Academic libraries exist to serve the needs of their community, and hence customer service is essential. However, the term can be applied in a variety of ways, from a thin veneer of politeness, to an all-encompassing ethic focusing organizational and individual attention on understanding and meeting the needs of the customer.The book begins by defining customer service and related terms, then looks at building relationships, meeting customer needs, and marketing and communication. Remaining chapters concern developing people, measuring impact, maintaining quality, and a series of case studies giving practical examples from professionals.Discusses customer service in a library settingTranslates management theory into useful practice informationExamines building relationships, meeting customer needs, and marketing and communicationProvides examples of practical experience grounded in recent, transferable experience"
