The library now has a subscription to over 5000 e-books from Safari Books Online, which is a recognized leader in providing technology how-to books. We opted for the most current package aka the Basic Tech Library package, so the titles and editions change regularly in the collection. Each book we subscribe to is listed in DiscoverE or you can browse the complete package online. (Note Safari has over 20,000 books online, so if you browse online you may run across titles we don’t own such as older titles or one of their subject-specific packages).

Project Management 2: Tracking Projects

By: Roger Whitson, Mellon Fellow, Digital Scholarship Commons

One of the most important aspects of project management is - no surprise here - tracking the progress of your project. If you have a complex project that includes many technical steps, you'll want to be able to have a formal system that tracks accomplishments, allows you to make adjustments along the way, and can help you set priorities. At DiSC, we are currently moving from one tool for tracking digital projects to another. In this post, I'll talk in detail about both projects, their benefits and problems.
