Provides matrices showing how ethical issues impact the initiating, planning, executing, monitoring, controlling, and closing of a project
Provides solutions for dealing with ethical situations and transgressions
Addresses key legal topics related to ethics in the project environment
Includes checklists to ensure ethical compliance at each stage of a project
Summary
Ethics plays a critical role in project management, but all too often, its importance is overlooked. This benign neglect can result in serious consequences to individuals and organizations, ranging from tarnished reputations to civil and criminal liability. Ethics and Project Management demonstrates the importance of making ethics a key consideration in managing projects and describes the impacts that occur when ethical transgressions arise.
Providing the tools necessary for project managers to avoid an ethical lapse that can put themselves and their organization at risk, this volume:
Defines ethics and places it within the project management context
Discusses the contents of the Project Management Institute’s code of ethics
Enables project managers to recognize the trends that precipitate ethical dilemmas on a project
Demonstrates how ethical concerns permeate the entire project life cycle
Provides tips on establishing a governance protocol to ensure ethical compliance
Explores legal issues that arise from unethical behavior
Examines how ethical concerns on a project can have global implications, and how to operate in international settings with cultural differences
Each chapter ends with a Getting Started Checklist, facilitating immediate application of the concepts discussed and making it easy for project managers to determine whether they are in compliance with ethical standards. Providing a solid roadmap for the ethical health of a project, this volume is essential reading for all those concerned with avoiding the disastrous consequences of a cavalier approach to ethics.
Praise for the book:
... a great desktop reference for any project manager. It is a must-have title to complete any project management library and I recommend it to both new and highly experienced project managers.

Editorial Reviews
After 33 years in the project management profession, I have seen ethics treated as sacred by most and valued much less by others. Ralph Kliem has taken the subject of ethics for project managers, dissected it with the accuracy of a skilled surgeon, and then explained it in exacting detail for the entire community to easily understand. In a world where we usually see ethics gone awry, he proves that taking the hard right over the easy wrong still is (and always will be) the best option. Since project management is a global profession, today's project manager is faced with integrating the rules, customs, cultures, and ethical values of different countries into their projects. Using the information in this book will sustain the foundation of ethical behavior and decision-making at all levels of the organization, regardless of project size and/or location. The use of graphics, check lists, examples, and other tools, turn this book into a working document and a great desktop reference for any project manager. It is a must-have title to complete any project management library and I recommend it to both new and highly experienced project managers.

Using the Engineering Literature, Second Edition >> By Bonnie A. Osif (Editor)
Author: Bonnie A. Osif, Pennsylvania State University, University Park, USA | Size: zip 5.08 MB | Format:PDF | Quality:Original preprint | Publisher: CRC Press | Year: August 09, 2011 | pages: 545 | ISBN: ISBN-10: 143985002X ISBN-13: 978-1439850022
1.Description
Features
Features contributions from experienced engineering librarians
Updates information from the first edition, which won an ASEE Best Reference Book award in 2007
Includes new material on nanotechnology
Covers green engineering
Summary
With the encroachment of the Internet into nearly all aspects of work and life, it seems as though information is everywhere. However, there is information and then there is correct, appropriate, and timely information. While we might love being able to turn to Wikipedia® for encyclopedia-like information or search Google® for the thousands of links on a topic, engineers need the best information, information that is evaluated, up-to-date, and complete. Accurate, vetted information is necessary when building new skyscrapers or developing new prosthetics for returning military veterans
While the award-winning first edition of Using the Engineering Literature used a roadmap analogy, we now need a three-dimensional analysis reflecting the complex and dynamic nature of research in the information age. Using the Engineering Literature, Second Edition provides a guide to the wide range of resources available in all fields of engineering. This second edition has been thoroughly revised and features new sections on nanotechnology as well as green engineering.
The information age has greatly impacted the way engineers find information. Engineers have an effect, directly and indirectly, on almost all aspects of our lives, and it is vital that they find the right information at the right time to create better products and processes.
Comprehensive and up to date, with expert chapter authors, this book fills a gap in the literature, providing critical information in a user-friendly format.

Editorial Reviews
Praise for Previous Editions
Winner of the 2007 Best Reference Work Award of the American Society for Engineering Education
"… this would be a good reference to start for those seeking references in an engineering field they are not familiar with."
—American Reference Books Annual (ARBA) Online, 2008
"As Bonnie Osif, the editor of this impressive work, points out, quality information retrieval skills are often lacking in the engineering profession. This publication will hopefully go some way to rectifying this situation, and will help those within, and without, the profession to discover and exploit the many information tools that exist—some of which are at present unfortunately underused. … The basics are covered very well. There are hints on searching library catalogues … A lot of work has gone into compiling this book, and the result is an extremely useful reference work which should be purchased by all libraries serving engineers of any kind."
—Internet Resources Newsletter, Issue 146, December 2006
"… this reference guide[s] readers to engineering information resources with the goal of avoiding information overkill by pointing to good resources in a wide variety of formats that address most needs."
—SciTech Book News, September 2007

Dear Admin.
Let me breakdown what I do when I want to get user's request.
1. Open Link given by user(if available), if not then I have to use google to search.
2. Login to my ezproxy site
3. Open approriate sites
4. Type or copy name of request journal(not always), many of Journal sites like ASCE, Elsevier, Wiley, I have to open one by one link to get it. For example, Journal ASCE Journal of Structural Engineering, 1998, Issue 2, then get the title(I need 4 click to get file. No, actually sometime more than 6 click).
5. Download file
6. Check The file(Some journal or standard have mark at the bottom of file(IP address). I aware if someone know my IP(especially journal provider or author of journal) then he could report to Journal provider and my IP(my university) get banned). So, my solution is remove the mark at each page of file(sometime I have to remove SECURE of file first like British Standard and ASCE). Imagine if the journal/standard has hundreds of pages or user have 5 request file or more, I need hundreds of mouse click to remove one by one of its mark.
7. After That then I compress the files into 1 file(if need and impossible).
8. set password(sometime, especially for Standard or Journal Collection)
9. Upload file(consume time, especially when my speed get slower, uploading process getting failure and failure).
10. Take screenshot of file
11. Upload to civilea imagehost
12. Open post generator
13. Search information about article(If not then I will get warned from moderator and 10 warning will make me banned from this forum)
14. Fill infomation(Title, size, isbn etc, etc and many more) to post generator
15. share in forum.
Maybe, there are still many steps I skip from above.
Now, let me breakdown what requester do when he want to request.
1. Search on google
2. Copy the title
3. copy the link(if he want. If not then moderator will not warn him)
4. post in forum(without post generator is not a problem)
5. Go away from this forum then comeback tomorrow and find his request has been answer
6. download
7. Go away and never shared
8. request again
9. request again
10. request again
11. request again
I really love to share, really. But Look, it's really not fair.
I just want one request for you.
have the user who want request to use post generator. Maybe we need more post generator especially in request.
by this way, It will help me and other user to get request file. Our request section will get more clear than before.
I have one simple good request. Look image below
It's a good request I think.
Sorry for disturb you Admin
