While the report points to the work that needs to be done, it also highlights the importance of digitised resources to a range of sectors, including education and research.

Public Libraries--Books
Source: The Buffalo News
When a library closes, who gets the books?
"The rights to thousands of books are at the center of a controversy brewing in the Town of Tonawanda. In question are about 30,000 books remaining at the now-closed Brighton Library, one of 15 libraries shutting down by year's end to cut expenses in the Buffalo & Erie County Public Library system. A citizen group, Friends of the Brighton Library, hopes to use the Brighton Road building as a community reading room and wants all the materials left behind for public use. The town's Library Board, meanwhile, already has planned a one-day book sale at Brighton, with the proceeds to benefit the two cash-strapped libraries staying open in Tonawanda. Who should get the books?"

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?
