UK trust in the sector remains stable at 29% compared to last year, whereas the US has seen a sharp decline of 15 points to 17%.
With trust in the entertainment industry linked to an increased willingness to buy a company’s products, the differences between the two countries is further highlighted by consumers’ purchasing habits: 66% of consumers in the UK say they are spending the same or more on digital entertainment compared with last year, versus 56% in the US.
For the fourth year running, the Trust in the Entertainment Industry survey explores attitudes toward entertainment companies in the UK and US. It examines the impact trust has on behaviours such as purchase, recommendation, file downloading and sharing. Trust in the Entertainment Industry 2009 follows Edelman’s tenth Trust Barometer, published in January 2009, which ranks the entertainment industry as the fifth most trusted (50%), following technology, healthcare, food and biotech, among UK opinion formers aged 35-64. In the US, trust in the entertainment industry is ranked 3rd from the bottom (33%), sharing its position with the automotive industry and just topping insurance and media companies.

The document discusses higher education participation rates of students from migrant communities. It notes that while higher education systems are expanding globally, there remains an untapped pool of talent, as students from disadvantaged backgrounds like those with a migrant background face lower access and success rates. International student mobility is also increasing but higher education could do more to utilize all available human resources and reduce failure and dropout rates that disproportionately impact disadvantaged groups.
The document summarizes research from the Johns Hopkins Center for Civil Society Studies on the global scale and impact of the civil society sector. Some key findings include: 1) The civil society sector generates $1.9 trillion in output and employs 48.4 million people, making it a major global economic force. 2) There is great variation in the size of the civil society sector among different countries and regions. 3) Volunteer work provides a significant input, accounting for 38% of the civil society sector's workforce globally.

This document provides an overview of assessing and measuring volunteering. It discusses why volunteering assessment is important both economically and socially. It defines volunteering and outlines the scope and types of volunteering research, including data assembly, analytics, explanation, and evaluation. Specific frameworks and approaches to measuring volunteering are examined, such as the ILO Manual on volunteer work measurement and the Comparative Nonprofit Sector Project. Global statistics on volunteering rates, economic contributions, and impacts are presented. Future steps to strengthen volunteer measurement capacity and collaboration are proposed.
Volunteering is an enormous renewable resource for solving societal problems, but it lacks reliable data. Current methods of measuring volunteering are inconsistent and produce divergent results. The UN has called for establishing the economic value of volunteering through improved measurement. A new handbook provides a standardized approach for measuring volunteering through labor force surveys to facilitate comparisons and clarify volunteering's scale and role. Implementation is underway in Europe and could help mobilize volunteers and engage policymakers if expanded to more countries.

October Ivins has worked in various library and information science roles since 1985, including positions at UNC Chapel Hill Library, LSU Baton Rouge Library, and UT Austin. She has been involved with professional organizations like ALA, NASIG, and SSP since 1981. As an independent consultant since 2001, Ivins mentors others on career development topics such as getting the most out of conferences, choosing positions, supervisor and coworker issues, and professional associations. Her document provides advice on training opportunities, managing staff, getting referrals, and preparing for phone interviews.
Early in one's career, a formal mentor is not necessary as support can be found from observing mid-to-late career colleagues. Peer mentoring through collaboration with other managers, especially other women managers, can also be effective. As careers advance, having a women mentor becomes important as women face unique challenges in the workplace and mentors help other women navigate their careers. Without any mentor, one risks lacking career advice, feeling stagnant in their career progression, and experiencing periods of career confusion with no expert to provide guidance.
Adrian Stanley discussed his experience mentoring fellows through the SSP program. He explained that mentoring involves softer guidance to help mentees develop over the long term through balanced listening, directing, and connecting. Fellows benefit from the experience and connections of mentors, who can help open doors, share new perspectives, and make introductions to expand networks and opportunities in the industry. Feedback from fellows showed mentoring helped them learn from experience, feel more included and secure asking questions, and broaden their industry perspectives.
