Searching 2.0

http://tinyurl.com/Sauers 

1-hour Web Conference with Michael Sauers - $109.95

Trainer Michael Sauers applies the super-search strategies he is known for
to the latest generation of Web tools. Blogs, RSS, wikis, Flickr,
podcasting, mashups, the read/write Web, kartoo, BitTorrent, Google Book
Search, the WayBack Machine, visual search engines, folksonomies, Firefox
Search Plugins, Del.icio.us, and more. If you aren't intimately familiar
with these tools and how to fully exploit them in your daily reference work,
then this presentation is for you. Irreverent and fun, this presentation
will expose you to some of the more recent tools that make the most of the
Web 2.0 environment: from improving basic search skills and evaluating
search results to making the best use of search engines, both common and
cutting-edge.

Aspects of Negotiation - Part 5: Negotiation and Organizational Renewal

http://tinyurl.com/PGuise 

1-hour Audio Conference with Paul Guise - $ 85.00

Planning for organizational renewal is becoming increasingly important, with
many institutions negotiating their way through a wave of retirement and
recruiting. But any successful organizational renewal plan must negotiate,
both implicitly and explicitly, the needs and desires of both incoming and
outgoing staff (as well as those who are staying!). Impose a unilateral
plan, and you run the risk of endless cycles of recruiting due to limited
retention.
