After the tour, Trudi Bellardo Hahn discussed the networking and professional advantages of joining ASIST. The main event was a two-hour Socratic discussion based on The Pew Research Center’s Report “How Young People View Their Lives, Futures and Politics A PORTRAIT OF “GENERATION NEXT.” Roberta Shaffer, Executive Director of FLICC/FEDLINK, led the discussion.  Her research interests include generational use of information and information technologies, management, leadership, strategic planning, competencies, and users and information use.  Without PowerPoint or other technology, Roberta engaged the audience with research findings from the PEW report on how different generations learn, interact, and do commerce differently. The discussion became lively when baby-boomer members of the audience voiced their frustrations of the constant need to reward millennials. Roberta was able to lead a discussion for 1.5 hours and take questions for forty minutes. http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/A2A2FC27-659C-4F12-AD02-A4A39521C862.html http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/A2A2FC27-659C-4F12-AD02-A4A39521C862.html Thu, 12 Nov 2009 00:00:00 -0500 <a href="http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/A2A2FC27-659C-4F12-AD02-A4A39521C862_files/01%20Jan.mp3"><img src="http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Images/DSCN0683.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:150px; height:150px;"/></a>Description: Traditionally, data analysis has required extensive expertise in math and statistics combined with training in complex software applications like SAS, Matlab, and the R programming langua 00:17:57 Description: Traditionally, data analysis has required extensive expertise in math and statistics combined with training in complex software applications like SAS, Matlab, and the R programming langua Description: Traditionally, data analysis has required extensive expertise in math and statistics combined with training in complex software applications like SAS, Matlab, and the R programming language. Recently, however, new technologies and services have emerged that make it possible to work with raw data using web applications with simple visual interfaces. These visually compelling tools allow researchers to quickly see and communicate relationships between diverse trends, like the correlation between weather and burglary. This session will include a brief review of the visualizations built into traditional statistical software packages like R and Matlab followed by a demonstration of three new web-based tools applied to three real research topics. The session will conclude with a panel discussion with Richard Landry, CEO of Conquest Systems, a pioneer in creating readily usable data libraries. http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/E6786C23-3AEB-4079-AF8E-C63D374E70CC.html http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/E6786C23-3AEB-4079-AF8E-C63D374E70CC.html Thu, 15 Jan 2009 00:00:00 -0500 <a href="http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/E6786C23-3AEB-4079-AF8E-C63D374E70CC_files/Symposium%20on%20Info-part-one.mp3"><img src="http://web.mac.com/jprater/iWeb/Site/Podcast/Images/DSCN1211_2.jpg" style="float:left; padding-right:10px; padding-bottom:10px; width:150px; height:150px;"/></a>Panelists discussed the complex issue of information policy in the new administration and what challenges the new PETOUS faces ahead.
