Looking for DAM case studies/best practices

I just began working at school and we have a TON of old photos. My advice is just to permanently archive older photographs and begin fresh with Lightroom and a good digital asset management policy.
I know there are resources and tutorials on DAM with Lightroom, but I'm looking for examples of how other institutions, schools, organizations and non-profits are using Lightroom and Bridge. Anyone know if any place where I can find something like this?

Yes, semantically speaking, Lr does not physically house nor is it an actual physical repository for image files. For those uncomfortable with certain terms ... they should request that Adobe address all other troubling terminology in their software so we all can feel a bit more comfortable ... since we don't actually import images into Lr (other than graphic identity plates and graphic watermarks) ... we merely reference those files in Lr. Perhaps Adobe could label that button/action more accurately as a start.
If we do not physically import photos into Lr, then what use is there to have a button for the function of Export? If we didn't actually import any images into Lr ... how is it possible to export an image out of Lr? Or, how about the fact that the Camera Calibration panel does not actually calibrate cameras for another? ... but I digress ...
Indeed, from a physical standpoint, the files we manage using Lr are not actually stored inside the Lr catalog ... however, all the extremely valuable camera generated EXIF and IPTC along with user generated metadata is stored in a repository that is known as the .lrcat file. Of course, one should not confuse that this repository has any actual images stored within.
While it may be preferred, and more comfortable, to be perfectly accurate in discussing such terms, we can also drown in a sea of semantic minutiae if we all insist on picking nits with such phrases used in the discussion as well.

Unfortunately, Safari cannot be updated past 5.1.10 on a Mac running v10.6.8.
So, the options are to upgrade to a newer OS X or use Firefox or Chrome.

Hi, I'm currently browsing the web looking for a case that is compatible with the smart cover for the iPad 2. If anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to read all opinions! Thanks!

I love the Smart Cover. It fits the way I work and I love the instant on/off and the always available screen protection. I wouldn't use my iPad without it.
I got a Cover Buddy for the back, because I wanted the back to be less slippery when I'm using the iPad in the classroom, teaching. I picked this back cover because it's VERY lightweight, easy to get on or off and, protects the corners, has accurate cutouts for the ports, and (in the colors) has a rubberized surface:

I have a Built NY "hoody" slip on case with a hard internal shell that I use when I'm in the field and I can put the iPad with the Smart Cover and the Cover Buddy inside this . But for everyday use, the Smart Cover with the Cover Buddy is a terrific combination.

I'm looking for a case/bag for the new MacBook Pro with Retina Display - any suggestions?

As the title says, I'm looking for a case or bag for the new MBP w/ Retina Display. I'd prefer either a sleeve or a backpack designed for it - not having any luck finding sleeves that are made for the MBP w/ Retina Display, and I'm thinking the ones for the other 15" MBP will be a little too big. Any suggestions?

Look at these, very cool.

Looking for a case for my new Macbook Pro 13'' 2011

Any help would be great!
I am looking for a case for my new MacBook Pro 13'' 2011. I went to the Speck website where there are plenty of nice cases to choose from, except I am a little worried that it wont fit the MBP properly. The new MBP 13'' has the same dimensions as the older model but I am mostly worried about the power mag not properly plugging into the side of the MBP.
Have you guys heard of anyone having problems with their L-shaped power mags not fully fitting onto the macbook pro?
I like the Speck brand very much on my MBP 15'' because I haven't had any problems with it.

Speck casing is good and will fit EXACTLY what your MBP is.
here's mine,

Im looking for a case with a built in screen protector Help

Im looking for a case, thats semi-slim, with a built in screen protector, and possibly waterproof.
any suggestions

I think if your looking for that kind of protection its pretty much going to add bulk...I've searched through hundreds of cases and those are the smallest with built in screen protectors...im 5' tall 100lbs and the ballistic fits in my pocket comfortably...I've never seen an otterbox on one so I can't truly compare them...I know I found a leather flip front case with a screen protector on Amazon too...very little protection and far from waterproof though...they have baggy kind of things that are waterproof that you can use your phone through...I don't know if it would fit in with any kind of case on it though

Looking for ipod case

When I first bought my iPod I had a normal skin for it but that has scratched it a bit so now I have resorted to not using a cover at all. I am looking for a case (leather if possible) that protects my iPod and looks nice. But I want it to be one that you can easily see the screen. So if you know of any good iPod (30gb) cases then please write back. Thanks.
5th generation iPod Windows XP

Personally I use one from XtremeMac but if you Google for "iPod cases uk" you'll find that there are loads of good leather cases out there from UK suppliers. Take care.

Looking for a case!

