Living Large in Lean Times

An article I wrote just came up on the web: Living Large in Lean Times. (Searcher, March 2009) The intended audience is info pros, and I focused on how to act strategically when faced with a tough economy. The headings say it all:

• Take the 5-Year View
• False Economy
• Short-Term Fixes Versus Long-Term Payoffs
• Make Yourself Recession-Proof
• Living Large on Your Own (for the info-entrepreneurs among us)

Another Wikipedia tool

One of the challenges of using Wikipedia is that your topic may be mentioned in a number of articles, and Wikipedia's interface doesn't make it easy to jump from one article to another. Wikipedia Roll is one more tool for enabling readers to explore the full range of a concept in Wikipedia. It's intuitive and easy to use, once you get used to the elephant that periodically runs across the screen.
