OPEN SITE

I have decided to open the BookWatch site to all Learning-org Bulletin
readers for the period through to the end of October this year.

The site contains fully searchable listings of 250 recent (mostly since
1995) books related to the management of change. All books have a 50 word
review; most also have a detailed analytical review designed to highlight
what is useful in the book for practical managers. It also contains
introductory articles to some 20 topics including Leadership,
Organisational change, scenario and strategic planning and knowledge
management. Each of these articles contains links to the relevant
detailed reviews in the database. Each review article contains
cross-links to other reviews, so that it is possible to follow a thread
across several books.

The site also contains an article on Leaders and Leadership, which is the
first of what will be a series of articles that seek to identify major
themes and highlight issues and directions in recent management books -
again with links to each of the books referred to.

There is a page of links to other sites that are likely to be useful to
those concerned with managing organisational change, categorised by
subject area covered.

Access to all parts of the site other than the detailed reviews is open
and free to everyone. The detailed reviews are accessed by password. It
is this section - the core of the site - that I am now opening to LO
readers through to the end of October.

To enter, go to

http://webtrax.com.au/BB/lowelcome.bbd

This is a special page that contains the password for full access, links
to the rest of the site and a special offer to those who wish to subscribe
on a continuing basis.

I would particularly welcome suggestions for other sites to be added to
the page of links and other books that should be included on the site. I
also welcome feedback and alternative views of books on the site.
