Paper Abstract. Accepted.

April 14, 2009 at 9:37 am · Filed under SIGUCCS

My paper abstract was accepted.  Now I have to actually write the entire paper.  Hopefully I can spend a few minutes each day on it rather than saving it all till the last possible moment.

SIGUCCS 2009 abstract

March 2, 2009 at 7:47 pm · Filed under SIGUCCS, contemporary learning

Here is the promised paper abstract that I finally finished last night in time for the March 1 deadline.  Of course, after I submitted it, the deadline was extended to April 1, 2009.  Not my idea of an April Fool’s joke.  Maybe I can get a second paper in?

Facebook TOS

February 18, 2009 at 10:28 am · Filed under social networking

Well, we almost had one more Google on the interwebz.  Facebook recently changed their TOS to own your pictures, thoughts, souls, etc.  Here are the lines to be scared of:

You may remove your User Content from the Site at any time. If you choose to remove your User Content, the license granted above will automatically expire, however you acknowledge that the Company may retain archived copies of your User Content.   

It appears that Facebook has gone back, changed their stance and returned to the previous TOS. See also:  http://www.chicagobreakingnews.com/2009/02/facebook-backs-down-on-terms-of-service.html

Taming the Print Beast webinar followup

February 12, 2009 at 4:26 pm · Filed under webinar

Some thoughts on the Taming the Print Beast Webinar:

• Audit of all print publications.  Not sure if we are engaged in this practice, but I see a good number of print pieces come through my physical mailbox that could have been sent via email.
• The Print Conversion project that UofF undertook moved hundreds of print publications to either the Web or some other form of Electronic materials.
• Their project cut back on the number of external printers that they used  and increased the customer service.
• UofF does NOT have an on-campus printing facility for print publications
• They used both unrealistic timelines and goals to challenge their school to move in this direction.
