 Page 6 | 6 The DOI is Coming The Internet is making information available to people at an unprecedented rate, but with this availability may not always come the reliability of location. If you look something up on the Internet today, it may not be there when you go back to it tomorrow. For information professionals, this can be frustrating. Although a card catalog doesn't exist to categorize electronic information, Davida Scharf explains how the DOI may be the next step in organizing the tons of data we now find at our fingertips.

 Page 12 | 12 Digital Preservation Looks Forward The methods for information creation, distribution and storage are ever changing. What are we to expect for the future?

 page 20 | 20 The Real-Time Enterprise As information capabilities expand, the possibility for a real-time enterprise heightens. With customers expecting information to be available 24/7, information professionals may be getting a glimpse of what the future holds for their industry.

 page 28 | 28 Communicating Competencies and Collaboration Though many information professionals are busy enough with the day-to-day operations of their facility, Lori Zipperer and Sara Tompson suggest adjunct teaching as a means through which they can directly affect the profession, while strengthening their own communication skills. Not only does teaching afford the opportunity to collaborate with colleagues, according to Tompson and Zipperer, but it can also open the door between the present and the future of the information profession. | |
 page 36 | 36 Library Practicum 101 For those who believe the library practicum serves as a method for locating cheap labor, think again. If it is ran in the appropriate fashion, a practicum can work to serve the mentor, the student and the school. This month a collaboration of mentors, students and collegiate faculty get together to explain the purpose and benefits realized in a practicum. Make sure you take notes! | |
