Since successful library fundraising has always been about outreach,

at the University of Pennsylvania, had in mind when they developed this guide to 
wired fundraising.
The CD-ROM (Windows and Macintosh OS) 
companion takes development officers from libraries of all types through 
the technological terrain of online fundraising. 
Using in-depth examples, Library Fundraising and Friend-Raising on the Web 
demonstrates the many ways a library can use the Internet to communicate 
its goals and accomplishments to both the community and prospective donors. 
In an easy-to-follow format, these award-winning Web masters 
offer readers the simple secret of adapting their tried-and-true donor recognition 
and special exhibits to a Web environment.
They also provide tips from the new frontier on the fundamentals of e-commerce, 
which is just taking off in the commercial world and promises a potential boon for
attracting small contributions that are sure to add up.
Library Fundraising and Friend-Raising on the Web also includes a rundown on
learning HTML basics as well as the best resources for learning more.
For fundraisers building toward a bright future, there may be no better gift.
