Resources of the Week
Two entries this time around.
1) Hoaxes and Scams

Simple, useful, and a real time-saver! This page offers easy access to five searchable archives from well-known sources containing hoax, virus, and urban legend information. Here's a list of what you can search for at the Purportal.Com page:

2) Health Information--Collection Development
The Weekly MEDLINEPlus E-Mail Announcement List
MEDLINEPlus from the National Library of Medicine is a top choice for authoritative health information. The MEDLINEPlus E-Mail Announcement List (weekly) will notify you of all new MEDLINEPlus resources (we mention some on ResourceShelf) including new "Health Topic" compilations. Each update also contains DIRECT LINKS to all of the underlying resources added to each health topic page during the previous week. This is a "must have" for anyone interested in web-based health material and/or building a local collection of this type of information. To subscribe, simply go to this page and select the MEDLINEPLUS-NEW box. If you would like to see what the updates look like, I've posted a couple of them here.

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?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
