Choose the content of your virtual library wisely. The difference between a website and a virtual library is the quality of the content chosen for inclusion. Expanding your library outside of the traditional library building is the key to holding on to existing patrons and making new ones. Make sure that the sources chosen for inclusion in your virtual library are of the same quality you would give to your patrons in person.
Practice good design techniques when implementing your virtual library layout. Good virtual library design techniques include a simple layout, familiar fonts and color schemes and self-explanatory pages. Keep in mind as you create this site that your users will be accessing the virtual library from remote locations. If they have a problem or do not understand something immediately, you will not be around to answer their questions. If your site is too complicated or confusing, users will go elsewhere to find the information they are seeking.
Offer as many online resources as possible, such as 'IM a librarian,' chat with a librarian and email reference consultations; online library card registration, online newsletters/blogs, links to community resources, reference tools such as pathfinders and comment forms and surveys.
Evaluate and improve your virtual library site. Do so often because the Internet is constant evolving. Keeping your users satisfied means keeping yourself updated on the latest Internet trends and incorporating them into your virtual library site as appropriate.
Invite users to visit your library in person. Make sure your hours and services are posted and highly visible. Hopefully you will find yourself with a few new patrons in the process.

How to Manage a Clothing StoreIn Feburary 2016 22,
In Feburary 2016 22,
Decide what kind of clothes you want to sell in your boutique. Of course, managers make this decision with owners. Having a marketing or fashion merchandising education is very beneficial to clothing store managers, since market research determines the kind of clothes your store is most likely to sell.
Set the prices for your merchandise. Again, owners will participate in this decision. Clothing store managers must take factors like mark-ups, pricing margins, strategic pricing techniques and discounts into account when they price the clothes and accessories in their stores.
Hire and manage staff. Usually, hiring and day-to-day management of employees are the sole responsibility of the managers. A clothing store manager must become well versed in interview techniques, performance evaluation, effective scheduling, conflict resolution and basic employment law.
Prevent theft and merchandise loss. In addition to employing theft-prevention methods like electronic tags and store surveillance, clothing store managers must take measures to prevent damage to the store's merchandise.
Sell clothes. Clothing store managers must participate in the store's advertising and marketing strategies, which sometimes involves creating advertising campaigns, hosting after-hours events in the stores and initiating loyalty programs for the customers.
Keep track of and account for the daily sales. Accounting methods vary from store to store, but managers are usually responsible for keeping careful track of inventory, sales and daily percentages.
