April 17, 2008 –ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) has introduced several major advances to its Digital Library, the vast online collection of more than two million pages of full-text articles from ACM publications as well as a bibliographic database of published computing literature that currently holds more than one million records. The new features include detailed Author Profile pages as well as citation and usage statistics that provide a snapshot of an individual author’s contributions to computing, and some measure of their influence in advancing the field. ACM also invites users to propose changes to personal information displayed on the Author Profile pages in the Digital Library (DL), which is open to the computing community for no charge with an ACM web account.
Anecdote is the leading business narrative services firm in Australia renowned for its work in knowledge management, collaboration, leadership development and facilitating complex change initiatives.
How do business narrative techniques work? They involve the process of collecting and listening to people’s stories in the workplace and using these stories to understand what is really happening. This process creates the conditions for people to develop the resolve to make a change and solve what seemed like intractable problems. Leaders can also learn to tell better stories to enhance their ability to communicate important values and beliefs fundamental to the organisation’s culture.
Description: The Author Profile Page initially collects all the professional information known about authors from the publications record as known by the ACM bibliographic database, the Guide. Coverage of ACM publications is comprehensive from the 1950's. Coverage of other publishers generally starts in the mid 1980's. The Author Profile Page supplies a quick snapshot of an author's contribution to the field and some rudimentary measures of influence upon it. Over time, the contents of the Author Profile page may expand at the direction of the community.

This page is part of the JISC Digital Repository Wiki. It is used to support the activities of a UK (JISC) working group which developed a Dublin Core Application Profile for describing scholarly works (eprints) held in institutional repositories. This work was undertaken within the JISC Digital Repositories programme and coordinated by Julie Allinson (UKOLN, University of Bath) and Andy Powell (Eduserv Foundation) during 2006. Community acceptance activities continue.
