Yes, there are repairing center to help, but they can't help you when you get stranded on the middle of the road in an unknown area. It might be a very little issue but as you don't know anything about your car, you have to wait for several boring hours till help arises. Here are some of the basic car maintenance tips that you should know for your own safety.

Visitors and Residents: useful social media in librariesNed Potter
A keynote for the Interlend 2015 Conference. Blog post explaining these slides in more detail at: http://www.ned-potter.com/blog/visitors-and-residents-useful-social-media-in-libraries.
The Digital Natives myth is readily accepted but ultimately damaging. As students (and staff) come into our higher education system, to make blanket assumptions about their abilities with or understandings of technology based only on their date of birth is to do them a disservice.
An alternative way to explore peoples' use of the net is the Visitors and Residents model from Le Cornu and White (first brought to my attention by Donna Lanclos). I find this a proplerly useful way of thinking, which can help us as libraries provide geniunely useful social media for our users, whether they are in Visitor mode or Resident mode.
This presentation explores why the Digital Natives theory is a bust, introduces V&R, looks at the use of YouTube, Instagram, Twitter and Blogs by libraries, and provides links to more detailed papers on Digital Natives, Visitors and Residents, and other insightful viewpoints.
Extrait benchmark pratiques agiles dans les organisationsFrancois Salazar
Plus que jamais et les études le montrent, l'agilité est une nécessité pour créer les conditions d'une performance durable et de l'innovation dans un contexte mouvant et incertain.
Mais être agile ne se décrète pas, que ce soit à l'échelle de sa fonction, de son service ou de son organisation. Les exercices d'assouplissement sont à pratiquer au quotidien pour s'exercer et maintenir son agilité !
Ce benchmark de pratiques agiles dans les organisations est un guide pour vous inspirer et devenir plus agile, quelque soit votre fonction. Résolument pragmatique, il tire sa substance de l'expérience du terrain pour apporter des idées, conseils et éclairages afin de vous lancer en toute lucidité sur les chemins de l'agilité.
Cet ouvrage, rédigé par des consultants expérimentés sur le sujet, offre un regard holistique sur l'agilité, sa signification, ses origines, les bénéfices qu'elle apporte et ses limites. Il met en évidence les écueils de dissonances dans la mise en place de l'agilité, auxquels nous sommes exposés, tant les freins culturels sont nombreux.
Consultants aux profils complémentaires, nous avons investigué et synthétisé les pratiques existantes de 35 organisations complémentaires en termes de secteurs, tailles, localisation. 9 d'entre elles sont plus particulièrement détaillées au sein de "fiches entreprises agiles" qui explicitent l'agilité de ces organisations en termes de stratégie, d'organisation, de management, RH, communication, innovation et espaces de travail (Kiabi, Spotify, Décathlon, Poult, Syd Conseil, Sogilis, Clinique Pasteur, AS, Harley-Davidson).
Nos 8 "fiches pratiques agiles", quant à elles, décrivent la mise en oeuvre de l'agilité par ces organisations, qui se traduit en axes structurants : vision et culture, simplification, gouvernance, autonomie, leadership, gestion de projet, développement des carrières, recrutement.

The technologies and people we are designing experiences for are constantly changing, in most cases they are changing at a rate that is difficult keep up with. When we think about how our teams are structured and the design processes we use in light of this challenge, a new design problem (or problem space) emerges, one that requires us to focus inward. How do we structure our teams and processes to be resilient? What would happen if we looked at our teams and design process as IA’s, Designers, Researchers? What strategies would we put in place to help them be successful? This talk will look at challenges we face leading, supporting, or simply being a part of design teams creating experiences for user groups with changing technological needs.
A presentation from the #BLA15 Conference about introducting annual action plans and meetings at an academic library.
The library uses these reports to focus activity for the upcoming year, and build a stronger partnership between the library and each academic department. It's something both parties have found beneficial.
