Resources of the Week
Three items for you this week.
1) Higher Education--United States--Database
Source: Council for Higher Education Accreditation
CHEA Institutional Database
The database lists approximately 6,500 institutions that are accredited by participating or recognized organizations of the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA) or are recognized by the United States Department of Education (USDE) as of 2000-2001. Each accrediting organization's list of institutions is prefaced by a brief description of the accredited status of the institutions on the list and the year for which the list is accurate. Search by name, state, or accrediting organization.

Military--Database
Air University Library's Index to Military Periodicals
"The Air University Library's Index to Military Periodicals is a subject index to significant articles, news items, and editorials from English language military and aeronautical periodicals. The Index contains citations since 1990 and is updated quarterly as the hard copy version of the AULIMP is released." This is not a full-text database, only bibliographic citations.
See Also: The Dudley Knox Library at the Naval Postgraduate School offers a very impressive collection of direct links that can save you time finding answers to many military related "ready reference" questions. Make sure to check out other pages in the Knox Library "Resources By Topic" Directory.

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?
