Sally originally suggested a title of "The Value of Virtual Communities in Career Advising."

My preference is "The Value of Creating Virtual Career Development Communities".

Please comment if this works for you or offer alternatives.

Here is a link to the post about "who is doing what topic" - http://lifeworkps.com/lwpsmonograf/weblog/29.html

Sally said on 2/8:

I talked about the monograph with the Publication Committee today on a phone meeting. If we get the proposal to the committee this month, then we can get it reviewed and voted upon in March. NCDA needs about five months to publish the manuscript, once the final copy is received from the author. If the final copy is completed by May, and edited by June, then there's a good chance it will be published in time for ICDC. I think it is worthwhile to proceed. Even if it is turned down by the committee, it would be of value to publish as an online book (PDF document or other format) and have available to participants at NCDA and ICDC. One of the committee members suggested we add another male to contribute to the monograph. We are looking into a contributor, maybe to discuss implementing a career cybercounseling program at a university.

Clarification:The proposal and the actual manuscript are two different documents. Pete

How long will it take Google to find this post?

A career-chain is a short list of ONET codes linked by the year you moved from one code to the other.

Here is my career-chain: (32)15-1021.00(41/61)21-1012.00(10)

1. At age 32, I became a computer programmer: 15-1021.00 - Computer Programmers
   
2. At age 41, I discovered that I wanted to design and build a career planning and job matching system for IBM: 21-1012.00 - Educational, Vocational, and School Counselors
   
3. At age 61 (retired) I finally was able to pursue (almost fulltime), my interest in helping people to find their life's work using Internet-based tools.
   
4. And on the scale of soul-satisfying work, this has been a ten (10) for me.
   

Here is a link to Ed's outline - http://lifeworkps.com/edwardc/weblog/59.html

Here is a link to the pre-draft copy of our proposal - http://www.lifeworkps.com/HPH/Pubs/NCDA-Monograph-proposal-LWPS.pdf (I placed a link to it in the "orange box" to the right)

Section 10 of the proposal reads "Detailed outline of the product:"

If everyone's outline is as detailed as Ed's, then the collection of all of our outlines placed in this section 10 will be huge. I won't be able to ask Mary Ann until Tuesday, so I ask you now if you think this is what NCDA wants.

I'm thinking that just the first level of everyone's outline will be sufficient. Here is what I would submit for Ed's topic.

Sally and I are writing our monograph chapters now so I can send them to the Publications committee along with the proposal by Tues. 2/28. She and I (and anyone else who wants to join us) need to discuss and agree on the template for these chapters.

Please post your comments below. A link to this post is in the TOC that is accessible from the community "orange box".

Below is an MS Word .doc and a PDF version of my proposed template (style, format and layout) for a chapter in the monograph.

• Draft of monograph chapter template .doc - http://www.lifeworkps.com/HPH/Pubs/LWPS-monograph/1st-Edition/NCDA-Monograph-chapter-template.doc
  
• Draft of monograph chapter template .pdf - http://www.lifeworkps.com/HPH/Pubs/LWPS-monograph/1st-Edition/NCDA-Monograph-chapter-template.pdf
  

Please review it and make comments about it here no later than Wed. 3/1 so we can finalize it.

When it is finalized, I will ask each of you to

• Add one segment of your outline that has 2-3 sub-headings
  
• Add a few words to the lowest level
  
• Test out TOC, then remove it
  
• Send the file back to me so I can roll it up and we can see what it looks like.
