The Digital Revolution in HIgher Education
As its title implies, this book provides an optimistic vision through a series of thoughtful, if not a provocative collection of writings from those closest to the system.

Seven Trends that Will Transform Local Government Through Technology
This book lays out an impressive, well-articulated set of trends that have affected or will soon affect local governments throughout the nation through technology. Amazingly, as Dr. Shark points out, all of this massive change has occurred within the past 12 years. While technology trends continue to play out in the local government realm, public managers, mainly city and county managers and assistant city and county managers, have experienced quite a number of challenges in navigating the brave new world. Dr. Shark chose local governments as the primary focus because their jurisdictions are where most innovation and experimentation takes place. Despite its focus, this book should be especially helpful to state governments, and perhaps federal agencies, trying to better understand the challenges local governments face. The Seven Trends that will Transform Local Government through Technology is a must-read for all public managers who are seeking answers about how all the pieces fit together and, as importantly, why. No other book on this subject lays it out as convincingly as this one.
CIO Leadership for Public Safety Communications
This a must-read for all managers seeking to better understand the latest trends and practices in the public technology field and how the issue of governance and technology leadership can best be addressed. Do not be fooled by the term “CIO Leadership” in the book's title, as this book is as much about public safety communication leadership as it is about technology and the evolving nature of governance. Technology, regardless of its sophistication, is nothing more than a set of tools requiring some form of leadership to take advantage of what it does and how it can be best used. Someone, however qualified and regardless of rank and title in the public safety organization or government s...
Smarter Cities for a Bright Sustainable Future
Ancient Rome and Athens were once considered by every indication, great cities! European cities have endured a number of long wars that nearly destroyed them permanently. In the U.S., the City of San Francisco was nearly wiped out by the earthquake of 1906 and in 1871 the City of Chicago was nearly destroyed by fire. In nearly every case, these major cities were able to recover, rebuild, transform, making them stronger and more resilient. Today the so-called "smart cities" movement is based in part on the confluence of new technologies, economic growth, a re-evaluation of quality of life factors, as well as the resurgence of interest in cities across the globe. For example, only recently hav...
CIO Leadership for Cities and Counties - Emerging Trends and Practices
This is the updated, second edition where 85 percent of content is completely revised or new. The book takes a comprehensive look at the essential elements of CIO Leadership for cities and counties. The 30 chapter book covers leadership, strategic planning, technology practices, innovation, cyber security, cloud services, civic engagement, digital ethics, as well as human resources and the future. While a number of books have been published that target the CIO and technology in general, this book was developed exclusively to meet the needs and interests of local government officials. The book is written by leading experts and practitioners from the government and private sectors. With the broad overview of topics that the book addresses, and because it is written in a non-technical manner, the book appeals to a wide number of individuals with an interest in and responsibility for technology programs in the public sector.
Beyond E-government & E-democracy
