A New Feature (in Beta) from The Wayback Machine

The Internet Archive
A New Feature (in Beta) from The Wayback Machine
In Beta is a new feature that allows you to take any archived page that you access via The Wayback Machine* and quickly convert the html web page into a pdf file. Here's how to get it working.
1) You Must Use the Advanced Interface
2) Enter the URL you're looking for but before hitting the search button, select the "Convert to PDF" option. It's the last option listed on the page.
3) Example: A search for archived pages from http://www.ifla.org
4) Located next to each entry, on the results page, you'll see a button labeled "PDF". Select the desired page and click. Now, enter your e-mail address and click convert. In a matter of minutes, a pdf of the selected web page will be sent as an attachment direct to your e-mail.
* The Wayback Machine, part of the Internet Archive, is a searchable archive of over 10 billion web pages back to 1996.
See Also: DocMorph and MyMorph
A free service from the National Library of Medicine that will convert many document types (it recognizes 50 formats) on your computer to a pdf document. Make sure to also take a look at a free desktop app called MyMorph. It makes converting docs even easier.

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?
