Digitization Projects--Canada
Now Available: The Digitized Diaries of William Mackenzie King
Last May we mentioned that a project was underway to digitize this material. Today, news from Cold North Wind that the project is complete. From the announcement, "The diaries, which King kept on a regular basis from 1893 while as a student at the University of Toronto until shortly before his death in 1950, provide an intimate glimpse into one of Canada's most unique and dominant political figures. The diaries are available on the National Archives website as part of a retrospective on King's life. The diaries are searchable by term or phrase as well as by date and page number. The diaries exist in three different forms�the original handwritten diary; a typed transcript and an abridged typed transcript. In total there are about 50,000 images."

Click to view the article The fallacy of information overload
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

A lot of the talk around social media in the last year has been around information overload. Social media has provided us with new and exciting ways to create content. But it has also meant learning new ways to manage and engage with social media tools. Are we teetering on the edge of an information overload precipice?


Click to view the article Information overload: fact, fantasy or filter failure?
Wednesday, 23rd May 2012

Information overload is a figment of your imagination. Or a failure of your filter. Or a symptom of your technological submissiveness. Depends on who you ask.


Click to view the article Newsdesk: tracking millions of pieces of information a day
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

What if you had to sort through 3.5 million articles and social media posts a day and try to pull out the most relevant items for your organisation? What if you then had to cobble it all together into something readable for your top groups and executives in your organisation?
