Marketing electronic resources to the users of community college
libraries is a challenge because of their student populations. Some of the

their value as research tools. This situation demands assessment,
creative action, and on-going marketing efforts. This chapter presents
some practical solutions to this challenge that were undertaken at two
large community colleges in New
Jersey. doi:10.1300/J123v53n03_05