Hey everybody,
I'm looking for an iPhone 5 case, preferably dual layer and even a little thick (I like thicker cases for some reason ). I've tried the OtterBox Commuter but I don't like how the Apple logo is exposed. I have the Defender, but obviously I'm looking for something smaller than that. Ideally, something that's like the Otterbox Commuter. I've been looking at the Incipio DualPro, but I have a white iPhone 5 so I'm not sure if it would look good with any of the colors. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Thanks a lot guys!

If you (like me) like the otter box commuter then I would suggest that you stay with that - I believe that it is an excellent case. You could protect the logo at the back by putting a screen protector on the back, with a little bit cut out for the camera, before putting the case on. This is what I have done. Also, the little bit for the logo is quite recessed so the camera back is still quite protected. It also helps you identify which way round the iPhone is, in your pocket or bag, by feel.

ITunes Accounts - 1 account for multiple iPads? Best Practices?

I'm setting up a small deployment of 5 iPads for use in my company. Could anyone share some tips / best practices as far as iTunes accounts are concerned?
We would like to use one iTunes account to activate all of the iPads and set up / link to each one's AppleCare Protection Plan. Any apps purchased on any of the 5 iPads need to be billed to one account if possible.
Are there any disadvantages to doing it this way, or would setting up an iTunes account (or some other strategy) for each iPad be a more advantageous route?

One thing comes immediately to mind, if you leave the billing account active on the individual devices ( without, say IPCU restrictions on App or movie Purchases) the device users could bill stuff like movies, apps etc. to the central billing account. We don't setup the devices with iTunes ( though we don't use Apple Care, so I'm not sure if this is important with Apple Care Protection), and just let the users enter their own iTunes account info. You could distribute Apps using the new Volume Purchase Program; apps could be centrally deployed to the various devices, billed to one account, and the end user wouldn't be able to individually bill the centralized account. We also tell users they can put on the device whatever they want, but must perform any iTunes backups on home computers. If something goes wrong, we just reset the device to factory and start over; the user must restore whatever they had on the device from their backup. This way we also manage to avoid having to manage iTunes stores on work computers. We do require encryption of iTunes backups via IPCU policy.

Keep wifi on/off for shutdown what is best practice?

hi all
i was wondering what the general consensus was for turning wifi on and off. i normally shut down my MBP during the night, and turn my wifi off as well.
is it worth to turn the wifi off at all, or can i just leave it on?
the reason i ask is because it would be nice to just power on and have it set up without taking the extra (5 seconds) to turn it on.
thoughts? what do you all do? what is considered best practice here?

007, i was talking about my MBP not the actual router.
thanks for the reply
Well in your first post you say, "I shut down my MBP during the night", and then say, and turn my WIFi off as well".
If you shut down your MBP then the WiFi in the MBP is off to begin with. No power to the MBP is No power to the WiFi card in the MBP. So I assumed you were talking about your WiFi router.

Reason for creating New Version Best practice

Hello SAP Gurus,
We know we are creating new version of the DIR when it is required to make a change in the original keeping in tact the Older file also for reference,
we want to know when a new version of the document is getting created how can we specify, why and what made us to create this new Version, we would like to capture this reason in SAP so the user can easily come to know why this Version is created,
can you please let us know, where actually are we capturing this details while creating the new version,
i know there are lot of free entry fields like Generic object Text field, Long text field, change the description, place the text in the WR log field of the new Version,
which is the best practice so that the user can easily come to know the reason why this new version has been created,
may be they should see this reason details in CV04N search as well, or immediately when opening the new version.
Thanks and regards
Kumar

Hello Kumar
Hope following explanation will clarify your questions
We have to classify our documents broadly in two category 1) Controlled document --means which under goes various level of / Inspection / review / approval etc with in Organisation e.g. Engg Drawing , Standard Operating Procedure for business purpose, best way for this is use Engineering Change Management (ECM)Functiuon and when you make any up versions, you can track / write key docu ment history in ECM
also when you do up version let say in Micosoft word , you can maintain simple table to track what is purpose of change, in what location you are making chnage and its justification.
For Engineering drawing of 2D /3D we can use Redlining functions to createt the Lawyers to know reviwers observation so that next version thopse are taken care
2) Uncontrolled Document---Generally they are less significant from document Change Control point of view
Hope this is useful

Looking for a case recommendation - special requirements

I just moved up to an i4 from an i3G, and I'm looking for a decent case to protect the entire phone. I really need something for a rugged environment, and it has to have a belt clip. I have a very active job so this isn't going to be a pocket phone or sitting in the center console of a Rolls Royce. I have a Speck Tough Case on my 3G, and besides the extreme shock protection, it completely covers everything on the face except for the display. Spec makes a "Tough Skin" for the i4 but it doesn't cover the upper area of the faceplate like their Tough Case did for the 3G.
Any recommendations?
