LIS 158 Journal Entry #4: A Sad But Enlightening Realization

Anything can be marketed. I believe this is true. However, marketing is not always practical. I learned it when I presented my topic proposal in class. I tried to sell them the idea that academic archives should be marketed. Yeah, it was a nice idea but it really is not that important. Unlike libraries which has plenty of services and serves to many different kind of users, archives have more limited access and caters to specific group of people. 

So what now? I need to change my topic. Guess I won't be using marketing in my thesis anymore. Nonetheless, I'm still glad I took up LIS 158, I really believe that I will find the things have learned and will learn in this class useful when I will be working.
