This document discusses the impact of Web 2.0 culture on libraries. It notes that the Internet allows anyone to publish content globally and interactively. Web 2.0 features like social media, tagging, and wikis are changing user expectations around speed, participation, and multi-directional thinking. This impacts libraries' communications, resource management, and fulfillment of Ranganathan's Five Laws of Library Science. Libraries must explore how to best connect users to resources using tools like tagging, blogs, and social media. They must also lead in areas like information literacy and adapting to new technologies to meet user needs in this changing environment.

The document discusses the harms of plastic bag usage and provides suggestions to reduce plastic consumption. It notes that less than 1% of plastic bags are recycled, they take up to 1000 years to degrade, and producing new bags is cheaper than recycling them. Plastic bags harm wildlife when ingested and pollute oceans. Alternatives suggested include bringing reusable cloth bags when shopping and using newspapers instead of plastic to wrap books. The document encourages readers to reduce their plastic use and spread awareness of the issue.

Communication Power and the Social IntranetGordon Ross
Presented at IntraTeam Event 2013 - Copenhagen - March 7, 2013
Power has been an underdeveloped concept in the rhetoric surrounding the use of many-to-many intranets. Expressions like "liberation" and "enhanced collaboration" and "freedom" are common in marketing, but is this really the case? How does power really work on the social intranet? Who is in control? What are the opportunities of this new model? What are the risks? Does the social intranet make employees more or less powerful? Using ideas developed by communications philosopher Manuel Castells, Gordon introduces how leaders and managers can understand network power inside of their organizations, and identify both opportunities and risks
Social Intranets - HR's Innovation Opportunity - XII Simposio internacional d...Gordon Ross
This document discusses social intranets and their benefits for HR. It defines a social intranet as an internal company website that incorporates social features like blogs, feeds, profiles and wikis to allow all employees to author and share content and easily connect. The document argues that HR should care about social intranets because engaged employees are more productive and innovative workplaces lead to measurable business results. It also argues that HR should lead the implementation of social intranets as they are well-positioned to foster employee engagement, identity, voice and community - all key factors that drive innovation.
What is a city? How is it organized? How do we make sense of the city? Join OpenRoad VP Gordon Ross as he covers some of the challenges faced in attempting to design information architectures for civic websites. Based on his research for the City of Vancouver's web redesign project, Gordon will share observations, conclusions, and IA design implications. In contemplating the task of civic IA, Gordon seeks to describe the limits of our abilities as designers to classify and categorize and invites IA's and designers to look for new methods and inspiration to reflect the richness and complexity of the real world in our designs. (*with apologies to Christopher Alexander)
This talk was given at the IA Institute's World IA Day 2012 in Vancouver, Canada. @WIAD_Vancouver / #WIAD
How to Stem Knowledge Loss, LegalIT Conference, Montreal April 2011Gordon Ross
The document discusses the problem of knowledge loss when experienced employees leave an organization. It notes that typical knowledge retention processes are insufficient, capturing only a small fraction of what employees know and ignoring important social relationships. The document proposes that social intranet software can help address these issues by providing multiple ways to search and navigate previously captured content, enabling easier user-generated content creation and feedback, and giving social context to content and better visibility of employee relationships. This social intranet approach aims to more fully capture both technical and organizational knowledge as it exists in natural work flows and social networks.
