Guidelines for Borrowing and Lending Special Collections Materials for Exhibition
"These guidelines are written to encompass the needs of as wide a range of institutions and materials as possible. Although this document can offer no specific guidance in the matter, it is assumed that individual institutions will use common sense in applying these guidelines, taking into consideration such factors as rarity, fragility, and monetary value of the material being requested for exhibition.... Although the policies and practices of a number of the largest libraries in the United States, including the Library of Congress and the New York Public Library, were used to formulate these guidelines, it is assumed that smaller institutions will find these guidelines flexible and useful for their needs."

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
