Open everything, presentations and learning from failure at PLN
What’s new at the PALINET Leadership Network (PLN)?
One standing practice at this evolving resource is to keep improving existing articles–and, in some cases, to combine small discussions into larger articles.
Two major changes this week involve substantial additions to existing articles–in one case more than doubling the size of the article. There’s also a brand-new article that should expand over time.
- Learning from failure now includes excerpts from Daniel Chudnov’s column in the November/December 2008 Computers in Libraries and Jamie LaRue’s discussion on failing to bridge from use to support.
- Presentations now includes a new introduction on typical presentations, additional notes on effective presentations from Aaron Schmidt and Peter Bromberg, a longer discussion by Eric Schnell on Pecha Kucha and other notes on Pecha Kucha from libraryland.
- Leader’s guide to open everything provides a new overview for “open”–Open Access, Open Source and a whole range of other Opens. It’s a preliminary overview that should be expanded and link to other articles–maybe with your help? For now, it includes brief notes (and some links) on The Open Library, Open Content Alliance, Open Archives Initiative, OpenLibrarianship, OpenLibraries (which is about a whole different kind of libraries), OpenBook and Open data–but that’s just the beginning. Open the article to see what you can contribute or where you can suggest that we add content!
That’s this week’s post from PLN Highlights, your best way to keep informed on what’s new at the PALINET Leadership Network.
