Scoop: KiwiSaver - Questions and answers - 0 views

  • The diverted amount will be capped at no more than half
    the standard KiwiSaver contribution (so 2% [i.e. half of 4%]
    or 4% [i.e. half of 8%]). Key points to note include:
    o
    Any employer contributions will not be diverted (so are
    saved).
    o The diverted portion will be set at a fixed
    dollar amount, which may be periodically reset to reflect
    wage/salary increases or to bring the diverted portion up to
    the maximum allowable limit (allowing faster mortgage
    repayments).

Connections 61 - Competing in a Google world - 0 views

  • 'I do not use it (the library) … it is a good place for research but I think the Internet is better and faster.'

      What does Softlink provide in this respect?


  • In New Zealand, all schools currently have free access to 19 online databases. It is a fabulous resource but anecdotal feedback suggests the databases are underutilised and underpromoted within schools. Federated searching can provide one interface and delivery point. This solution alleviates the immediate need - not only for students, but also for library staff - to understand and remember the details of each database.

      Can Softlink provide federated searching of the EPIC databases?
  • It's about adapting to the user

    We have entered a period where there are many opportunities for product vendors and library staff to explore and enhance the delivery of library resources. If we regard the likes of Google as the competition, I fear we are missing the point and we'll also lose the battle. The challenge is to use what we know we do best, learn from our users, market ourselves and join in the action.

Mozilla Thunderbird vs. Microsoft Outlook - 0 views

      Why we use Thunderbird instead of Outlook at ASHS.
  • Along the same lines as what I said last month about Internet Explorer vs. Firefox, I am convinced I’m safer using pretty much any email client other than Microsoft’s Outlook. Outlook is simply not as secure as its competitors.
