               activity to help libraries understand,
               assess and respond to the unique and
               changing needs of their community. ALA
               Midwinter attendees will get a sneak
               preview of this new innovative
               technology that will be available to
               libraries later this year.




     Why:                             Gale Engage
               was created to
                                       help public libraries succeed by
                                       improving their ability to understand
                                       patron lifecycles and keep satisfaction
                                       high with personalized engagement.
                                       Library system data is used to develop
                                       tags, enabling library staff to segment
                                       audiences and target email
                                       communications, driving more meaningful
                                       and effective interactions. The
                                       dashboard provides key collection and
                                       patron engagement metrics, helping
                                       libraries measure their effectiveness.
