The October/November issue of the Bulletin of the American Society for Information Science and Technology (http://www.asist.org/bulletin.html) has a special section of articles contributed by AIIP members, including myself. The articles address the topic of bringing value to client projects in a range of areas. I collaborated with Scott Brown on Social Media: Essential for Research, Marketing and Branding (http://www.asist.org/Bulletin/Oct-10/OctNov10_Blakeman_Brown.html). A PDF of the whole edition is available at http://www.asist.org/Bulletin/Oct-10/Bulletin_OctNov10_Final.pdf
The individual articles are:
