Tech Resource Roundup

At the same time, we've been thinking about starting a book club here at NTEN and I wondered what good old fashioned books folks were reading about social media.

The NTEN Library: Book Resources on IT Leadership
Here’s a roundup of some useful books on managing and leading your organization’s technology.
Managing Nonprofits.org: Dynamic Management for the Digital Age
Ben Hecht and Rey Ramsey
The digital age has dramatically changed the way we all do business—from the tasks we do everyday, to the pace at which we must adapt and embrace change. Managing Nonprofits.org focuses on adapting leadership styles and management decisions to this new reality. Each chapter highlights a case study to offer context and real world examples.

Michael Cortes and Kevin Rafter have collected research papers on topics ranging from technology infrastructure to the use of online advocacy in order to explore how technology helps, and hinders, nonprofit effectiveness. This work is a welcome addition to the relatively new field nonprofit technology, as hard data is hard to find.
