Why you should always lead with a story, by Paul Smith

Why you should always lead with a story, by Paul Smith | The Information Professional | Scoop.it
From www.thoughtleadersllc.com - November 23, 2012 4:35 AM

"The thoughtLEADERS Blog covers leadership, communications, strategy and operations."

 

"Storytelling is the 'new' way of doing - selling, training, motivating.  Yet, while we in libraries deal in story and deeply understand the social imperative of story, are we using story in our professional practice?  To increase understanding of what good customer service is, for example, should we share those stories?  Would it help to motivate and make the change?  This 'story' is an example of how one might use such a method to begin the process.  Nice."

Digital Media Collections: Archivists Need To “Take Control” Back From IT — Digital Asset Management News

From digitalassetmanagementnews.org (via @caffeneko) - November 1, 2011 5:52 AM

RT @DAMNEWS: Digital Media Collections: Archivists Need To "Take Control" Back From IT - http://t.co/gnbqsSaJ...

"Joshua Ranger writing on the AudioVisual Preservation Solutions blog discusses how “Digital Media Collections Are an IT Problem But Not an IT Solution”.

The essence of Joshua’s post is that while archivists must collaborate with IT professionals to enable digital collections to be established, it is the archivists who should have primary control over core elements such as the development of metadata models and choice of formats based on the long-term preservation objectives of the organisation."
