15. New Models for Library Advancement
-
Vivian Lewis
Abstract
This paper, originally presented as a six minute and forty second PechaKucha at the IFLA World Library Congress in Wroclaw, Poland, proposes some new and constructive ways of thinking about fundraising for academic libraries. The approach demands three elements. First, the fundraising model requires framing fundraising not as the sole responsibility of the development officer but as an integrated, team-based activity involving a broadly defined advancement team with strong engagement from the senior leadership group. Second, the model necessitates a deep organisational commitment to establishing a laser-sharp set of fundraising priorities, rather than scattering a thin layer of efforts across a broad spectrum of unfiltered ideas. Finally, the approach demands a willingness and ability to frame priorities, not as modest requests but as Big Ideas to capture the attention and the hearts of potential donors. This article presents a reasoned and disciplined course for academic libraries to follow in the attempt to increase the success of their fundraising endeavours.
