The information sources material covers the main standards in digital information on modern computer systems. It includes the conversion of sound and images into a digital format. The networking material introduces the main local area network technologies: - Ethernet; - Token Ring; - FDDI. Modern Wide Area Network technologies like ATM are considered, also the usage of ISDN and Modems for interconnection.
For the past decade, e-mail has been the preferred method of internal communication in libraries. However, relying on email for organizational knowledge management seems a bit like storing birth certificates, car titles, and deeds in a pile of junk mail: the important documents are lost amongst other items of only minimal or fleeting importance. A successful intranet can provide a secure place for information exchange and storage; however, in order to be successful, a library intranet must be easy to use, have the functionality desired by its users, and be integrated into the daily workflows of all library staff. Accomplishing this can be challenging for web librarians. The book covers, among other topics, third-party hosting; the use of freely available blog and wiki software for internal staff communication; and developing library intranets in ColdFusion, Microsoft SharePoint, and the open source Drupal content management system (CMS). More importantly, the authors examine in detail the human factors, which, when not thoroughly addressed, are more often the cause for a failed intranet than the technology platform. This book was published as a special issue of the Journal of Web Librarianship.
Many computer networks are now a hybrid of different types, typically a mixture of two or more different operating systems. These systems must successfully integrate for the complete system to operate properly, whether it is in terms of its compatibility, its security or its ease-of-use. The main aim of this book is to cover the configuration, architecture and networking of the three of the most popular networking operating systems - Microsoft Windows, Novell NetWare and UNIX.
Why Intranets Fail (and How to Fix Them) is a practical guide to some of the common problems associated with Intranets, and solutions to those problems. The book takes a unique end-user perspective on the role of intranets within organisations. It explores how the needs of the end-user very often conflict with the needs of the organisation, creating a confusion of purpose that impedes the success of intranet. It sets out clearly why intranets cannot be thought of as merely internal Internets, and require their own management strategies and approaches. The book draws on a wide range of examples and analogies from a variety of contexts to set-out in a clear and concise way the issues at the heart of failing intranets. It presents step-by-step solutions with universal application. Each issue discussed is accompanied by short practical suggestions for improved intranet design and architecture. - Jargon-free and aimed at information professionals with sole/mixed responsibilities - Draws many examples from broader library management contexts - Clearly distinguishes between intranet and Internet technologies
