December 23, 2009 message from Roger Debreceny [roger@DEBRECENY.COM]

The IASB is trialling podcast summaries of each meeting at http://tinyurl.com/yz7xjxt http://www.iasb.org/Updates/Podcast+summaries/Podcast+summaries+of+Board+meetings.htm . Being a systems person, I only take a moderate issue in the intricacies of the latest financial accounting standards setting. But the first 30 minute podcast with IASB board member Steve Cooper and fellow Kiwi, Alan Teixeira, Director of Technical Activities at the Board provided a very useful summary of key issues.

Greetings to all on AECM for Christmas and the New Year.

For law students who know what legal field they are interesyted in Law Professor Blogs is a great resource. Broken down by specialty, the blogs on the site are created by law professors, for law professors. The blogs contain links to recent news in their fields, as well as abstracts of newly published papers.

SSRN's Accounting Research Network (ARN) Directed by Ross Watts --- http://www.ssrn.com/arn/index.html

Jensen Comment
Many accounting professors still think of SSRN as simply a database of working papers, many of which are now free --- although they may not be the latest versions that were eventually published by journals that are not free.

However, there are some other services now available that we don't often think of as being available at SSRN. For example, the ARN subsidiary of the SSRN posts academic accounting job openings ---
http://www.ssrn.com/update/arn/arnjob/arn_job.html
These are more focused on R1 research universities and, as such, do not cast quite as wide a net as the job postings at the American Accounting Association site.

The SSRN also posts announcements with the primary focus being on forthcoming conferences. Here the net is wider than the conference postings of the American Accounting Association.

There are various other free and fee-based ARN services listed at http://www.ssrn.com/arn/index.html

Even more importantly there are similar subsidiaries of SSRN available in other business, law, organization behavior, philosophy, and social science disciplines ---

Hardware includes all platforms and peripherals. Software includes spreadsheets, practice sets, multimedia authoring and presentation packages, data base programs, tax packages, World Wide Web applications, etc.

Over the years the AECM has become the worldwide forum for accounting educators on all issues of accountancy and accounting education, including debates on accounting standards, managerial accounting, careers, fraud, forensic accounting, auditing, doctoral programs, and critical debates on academic (accountics) research, publication, replication, and validity testing.

Top Accounting and Education Twitter Tweets

"Checkout Our “The Best Of “Twitter Lists – Love Your DM or RT," The Big Four Blog, November 9, 2009 ---
http://www.bigfouralumni.blogspot.com/

Twitter just released its latest exciting functionality - Twitter Lists, and we think it’s awesome and very timely.

It allows us to curate who we think are the most appropriate Tweeters to follow in our niche space of The Big Four Firms, accounting, finance, tax, jobs and related topics.

We have already created some list, which we are calling “The Best Of”. We rather like this name, but we’ll evolve as lists get more ingrained, and may change.

For example after our search, all the Twitterers we think are most relevant to follow for Deloitte happenings in the Twitter universe, we have added to our “The Best of Deloitte” list.

This is our subjective selection, and we think it's a pretty good one. That’s not to say that we have completely covered all the bases, so if there is someone that just needs to be on or off any of these lists, please DM or shout out to us @big4alum. Thanks in advance.

Also, we’ll continue to refine and add/subtract to this list over time, but our intent is to keep them highly relevant and focused. We see that some of our list already have some followers and no doubt this will pick up as Twitter Lists get more ingrained and Twitter itself allows tweets and Twitter Lists to be retweeted.

So, here are our lists – follow us or follow the lists, and keep that feedback going!!

    Jim Hasselback's Accounting Faculty Directory

    The old Accounting Faculty Directory Database served up (free) by Rutgers is now defunct and only provides a redirect to Jim’s new site.
    http://rarc.rutgers.edu/hasselback/

    It appears that Jim now charges for a license to his most recent Directory database. It also appears that the electronic version for Excel is rather expensive ($1,750) ---
    http://www.jrhasselback.com/AtgDir.html
    It’s not clear what is meant by an “unlimited use” license for an entire department or just an individual. For example, can the purchased database be put on a Local Area Network or Blackboard for all members of a department to Access. Can the Department’s students also access the database?

    Free PDF Archives (that can be word searched)
    It also appears that Jim continues to make PDF versions of most prior editions available in PDF format (that can be word/name searched) --- http://www.facultydirectories.com/

    As of 2009, PDF files  for the years 1974-2006 are available.
    My advice would be to download and save at least one of these free directories just in case they no longer become available for free in the future.

    The hardcopy 2008-2009 version is now being sold by Jim for $40 each (as of late in 2009).
    Prentice-Hall (Pearson) still holds the copyright --- http://www.pearsonhighered.com/educator/academic/product/0,3110,0136001866,00.html

    But What’s Most Important to Know
    In January 2010 Prentice-Hall (Pearson) will be publishing and distributing hardcopy versions of the current version of the 2008-2009 Accounting Faculty Directory for free to qualified accounting faculty. I suspect that you can get a free copy in the usual manner by contacting your Prentice-Hall (Pearson) local textbook representative. In the past I got two free copies of every new edition --- one copy for me and one copy for my secretary.

    My hat has always been off to Jim for providing a great deal of free information about doctoral programs and graduates from accounting doctoral programs ---

      The link made its way into the Twitter stream of technology teacher William Chamberlain, who asked the eighth grade students in his class to comment on the blog post.

      The story doesn't end there. The eigth-graders had some questions about Kaia and her dad's life in Doha, Qatar, so Raisdana skyped into their class. The students also created video comments that they sent to Kaia (read the complete story on Raisdana's blog).

      On top of that, professor John Strange from the University of South Alabama saw the post and passed it on to the students in his educational media class. They commented on Kaia's photo essay as well and wrote more than 50 blog posts in response to the photo essay (read this part of the story in Raisdana's words).

    How to Improve a WordPress News Site

    New Technology for Wordpress sites
    "Omeka Gets Access Keys Plugin,
    by  Cory Bohon, Chronicle of Higher Education, June 14, 2011 --- |
    http://chronicle.com/blogs/profhacker/omeka-gets-access-keys-plugin/34011?sid=wc&utm_source=wc&utm_medium=en

    Just a few months ago, I wrote a post introducing a plugin I developed that allows anyone to make their WordPress site more accessible and easier to navigate. [Note: like almost all WordPress plugins, this one works if you're hosting your own site but not if your site is hosted by WordPress.com.] This pluginwhich is listed in the WordPress.org plugin directorymakes it easy to specify keyboard shortcuts for built-in WordPress functions and for access to other internal or external pages.

    Access keys, as you may already know, are an example of universal design: they make a site easier to navigate not only for people who are blind or have low vision but for all people (provided they can use a keyboard).

    But I couldn’t just stop with WordPress. Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working to create a plugin with the same functions for Omeka, a content management system for scholarly collections (and a ProfHacker favorite). Just yesterday, I released the Access Keys plugin for Omeka to the public, allowing any Omeka administrator the ability to make their site a little more accessible with just a few clicks.

    The Omeka Access Keys plugin allows an admin to give keyboard shortcuts to the following built-in action:

    In addition, the Omeka plugin will read aloud the available access keys to users navigating through the site using a screen reader. For the visual users, the site administrator can place a small link to a listing of the access keys anywhere in the theme.
