British Library makes online progress
From the article, "The British Library is making good progress with its electronic services, although needs to become more 'customer friendly' in some key areas, according to the latest assessment by official auditors. The library, which holds over 150m items, has undergone enormous organisational change in order to offer its online services, but it needs to 'remain vigilant' to ensure that the benefits from its digital programme can be sustained, the National Audit Office says in its report."

Meet the Special Collections Librarians at Purdue University
From the article, "Oftentimes (people) don't even know we exist and we have so much about the history of Purdue," said Sammie Morris, assistant professor of library science and archivist. Morris, along with Katherine Markee, special collections librarian, works to both preserve the materials of the archives and help researchers find the facts that connect Purdue to history."

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.

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?
