Do Open Academic Libraries Need Academic Librarians I started the day by doing a quick dive into an open course on education futures. Open courses are nothing new. MIT began offering them some time ago, and a number of institutions have followed suit. This one caught my attention because it was being offered by two education gurus in a totally independent setting. What about an open academic library? The actions of the students sends a powerful message to the campus administrators. The open academic library at CSU, LA is more about, as one student is quoted in the article, “resistance” to an administrative decision to close early.
Top 5 Social Media Myths Debunked As with any new technology, social media has spawned its share of misconceptions and myths that keep people from interacting. It’s time to debunk the big myths that are keeping business owners and marketers on the social media sidelines. Myth #1: My Customers Aren’t on Social Media Wow, if I had a dollar for every time I heard this one…. Seriously, this myth keeps more businesspeople from interacting with potential customers through social media than any of the others. The fun part is all you need is a little data to convince people that their target customers are indeed on social networks. For instance, 80% of female Internet users have become fans of a product or brand on a social network site and 72% said they learned about a new product through social media. Social networking is a true cultural phenomenon, and there is no demographic that isn’t represented substantially on one or more sites. Myth #2: I Can’t Measure the Impact of Social Media on My Business

Faculty Burnout Has Both External and Internal Sources, Scholar Says - Faculty By Audrey Williams June Washington Janie Crosmer, who recently earned a Ph.D. in health management at Texas Woman's University, wanted to know more about what causes faculty burnout. So as part of her dissertation, she studied 411 full-time professors nationwide to find out. About half were tenured, 63 percent were female, and the average age of the respondents was 50. Ms. Q. A.

Sutton | 10:00 AM June 9, 2010 Recently, I posted a list of 12 Things Good Bosses Believe. One of my favorite CEO’s of all time is A.G. But perhaps the thing I admire most about A.G. is that, in contrast to so many other CEOs (and management gurus and authors) he doesn’t pretend for a second that he discovered a new way to manage, or that his success resulted from any mysterious and complicated methods. Cries for the reinvention of management and claims that we have to discard old models are made by every generation of gurus. To this point, some years back when Jeff Pfeffer and I were writing our book on evidence-based management, I wrote Stanford’s James March (arguably the most respected living organizational theorist) to ask him for examples of truly breakthrough ideas. Unfortunately, the formula seems to be easier to state than to put into action. Robert Sutton is Professor of Management Science and Engineering at Stanford University.
Managing Yourself: Turn the Job You Have into the Job You Want A 30-year-old midlevel manager—let’s call her Fatima—is struggling at work, but you wouldn’t know it from outward appearances. A star member of her team in the marketing division of a large multinational foods company, Fatima consistently hits her benchmarks and goals. She invests long hours and has built relationships with colleagues that she deeply values. But outside the office, Fatima (who asked not to be identified by her real name) would admit that she feels stagnant in her job, trapped by the tension between day-to-day demands and what she really wants to be doing: exploring how the company can use social media in its marketing efforts. Sound familiar? If you’re in this situation, and changing roles or companies is unrealistic given the tough economy, what can you do? This exercise involves assessing and then altering one or more of the following core aspects of work. Tasks. Relationships. You can change the nature or extent of your interactions with other people. Perceptions.

How (and Why) to Stop Multitasking - Peter Bregman During a conference call with the executive committee of a nonprofit board on which I sit, I decided to send an email to a client. I know, I know. You’d think I’d have learned. Last week I wrote about the dangers of using a cell phone while driving. Multitasking is dangerous. But when I sent that email, I wasn’t in a car. Well, I sent the client the message. I swear I wasn’t smoking anything. Doing several things at once is a trick we play on ourselves, thinking we’re getting more done. You might think you’re different, that you’ve done it so much you’ve become good at it. But you’d be wrong. I decided to do an experiment. For the most part, I succeeded. During the week I discovered six things: First, it was delightful. Second, I made significant progress on challenging projects, the kind that — like writing or strategizing — require thought and persistence. Third, my stress dropped dramatically. Fourth, I lost all patience for things I felt were not a good use of my time.
How Political Campaigns Are Using Social Media for Real Results The Real Results series is supported by Gist, an online service that helps you build stronger relationships. By connecting your inbox to the web, you get business-critical information about key people and companies. See how it works here. Just as social media has opened a dialogue between businesses and consumers, its value is apparent to those in political office, whose work and very professional survival hinges on the needs and perceptions of their constituents. But when was the last time a local politician garnered the same social media buzz as a hip startup, or a savvy online retailer? As it stands, the social web is ripe with opportunities for candidates and office holders alike to connect with voters, foster transparency, and even spar with opponents in the same ways they have been in the traditional media for hundreds of years. Transparency and Credibility Spin and misinterpretation can cloud a political message as it passes from candidate, to spokesperson, to media, to public.
