The Complete Idiot's Guide to College Survival

Ebook Download | The Complete Idiot's Guide to College Survival | I think this book gives it's readers just about everything they need to know about being a college student. It does so in an easy to read and engaging way. It is practical rather than theoretical and very easy to read and gives both the "how-to" and "why's".
College represents a huge time of transition and transformation that few parents and students are prepared for. After working on campus in Student Life for many years I have seen how difficult this transition is first-hand. College is not all fun and games ... it is an incredible adventure, but a journey that each person needs to prepare themselves for in any and every way that they can. The Complete Idiot's Guide to College Survival gives us some great real-life advice on "how to do this thing called college.

CIO Survival Guide: The Roles and Responsibilities of the ChiefInformation Officer

Ebook Download | CIO Survival Guide: The Roles and Responsibilities of the Chief Information Officer | I have a single quibble with this outstanding book, and that is the title, "CIO Survival Guide", implies a reactive approach, while the book is totally focused on a proactive approach that will assure the success of any CIO who follows Schubert's excellent advice. From the first pages, where the new CIO is given ten key questions to ask the CEO to establish his of her role with clarity, to the steps to build a functioning IT organization that is aligned to business imperatives, this book is on target every step of the way.

This is the best book I've read on the roles and responsibilities of a CIO. Too many books on this subject are more about small-to-medium businesses and focus too much on managing technology instead of managing to shareholder value and business operation support. I strongly recommend this book as a primary reference, and also recommend "CIO Wisdom: Best Practices from Silicon Valley" (ISBN 0131411152), which is a collection of articles by successful CIOs that nicely augment this book.
