Open source, leadership development and more: What’s new at PLN
What’s up at PALINET Leadership Network? Here’s this week’s post on PLN Highlights.
This week, new items at the PALINET Leadership Network are largely from the management literature (via Leader’s Digest) or bring together new material to flesh out other articles. For example:
- Searching notes hosts brief notes about searching in general–starting with team searching and Illumin8–and links to some longer articles.
- Ebook notes splits out notes on book-length digital text from notes on Kindle and other dedicated ebook readers.
- Qualities of successful leaders offers notes on qualities of leaders–not just what they do but who they are–and links to longer articles on related topics.
- Leadership development notes serves as a hub for articles on developing leaders and includes brief notes from management literature.
- Open source notes and resources enhances PLN’s cluster of articles on open source software by providing key definitions, linking to articles elsewhere, and offering links to key resources on open source in libraries.
These and other “notes” pages will continue to grow over time. We continue to look for ways to make these and other resources more suitable for your needs. Let us know how we’re doing, specifically in the Feedback and suggestions page and polls and more generally through Feedback pages for each topic.
Remember: PLN is free and open to anyone who is a library leader or thinks they’ll become one sooner or later–and “library leaders” include managers and directors, but also thought leaders, professional leaders and leaders of innovation.
There’s a wealth of material at PLN on aspects of leadership and many library-related topics. Take advantage of it–and add your own experience and thoughts to the network.
