The Field Guide is designed to answer exactly that question. This Introduction helps you understand how to use this guide, walks you through the software we believe every nonprofit organization should have, and provides an overview of a few key terms. 7 Understanding What You Need Ready to think through the types of software your nonprofit is likely to find helpful? Dive right in... This Introduction walks you through the software we believe every nonprofit organization should have, regardless of size or mission, and provides an overview of a few key terms that apply to nonprofit software. The Case Study section provides an overview of the different types of software used by a set of fictional—but plausibly realistic— nonprofits. If you’re unsure what you might need, this is a good place to start. These examples can help you pinpoint the specific types of software to investigate further in the next section. The remainder of the guide is organized to help you find the types of software that might be useful based on the goals you’re trying to achieve. We’ll walk through the software designed for seven different areas: Back Office and Productivity, Analytics, Collaboration, Constituent Management, Fundraising and Events, Communications, and Program Delivery. In each section, we’ll first take an overall look at the types of software that might be useful based on your own situation and your organization’s level of technical sophistication. Each section then contains an introduction to the software types that might be useful in that area. Note that some systems overlap different areas. For example, Page Layout software can be considered part of both the Back Office and Productivity area and Communications area because of the different ways in which an organization might use it. In those cases, we included the full description of the systems in the area in which we think they fit best for their primary use, but also refer to them in other sections. THE FIELD GUIDE TO SOFTWARE The eighth section, Choosing and Implementing Software, walks you through the process of selecting the best tool for your budget and needs and putting it to use at your organization. We recommend that you begin with the case studies or the walk- throughs for each category to identify the types of software you’re likely to find useful. Every time you see a software typehighlighted like this, it means we covered it elsewhere in this guide, so you can refer to the appropriate section for more information. Where did all this information come from? Our mission is to provide information to help nonprofits make smart software decisions. Over the years we’ve done impartial research and reviews of many different types of software. This Field Guide is the synthesis of all that research—it boils thousands of pages of reports and articles down to a handy, concise guide. 9 Every Organization Needs Systems that help with common tasks—such as managing constituents and maintaining websites—can benefit nearly every organization, regardless of mission or budget. Back Office and Productivity Whatever your mission, there are certain tools you’ll need to manage your organization and staff day in and day out. If you have more than one staff member, an Excel spreadsheet will not be sufficient for accounting purposes—you’ll need a dedicated Accounting System to track finances, expenditures, and payroll. Office Software is important to help you create and edit documents, spreadsheets, presentations, and all the other materials on which organizations run. Email and Calendar software lets you and your staff send and receive critical emails and share your schedules. You’ll need an internet connection to support email, obviously. And if you have an internet connection, you need Virus Protection software to keep malicious computer viruses and spyware from compromising your data or your productivity. Firewalls are also important to prevent hackers and others from gaining unauthorized access to your data and computers. Finally, you’ll need a File Backup and Recovery solution to protect your organization’s data and save you the time, cost, and effort of recovering from a data loss. THE FIELD GUIDE TO SOFTWARE Analytics You can learn a lot about the impact of your programs and what people think of your work by collecting and analyzing data. To help with Program Evaluation, many organizations create Dashboards that aggregate constituent data, Survey Data, Website Analytics, and more. They also use

  • Mendeley Mendeley Is a Reference and Citation Manager Available for Free up to 2 GB of Web Storage (More Storage Is Available for $55 Per Year)
    Mendeley Mendeley is a reference and citation manager available for free up to 2 GB of web storage (more storage is available for $55 per year). Mendeley is available as a desktop app, mobile app, as well as online. An MS Word extension allows users to connect to and cite their references while writing. Mendeley allows users to add resources in three ways. First, one may upload a PDF to Mendeley. Mendeley stores the PDF and allows the user to comment on and write notes in the PDF. Users may also enter sources manually, in cases where no PDF is present. For this entry approach, a few templates are available for the most common resource types. Users may also use the web extension to download source information from the web. Once sources have been entered, users can then then organize their sources in a variety of ways. The most prevalent use is through folders, which allow users to categorize sources by topic or project. However, users can also create tags for their files and sources so that they can search for keywords or topics that are important to them. Points in favor: • In-app PDF reader with commentary ability Points against: • Surprising lack of resource templates and information fields (e.g. no template for a conference paper or a book with translator). • MS Word extension has bugs that cause it to crash. Screenshots: Microsoft Word Citation Generator Although we tested Microsoft Word primarily as a writing app, the program includes a citation generator which was tested for facility and accuracy alongside the other reference management apps.1 Like other apps, MS Word has templates for common and uncommon resource types, including book, journal, and sound recording.

It’s estimated that a billion people entered this century unable to read a book or sign their own name. Access to education sits at the crux of poverty and economic development. With a more educated population we nourish a more robust and dynamic workforce, stronger civic engagement and home-grown innovations solving regional problems. Without access to education, progress comes to a stand still. Not surprisingly the countries with the most out- of-school children are also are some of the world’s poorest. Outside the United States, student loans are rare. For too many young people, no matter how bright and gifted they may be, access to higher education can be near impossible without the necessary financial resources.

Amparo Alcina Caudet Universitat Jaume I Castellón de la Plana, diciembre de 2012 AGRADECIMIENTOS Quiero agradecer muy especialmente a la Dra. Amparo Alcina, directora de esta tesis, en primer lugar por haberme acogido en el máster Tecnoloc y el grupo de investigación TecnoLeTTra y por haberme animado luego a continuar con mi investigación como proyecto de doctorado. Sus sugerencias y comentarios fueron fundamentales para el desarrollo de esta tesis. Agradezco también al Dr. Grabriel Quiroz, quien como profesor durante mi último año en la Licenciatura en Traducción en la Universidad de Antioquia (Medellín, Colombia) despertó mi interés por la informática aplicada a la traducción. De igual manera, agradezco a mis estudiantes de Traducción Asistida por Computador en la misma universidad por interesarse en el software libre y por motivarme a buscar herramientas alternativas que pudiéramos utilizar en clase sin tener que depender de versiones de demostración ni recurrir a la piratería. A mi colega Pedro, que comparte conmigo el interés por la informática aplicada a la traducción y por el software libre, le agradezco la oportunidad de llevar la teoría a la práctica profesional durante todos estos años. Quisiera agradecer a Esperanza, Anna, Verónica y Ewelina, compañeras de aventuras en la UJI, por haber sido mi grupo de apoyo y estar siempre ahí para escucharme en los momentos más difíciles. Mis más sinceros agradecimientos también a María por ser esa voz de aliento y cordura que necesitaba escuchar para seguir adelante y llegar a feliz término con este proyecto.
