FUMSI Magazine: 49
11th January 2012
In this issue: finding details about non-profit organisations; using social media for emergency services' communication; the debate about the future of the information profession; and frictionless sharing on Facebook.
FIND: If you need to research the non-profit sector then the GuideStar websites are great places to start. Covering the US, UK, Belgium, Israel and India, these websites provide information about the sector's organisations with some details available for free, more once you are registered, and yet more if you subscribe.
USE: The emergency services are finding new ways of communicating with the public through social media. Martha Murphy shows how Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Flickr, blogs and podcasts have opened up new ways of information dissemination for fire and related groups in Canada.
MANAGE: If you are concerned about why, in an information age, information professionals are largely marginalised, then Mark Field's article will give you food for thought as he debates how info pros must work together to keep the profession relevant and appreciated in the 21st Century.
SHARE: End users of Facebook may well be divided in their opinion of the introduction of frictionless sharing, but Martin Belam's article will forewarn you about its effect on metadata, audit trails and content publishing, so that you can be forearmed.
