Relationship Management as a Successful Approach to Public Relations in Public Libraries: a case study by Susan Rhood
The Political Librarian; v.4 iss.2 article 1
“Million and Bossaller seek to address gaps in the research on political activity and lobbying of state library associations. Their findings provide a compelling if somewhat unsettling picture of challenges faced by state library associations as they seek to influence often uninformed policy makers. Million and Bossaller’s argument that state associations need to move from re-active to pro-active lobbying strategies is a compelling one” – EveryLibrary Institute
