Digitization 101: Call me maybe? (Business cards) To the right are a few of the business cards that I received at the New York Library Association <http://www.nyla.org/> Annual Conference. Five of them are from LIS students, while the one in at the bottom is from a seasoned practitioner. What stands out to me are two things. (BTW to prevent spamming, I have purposefully obscured their contact info.) First, we still value "the card". It remains the easiest and consistent way of transferring contact information from one person to another. Yes, I'm all for using QR codes and, in fact, two of these cards have QR codes on the other side. Yes, I'm all for capturing people's Twitter names rather than exchanging business cards. However, those two (and other) methods don't work for everyone. The card is still the thing. http://bit.ly/TpusiB Source: http://hurstassociates.blogspot.com/2012/11/call-me-maybe-business-cards.html See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/TpusiB+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
