Book Review: The Librarian
Oh no, here we go again. Thanks to Genie for letting us know about a NYT book review that has some (and incorrect) things to say about libraries and librarians. We're trying to stay calm after reading this, but it's tough.

DG Research Team Is Developing a Digital Interpreter
"QUALEG is a classic example of the challenges Europe faces as it creates a multi-national federated system. The countries directly involved are Poland, France and Germany. That means integrating documents written in at least three languages, most likely four, since many European documents also have English versions. It means combining different legacy software as well. It is a where-do-you-start nightmare, as tricky as trying to re-fold a map in a convertible on the Autobahn. One of the first steps in the process is the creation of an ontology, a cross-lingual thesaurus that provides a thematic structure for all the terms one is likely to encounter. Ontologies need to be semantically sensitive: 'bank' near 'river' means something quite different from 'bank' near 'teller'."

Thursday, 24th May 2012

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?
