<b>MIT EDITORS' CLUB<br>
<br>
*Meeting Notes from October 11, 2013*</b>
<div><b><br>
</b></div>
<div><b>*Welcome.mit*</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Joan Marshall, communications manager for Human Resources, told us about a new web site for new MIT employees that I think could also be of interest to anyone (for example, ever the bargain hunter, I immediately clicked on "perks"). Among other things,
the site leads a new employee through an automated checklist of things to do over your first days, months, and year at MIT. I personally love the little grey "info boxes" sprinkled throughout the site---one example, which you can access by clicking on the
Before you Start section, tackles MIT Jargon. Useful!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Almost forgot: if you have any suggestions for the site, feel free to send Joan a note at <span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: courier; font-size: 17px; line-height: 22px; white-space: pre; "><a href="mailto:jlmarsh@MIT.EDU" style="text-decoration: none; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); ">jlmarsh@MIT.EDU</a></span></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>*Google Analytics*</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Of potential interest to many of you: a free course from google on Digital Analytics Fundamentals. Here's the description: "This three-week course provides a foundation for marketers and analysts seeking to understand the core principles of digital analytics
and to improve business performance through better digital measurement."</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Although the course started a few weeks ago, you can jump in whenever you want because it's on the web at <<a href="https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/preview">https://analyticsacademy.withgoogle.com/preview</a>>. (All of the lessons are available
there; I believe the only thing that isn't available once the course "ends" is a course forum for participants.) BTW, I learned of the course through the social media group on MIT Yammer, which I personally think is a pretty nice resource. (Go to the following
url to join MIT Yammer: <<a href="https://www.yammer.com/mit.edu/#/Threads/index?type=following">https://www.yammer.com/mit.edu/#/Threads/index?type=following</a>>. Two groups of special interest to Editors: MIT Social Media, and Communicators/Writers/Editors.)</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div><b>*Fair Use and Copyright*</b></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Ellen Duranceau, Program Manager for Scholarly Publishing and Licensing at the MIT Libraries, recently talked about copyright law and much more at a riveting meeting of the Social Media Working Group (chaired by our own Stephanie Hatch). Ellen is a wonderful
resource on this topic, and is happy to answer any questions that members of Editors' Club might have on this topic. She can be reached at: </div>
