Open Access Journals: revenue beyond author charges
"This page will attempt to outline the current pricing models that are being tested for supporting Open Access to electronic journals. My definition of open access is: freely available immediate access to published peer reviewed research articles. The untenable journal inflation situation is described on the Journal Cost Update web page. There are a number of elements that influence (or hinder) open access distribution of the scientific research literature:
+ copyright (intellectual property) restrictions,
+ for-profit activities, and
+ the underlying publish-or-perish pressure.
The major concern of the community should be maintaining a revenue stream to support the peer review process."

Librarians--Canadian--United States

Canadian Librarians in America
"This page is especially for all of those intrepid Canadian Librarians who have chosen to move temporarily to the United States under the provisions of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). Some of us have been unable to find entry level jobs in our provinces, some have chosen to retire in the south and work part-time in the US, and some of us have simply decided that it was much more beneficial �- to both our career paths and our bank accounts �- to move south. Whatever our reasons, moving to a new country is never as easy as we think it will be. This site is designed to provide information to those considering the move, and to support those of us already down here!" Offers legal information, a list of U.S. libraries that have hired Canadian librarians, job-hunting advice, "tips for the newly arrived".

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?
