    Marriage: Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work [Megan Coulter] on Amazon.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Marriage - Seven Principles of Making Marriage Work Marriage is a long journey, which needs both partners to be committed 100%. There are so many things that we will need to experience in marriage on our own before we can get the understanding of marriage in reality. A lot of times we are told that arguments in marriages are bad. Sometimes the quarrels that take place are about trivial things such as where to put the laundry basket

  • “I think we’ll see what works and doesn’t work,” Mr. Stengel said in an interview by phone. “We’ll adapt and change. We’re in the hunt like everyone else to figure this out.”

      This is an action without a plan.

  • Yet libraries, the intellectual heart of universities, have become perhaps the most commercialized academic area within universities, with troubling implications for the future of higher education.
  • Through innocuous incremental stages, academic libraries have reached a point where they are now guided largely by the mores of commerce, not academe.
  • Over the last decade, however, as the number and cost of journals have soared, most libraries have decided to forgo purchasing hard copies. The shift from owning a journal to merely providing access to its digital incarnation has, of course, saved some money. But those savings come in tandem with detrimental changes both to the content of library collections and the ways those collections are used.

  • According to both the professional literature and information-vending companies' usability studies, a library's chief task is to meet the information needs of its patrons
  • For university libraries, retrieving what is known should be only the beginning. They are laboratories of the mind, unique places where questions that have never before been asked can be formulated and answered; they are centers of teaching where patrons can learn about the organization and the production of knowledge
  • or universities, the libraries' experience is a cautionary tale. Commercial practices, technologies, and innovations often seem to benefit and support the academic mission of universities. But commercial innovations are not value-free, and it has proven very difficult for libraries to embrace some components while rejecting others.

    Interesting, if a bit unbalanced, about the corruption of university libraries by commercial publishers and the pressure of "good enough" information in a Googlized world

  • in my view there is no need for a digital editor as such in a trade publishing house, rather an editor who understands the digital world:
  • it’s marketing that will have to continue to change the most to find new readers and new ways of reaching readers.
  • Writing that uses new media by incorporating visuals, sound, movies and so on in different delivery platforms such as the new Sony Reader, Alternate Reality Games mixing narrative and interaction by readers and contributors, self-published material, collaborative wikinovels and other kinds of informal, or extra-formal creativity, are exactly the kind of material that a traditional trade publishing house such as Pan Macmillan, however innovative, finds it very difficult to use, or even acknowledge, in a publishing process, and it’s unlikely to be seriously practical in the short term, which means until someone can think of a way to make money out of it, not least because digital projects are typically seen by customers and authors as free or very low-cost, when in fact they’re often more expensive than traditional ones because of the high set-up and development costs

  • two key issues: accuracy of conversion, which we set at 99.999999%, instead of some competitors’ 99.95%, and attending to the reader experience by providing accurate and appropriate metadata, which is one of the points I want to illustrate later on to show why I believe editors need new knowledge not new skills
  • What it needs to do instead is create a new post-publishing process, a sort of après-lit, which makes clever and effective use of reader involvement through websites and with social-networking tools, but that is familiar Web 2.0 material and outside the scope of this answer.
  • How much is digital going to change the way I work?’

    One editor's take what endures and what changes for publishers and editors in the digital world.

  • But converting image-heavy books into digital form has not been easy. Authors are careful to monitor how their work appears on a screen, and publishers have struggled to replicate the experience of reading a print book
  • The prices of e-books with pictures be generally in line with print prices.
  • Some publishers have also had success breaking into the digital space by turning books into applications for mobile devices
