They probably don't carry much academic weight, but they're true, right? To me, if it's true, then you can include it on your CV or resume if you wish. -=Steve=-
I just don't want to appear foolish if I list them like,"...stupid DL person doesn't even know what to list...see they are all dumb!" They are all true and the ones outside the work-world are: LAST_NAME, R. (2004, May). Mentoring. Technology and Service Magazine, 12, 47 LAST_NAME, R. (2010, January). The work of effective engineers. Technology and Service Magazine, 15, 42 Presentation: LAST_NAME, R. (2009, October). Communicating effectively using neuro-linguistic programming. Lecture presented at the National Federation of NeuroLinguistic Programming’s Training Program, Naples, FL. But these sound really cool too since they are international: LAST_NAME, R.

For a CV, you basically list everything. One of my committe members does a lot of consulting, and has quite an extensive list of "day job" and industry related presentations/articles. His CV is posted online. You can use it as an example. http://www.clas.ufl.edu/users/thrall...hrall_vita.pdf It's about 50 pages!
So, I've been wondering if I should include things like a legal handbook for non-attorney court advocates that I have edited. It was published by a state-wide organization, not by a major publisher. I was just the editor. I wrote snippets here and there through the work, but I did not author it. I list it in my C.V. under work experience rather than publications. Is that the appropriate place for it?
AP: Sure, you can list these on your CV, there is no harm in doing that. If you have presentations made at professional conferences (where you submitted a proposal and it was peer reviewed and accepted for presentation), this should listed separately from those made at the "day job". One could be in a section of your CV labeled "Conference Presentations," while the "day jobs" could go in a section labeled "Other Presentations" or "Invited Presentations". Presentations need only to include the month & year, not the day. Newsletter articles can go into your CV. Many people separate their publications into journal articles, magazine articles, newsletter articles, etc. Those with fewer publications lump them together. I would put the articles from Technology and Service Magazine in a separate section than the Quarterly Probe newsletters. Community Service is another legitimate section for your CV.
Thanks, I found a suggestion online to list them as: Publications LAST_NAME, R. (2004, May). Mentoring. Technology and Service Magazine, 12, 47 LAST_NAME, R. (2010, January). The work of effective engineers. Technology and Service Magazine, 15, 42 Internal Publications LAST_NAME, R, (2009, Winter). Surgical training to gain marketshare. Quarterly Probe, 1.

Think beyond the ordinary and challenge the status quo. Quarterly Probe, 2.
"Publications" and "Internal Publications" is a good template to use. However, unlike presentations, publication citiations typically do not include the month or season in parentheses after the author's name. You would only list the date or season (i.e. fall, winter) if the publication does not have a volume or issue number. It may seem redundant to have the year twice, but that is most common.

Randall, by all means list such presentations on your cv. They carry more weight they you may think especially if they relate to your academics. I am an associate professor at a very large state university and in spite of the ivory tower stereotypes; practical so called real world experience carries weight in academics especially in hiring decisions. Certainly not as much weight as publications in quality journals but it is important nevertheless.
