Full-Text Report, A Comparative Review of Common User Interface Software
In 2002 the National Library commissioned a report on common user interface software from the School of Information Management at Victoria University of Wellington. The paper, on common user interface software, has been presented in fulfillment of that course and is now available here. Any views or opinions presented in the report are solely those of the author and do not necessarily represent those of the National Library. The paper was written by Dr. Daniel Dorner and AnnMarie Curtis of the University of Wellington. The report runs 67 pages (pdf).

Special Librarians
"Opportunity in the Air"
From Andrew Richard Albanese's article, "In any career, there will always be things you can control, and things you can't. But for special librarians, it is getting a little hard to tell the difference. Work in a venerable corporate library, say at Time Inc. or perhaps the American Bankers Association, or more recently Chevron and Arthur Andersen, and one day you suddenly find yourself unemployed and packing boxes. Decide to get out of the library and bring your services directly into the organization, and you find out your boss thinks someone named Google is already doing your job. Just how is today's special librarian supposed to manage a career?

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

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?
