1. Summer Reading for Learning Professionals? What is on the reading lists of learning professionals this summer? A reporter called our office yesterday asking that question, so I thought I would gather some instant comments from our 50,000 readers. I'll start with myself. A couple of books that are on my reading list this summer:

- "Why the Bottom Line ISN'T" by Dave Ulrich and Norm Smallwood
- "The HR Scorecard: Linking People, Strategy, and Performance"
by Brian E. Becker
- "Intellectual Property Examples & Explanations: Examples and Explanations" by Stephen M. McJohn
- "Life Is Not a Stress Rehearsal: Bringing Yesterday's Sane Wisdom into Today's Insane World" by Loretta Laroche

What are you reading? Send me a quick note to emasie@masie.com and I will post these next week!

2. Calendars, Travel & Learning: Two of the common integration elements that we are seeing in the world of Learning Systems, are in the linking of the LMS and both Calendar Systems as well as Travel Management Systems.
Employee's calendars are being updated for both classroom and on-line learning events. In addition, members of our e-Learning CONSORTIUM are blocking off time chunks in employees calendars for self-paced e-Learning study. The other integration element that we are now hearing about is to link LMS class registration directly into airline and travel systems. In one instance, as soon as an employee selects a class, the system pops up a web based airline and hotel system to prompt the finalization of their travel plans.
