Library issues 48 pink slips
"The reality of budget cuts at the Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County hit home this week in the form of pink slips for 48 employees. The majority of jobs being eliminated are in the main library's government and public documents departments, where all 28 employees got notices that their jobs will disappear June 30, Executive Director Kimber Fender said. About half as many jobs will be re-created in a new, combined department, and the employees can apply for those."

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?
