[Editors] MIT Editors' Club Minutes,
Nov. 2011</font></table>

<br>
*Meeting Notes from November 8, 2011*<br>
<br>
<br>
*A Big Hand to....Us!*<br>
<br>
This club now has 220 members from across the MIT campus. That's a lot
of people who are involved or interested in MIT communications. Go us!<br>
<br>
Further, FIVE of the ~13 Editors who attended this meeting are new to MIT
(their tenures as of the meeting ranged from one day to six months). Welcome.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Update: Communication Productions Services*<br>
<br>
Danyel Barnard is senior communications specialist with the new Communication
Productions Services. She joined us at this meeting to give us an update
on, in her words, "the artist formerly known as the Publishing Services
Bureau." (We already like ya, Danyel.)<br>
<br>
The CPS brings together Copy Tech, Reference Publications, and a new unit
called Communications Advising Services. This latter takes the place of
the PSB, which will formally close December 2. It will have three staff
in the following positions; you'll probably recognize some of these folks:<br>
<br>
Bara Blender, communications strategist; Emer Garland Scott, communications
coordinator; and Stephanie Hatch, social media/email marketing specialist.<br>
<br>
I won't go into detail about what each of these positions entails because
Danyel promises to send us a more formal communication about the overall
CPS sometime soon. Suffice it to say that, as I understood from this meeting,
Bara, Emer, and Stephanie will continue to help advise us on all communications
activities/projects UP UNTIL the awarding of a project to a vendor or freelancer.<br>
<br>
Bara, Emer, and Stephanie will live in E38----same office as the old PSB.<br>
<br>
Oh! Almost forgot: someone asked if the new organization would still host
cool communications webinars/seminars. Answer: yes.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Apps for Communicators*<br>
<br>
The latest issue of the MIT Libraries' newsletter included a short story
that caught my eye. "Apps for Academics" referred to a web site
where the Libraries recommend a variety of apps for smart phones that can
help one with productivity, writing, library research, note-taking, and
other activities that I realized could also be useful for communicators.
Go to the following link for the complete list: <http://libguides.mit.edu/apps>.
<br>
<br>
Heather Denny, communications director at the Libraries, was coincidentally
at this meeting, and mentioned that there is also an IAP course on this
topic. So watch for that, as well! (See the following for the 2011 IAP
announcement: <http://libguides.mit.edu/apps>)<br>
<br>
I immediately downloaded an app called JotNot Pro. For one buck, it turns
your smart phone into a document scanner! I put it into use at the MIT
Archives recently, and it really works, although I'm still figuring out
some of the details.....At any rate, I now have on my computer a printable
copy of a short MIT report from 1970 that I was interested in---and I didn't
have to take notes on the document, which saved lots of time.<br>
<br>
Also at this meeting, I asked Heather whether she could arrange for a workshop
for MIT Editors on the MIT Archives and How to Use Them. (The Archives
are part of the MIT Libraries.) She was enthusiastic, so watch for more
info in the coming year.<br>
<br>
<br>
*Next Meeting*<br>
<br>
Meetings of MIT Editors' Club are always from 12-1, but in different locations
around campus. The final meeting for 2011 will be:<br>
<br>
Monday, December 5<br>
66-360 (Chemical Engineering)<br>
<br>
Please let me know, if you haven't already, if you'd like to host a 2012
Editors' Club meeting in your building.<br>
<br>
<br>
Have a great Thanksgiving,<br>
<br>
