New report reveals open access could reduce cost of scientific publishing by up to 30 per cent
From the announcement, "A report out today shows that making scientific research available free on the Internet could wipe as much as 30 per cent off publishing costs. The Wellcome Trust report shows for the first time that the open access model of scientific publishing - where the author of a research paper pays for peer reviewed research to be made available on the web free to all who wish to use it - is economically viable, guarantees high quality research and is a sustainable option which could revolutionise the world of traditional scientific publishing."

Handbook of Federal Librarianship (PDF; 724 KB)
"The Federal Librarians Handbook is written for professional librarians and is therefore not intended as a manual to instruct you on how to be a librarian. Instead it focuses on the federal angle of otherwise standard practices and procedures of good librarianship. A topic was omitted if it was determined not to have anything uniquely federal about it. An exception was made for the chapter on copyright because it remains a challenging and continuously developing topic for all librarians.... We have made a concerted effort not to reinvent the wheel by duplicating what is already available elsewhere.... Therefore, this handbook provides only brief treatment of the main points of a topic with many hypertext links to Web sites for detail coverage and references to print publications.... An additional comprehensive listing with even more hypertext links and complete bibliographic citations to print publications is provided in the Resources chapter at the end of the handbook."

Thursday, 24th May 2012

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.


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).
