E-publishing, Blogging and Print-on-demandBadri Seshadri
Print-on-demand (POD) publishing allows authors to self-publish books in small quantities digitally without needing large print runs up front. POD works by printing books one at a time as orders are placed using digital printing technology. This allows authors to test market their books before pursuing traditional publishing or to self-publish their work. POD provides opportunities for both authors and publishers to get books to market faster and more cost effectively compared to traditional offset printing.
Self Publishing is the publication of an author's work without the help of any publishing house. The author takes full responsibility for the publishing process, and they print and sell it using either alone or with the help of self-publishing service providers. The author has the freedom to make independent decisions. The author will have complete control over the manuscript selection, processing, printing, marketing and distribution of the book. This presentation talks about the various approaches to the self-publishing of books.
This document summarizes self-publishing options for authors. It discusses traditional publishing versus self-publishing and some of the pros and cons of each. It then provides details on the self-publishing process including preparing the manuscript, acquiring an ISBN, publishing options like websites, blogs, libraries and commercial sites like Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing. It also discusses book promotion strategies and earnings potential from self-publishing on Amazon.
The document outlines plans for a $200,000 refurbishment of a school library to transform it into a learning commons with new furniture, shelving, signage, air conditioning, and a news lounge. It will support bring your own device access and digital citizenship training through a partnership with the local public library. The teacher-librarian is advocating for contemporary library spaces, professional membership, online access to ebooks and audiobooks, digital citizenship, and engaging local communities, associations, and politicians through advocacy on social media, blogging, and local media.
This document provides recipes and instructions for making 365 foreign dishes from different countries around the world, with 3 recipes provided for each day of the year. It begins with recipes for Austrian Goulasch, East India Fish, and English Gems for the first 3 days of January. The recipes continue in a similar format through the end of February, providing international cuisine options for every day.
This presentation is a crash course on practical data management. It is actually a portion of this talk (http://www.slideshare.net/kbriney/responsible-conduct-of-research-data-management) on data management and management plans, but I think the slides are useful enough to stand on their own.
The document summarizes the security environment facing the Department of Defence and Defence Forces from 2008-2010. It notes that while dissident republican paramilitaries continue to pose a low-level threat, the overall domestic security threat level is assessed as low. It also recognizes international terrorism as a potential threat but currently assessed as low as well. The document outlines the Defence Forces' ongoing role in providing security and aid to the civil power. It emphasizes the importance of ongoing risk assessment and planning for emergencies.

Techniques for an educative use of InternetRaúl Reinoso
This document discusses techniques for guiding students in educational internet searches. It recommends using structured strategies like webquests, miniquests and treasure hunts to help students focus their time searching for information online. Webquests involve dividing students into groups, giving them a motivating topic and specific tasks to complete through online research, like creating an essay or presentation. Miniquests are shorter webquests with only an introduction, tasks and summary. Treasure hunts provide students with questions and direct links to find the answers. These strategies help students have a more educative experience searching for information online rather than getting lost browsing aimlessly.

The secrets of the publishing industry and how you can get published in 4 weeksComplete Publishing
This document provides an overview of the self-publishing process from writing a book to marketing and sales. It discusses the traditional publishing route involving agents and publishers versus self-publishing independently or with assistance. Self-publishing allows full creative control but involves significant upfront costs of $5,000-$30,000 for services like editing, design, and formatting. Working with a publisher like Complete Publishing provides distribution to retailers and libraries globally while paying the author higher royalties of 75% without risk of unsold returns. The secret to successful self-publishing is to leverage the expertise of publishers to produce professional books without the difficulties or expenses of doing everything independently.
