"Library 2.0 Defined - The Social Library"
By Phil Green
Social Libraries are transforming the way we collect, manage and distribute knowledge and information assets.
Learn how social technologies are transforming libraries and enhancing collections, allowing both the librarian and researcher to contribute to the catalog in a controlled, secure environment. The creation of a SOPAC (Social Online Public Access Catalog) allows for secure two-way information exchanges. The result is enriched and improved content, that:
- Transforms the library from a cost center to productivity center
- Delivers greater return-on-investment from library and research assets
- Dramatically improves productivity and fosters collaboration

Be Ready:
Best Practices for Managing Critical Information Assets
More than ever, success for many organizations depends on quickly finding and acting on various kinds of research assets: those high-value internal and external information assets that professionals at all levels use to gain insights, plan, and execute. Yet even sizable organizations with otherwise sophisticated capabilities vary considerably in how, and how effectively, they manage their diverse research assets.
By working with hundreds of organizations, we’ve identified best practices for research asset management - a critical competency in today’s information-driven economy where nearly everyone is a “researcher” in some way.
In this white paper, we share seven themes for the effective management of research assets, and also explain how organizations that are implementing those best practices gauge their impact and calculate their benefits.

Enhance Your Career With a Clear Strategy
by Lynda Moulton
A good integrated library system helps you measure your organization's return on information investment, save time, and better serve your users. But effectively acquiring the benefits of an integrated library system requires a different set of skills than you may be used to utilizing. White paper author Lynda Moulton, formerly the Director of Integrated Library Systems at Inmagic and now an independent consultant, discusses her more than 20 years experience in helping special libraries acquire these systems. Let her counsel set you on a clear path to success.

Imaging Software Provides Access to Critical Mission Images Across NASA
Published August 1, 2007
"With every space shuttle mission, hundreds of individuals across NASA need to access extensive photographs, video footage, and other imaging assets in order to monitor launch results, review design decisions, and ensure mission safety. Additional video footage and still images shot on orbit enables NASA engineers to compare pre-flight and in-flight images in order to assess functionality and highlight areas that warrant further scrutiny. Until recently, only the Image Analysis Team (IAT) staff could view these baseline images, and sometimes with delays due to the complexity of accessing them."
