The Legend of Lost Links
"The many issues associated with reliable electronic access to mission critical information are numerous, but the problem of missing and changing URL addresses present a unique problem. It's been documented time and again throughout the various technology and information journals, but still has no apparent solution on the horizon." Thanks to Shelf Life for the link.

Scholarly Publishing
Source: Library Journal
Elsevier Articles Can Be Posted On Personal/Institutional Sites
From the article, "Reed Elsevier will allow authors who submit articles for publication in its STM journals to make the research freely available on their personal or institutional web sites. Papers can appear on such sites, in their final versions as accepted by the journal, before publication in Elsevier titles. However, authors are still prohibited from putting links to their articles from centralized databases. Said Arie Jongejan, CEO, science and technology, Elsevier, 'Several years ago, we supported the development of pre-print servers by deciding papers posted to such servers would not be viewed as 'prior submissions.' Furthermore, following Elsevier's publication of papers, we have not required the removal of pre-print versions from pre-print servers. But we have gone even further than that: for several years we have permitted authors to post their final version as accepted on secure, internal institutional networks. Today, we have taken an important step, which demonstrates our continued support for scholarly communications.'"

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?

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.

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?
