...Digital Tools for Time Management Time management is the successful handling tasks and events for the purpose of getting what you need to complete in a given space of time. This important as being on time can really affect your future job and schooling due to missing important information. I personally have a fairly easy schedule compared to most but it is still quite full. For example, I get my Children ready for school, take them to school, I need to have time to study, time to do housework, pick up my Children from school, make dinner as well as go to school myself. Time management allows me to Manage the reasonability’s I have by using the time in the day to do everything I need to get done. The first digital tool that I have already started to use is an Excel schedule that we did in class to help me with planning out my day and also letting my family know what’s going on for the day. This is a digital spreadsheet where you can make, plan, and prioritize a schedule for each week. Using the Excel Schedule will Allow me to prepare for the week ahead and an easy tool to use to know what I need to be doing at any given time, so all I need to do check the schedule and proceed with the task I have set to do. I expect this tool will allow me to focus on what I need to do to get everything completed with the least amount of time wasted. The second digital tool that I have chosen to use is my phone’s alarm clock feature to alert me when I need to be changing tasks or getting ready...

...functions of every firm revolve around all these mentioned objectives. Accordingly the applications for the achievement of these objectives should be selected. Ans1. In this case the advanced features of Smartphone (including the common ones like browser, telephone, camera, music/video player) are discussed. These applications include the use of Smartphone as a Global Positioning Device, a secure system to connect to the database of a particular organization, using tools and applications to interpret the certain medical, theorems, and other results. The other applications include its use as a networking device to remain connected with friends and employees. It is also used as an efficient and fast e-mail sending / receiving device.

...Paul Getty Museum acquired The Entombment (ca. 1612) by Peter Paul Rubens in a Christie's sale in 1992. At that time, the provenance of the painting could only be traced as far back as the mid-19th century. The number 146, located on the face of the painting, appeared to be an inventory number (the Getty Research Institute, 2012). A search in the Provenance Index's Archival Inventories database retrieved a single record in which the artist name (Rubens) and item number (146) matched. The search lead to a 1651 inventory preserved in the Archivo de la Casa de Alba, Palacio de Liria in Madrid, which lists this Rubens painting. Possibly its first owner was Gaspar de Haro y Guzmán Carpio (1629–1687)”. Other Institutions are not as lucky some. Some Museums are not so fortunate to find the item number associated with the picture. When it is time to introduce the collections into a database, curators of small museums find themselves in a little bit of trouble. The features and capabilities offered by the newer commercial and professional collection systems are more than they will ever need, more than they can support and more than they can afford all together. Their own database management skills may not be up to par to address their problems effectively. Discussions of databases for small collections barely focus on building data systems. Database management tools that are successful in business may not be successful for a museum. Structures, internal controls, and strategies...

The company redesigned their process and developed a plan to include customer ideas to develop ways to reach customers utilizing a revised type of analytical strategy involving time, frequency, or occasion in one overall process a digital dashboard. This process is similar to data mining; both methods allow the researches to perform steps to obtain a sample size that will allow them to obtain the data needed to make a critical decision. The key is to make a very clear research process that will address the problem so everyone can follow until the next change to make the company valuable to consumers (Burke Video, n.d.). Hormazi, and Giles (2004) states that the main idea of utilizing data mining is to extract the most important data from the existing data and enable better decision making (p. 63). This is a critical step that is noticed in the Burke video as each participant is discussing how the company changed their data collecting method to create the digital dashboard. During the process of the Burke’s method and the Data Mining; both requires the collector to visualize the data so that there is a complete understanding of the data. Doing so helps spot something missed later on; overall, data mining is a process that utilizes clusters and segmentation to group the data. Utilizing the data mining method...

...Cyber Security: Physical and Digital Security Measures Abstract Due to the issues associated with cyber security and the appropriate application thereof, this paper will strive to address different cybersecurity measures that may be employed, both physically and digitally. It will identify what cyber security is, measures that may be taken, the tools needed to ensure implementation, and provide information regarding the different resources and programs necessary to work to effect greater success in the application thereof. Keywords: cyber security, physical security, digital security, security measures, definition, tools, resources Cyber Security: Physical and Digital Security Measures Introduction In spite of the increasingly prevalent use of technology in today’s digital world, many organizations find the concept of cyber security to be somewhat of a mystery. As a result of a lack of knowledge or an inability to appropriately apply that knowledge, companies like Target, Home Depot, and even Sony, among others, find themselves faced with security nightmares that could have just as easily been avoided (Yang & Jayakumar, 2014; Home Depot, 2014; Steinberg, 2014). In order to be able to approach cyber security properly, an organization must both have the knowledge necessary to implement a system designed to secure their digitized data and must have the ability to apply that knowledge within the constructs of their systems in order to ensure that a breach does not...

Performance Measurement and Metrics, 11(2), 211-222. Retrieved March 11, 2013, from the Emerald database. Abstract: User-based evaluation in archives and special collections is in its fancy, and this paper aims to discuss the conceptualization, development, and testing of Archival Metrics Toolkits. The development and adoption of standardized metrics to support the management of both analog and digital collections is a critical need in archives and manuscript collections. The Archival Metrics Toolkits were created, and comprised five user-based evaluation instruments for archives and special collections in colleges and universities such as researcher, archival web sites, online finding aids, student researchers, and teaching support. The Archival Metrics Toolkits, as developed, represent a first step toward standardized evaluation created specifically for archives. Now it is up to the community to adopt these tools and report their use. These are the first standardized questionnaires to target archives and special collections and take into consideration the unique environment of primary sources and the specific dynamics involved in connecting researches with archival and manuscript collections.
