IHEC Blog is Going on Vacation but will be Thinking...

Due to the holiday season here in the U.S. I am taking some time off of work, dissertation and IHEC Blog and related activities to spend time with family up in Milwaukee and then back home in Chicago.  I will return to IHEC Blog on or around Monday, January 3, 2011.


One project I have in the works (and will be thinking about much during break) is better ways to make my electronic resources at Bury Book International Education Library & Archive more organized and searchable for my research efforts, more accessible to collaborators and more environmentally friendly (see yesterday's IHEC Blog post about WWF formatting).  To that end, I have set up an account with Box and am in the early stages of learning how to better connect and share new international education research citations and abstracts and related literature with my colleague @IDPDRIE as well as a few others.  More on this I imagine in a future post...

International Higher Education Consulting and Bury Book International Education Library & Archive are Greener and will now "Save as WWF"

International Higher Education Consulting and all of my side activities such as Bury Book International Education Library & Archive are going green and will now "Save as WWF"!  Actually, I've always been as Green as possible. Moving forward from today, all documents that I would typically save and distribute in PDF format will be saved in WWF format!  What is WWF format?  Simply put, the WWF format is similar to a PDF but it cannot be printed!  You can save documents (including websites and e-mail messages) in WWF format.  As time permits, I will also begin to reformat current Bury Book resources that are in PDF and Word formats into the new WWF format.  This, however, will take a bit of time...

I encourage all international education organizations, programs, professionals, students and others to make the switch to "Save as WWF" and at the very least to "Think Before You Print".  Learn more about WWF format at http://www.saveaswwf.com/en/.

Many thanks to Weidong Zhang (@Ahjim on Twitter) for posting about this to Twitter as this is where I first learned of WWF format!
