staggering number of formats. Partnering with Brodart makes this easy: we do it all the time. Our physical processing is varied and carefully controlled. Our cataloging and acquisitions will be specifically tailored to your community and your patrons.
So, teaming with Brodart changes everything. With Zen-like ease you can specify your needs from home, mastering a distant production facility and every bibliographic record that comes from it.
Precise specifications, detailed monitoring and expert processes make outsourced production of circulation-ready material the easiest, most cost-effective and, finally, excellent solution.
