TechSoup has launched another practical series of New Year's resolutions this year, the year of the ox. Read on to learn how, just like the ox, this installment includes ideas that are dependable, calm, modest, and stable.

TechSoup's GreenTech initiative is hosting a free webinar TOMORROW on how to change your printing ways. Learn about tools you can use to make the world a bit more green. Here's to more trees and fewer stacks of paper clogging my desk! Check it out:

The dirty secret of librarianship is the amount of paper we use.  Well, it's not really a secret.  And the fact that we offer a shared resource (i.e. books) based on paper saves untold numbers of trees every year.  But we do use a lot of printer paper, and it costs us in time, money and nagging guilt.  If you need some help taming this beast, TechSoup Global’s GreenTech Program is hosting a free one-day online event on Wed. Nov. 12th: Reduce Paper Use: Greening the Planet and Helping Your Nonprofit’s Budget.
