Search Briefs: Digitizing Books at the University of California; Our Friend Danny Sullivan; Bloglines wants to block private feeds from search

+ University of California May Join Google's Library Project (via LA Times)
NOTE: Interesting to see UC potentially getting involved with Google Book Search. As the article notes they already are partners in the Open Content Alliance which includes both Yahoo and Microsoft.

Heck, it wasn't even two months ago when the following news broke:

With collections totaling more than 34 million volumes in the more than 100 libraries on its 10 campuses, the University of California library is the largest research and academic library in the world. In addition, the University of Toronto’s library network, the largest in Canada, has more than 15 million holdings and is one of the top four research libraries in North America. These important collections will greatly expand the depth and breadth of content available through Windows Live Book Search.

+ USA Today Profiles Danny Sullivan
Personal Note from Gary who worked for 18 months as News Editor at SEW.
What the article doesn't mention is:
1) Danny is a wonderful human being. Period!
2) He was a great boss. I worked much more than I was asked to but when Danny chooses you, it's a responsibility I took very seriously. Plus, he was also great about letting ResourceShelf continue and flourish.
3) It was my honor and pleasure to work for him.
4) I'm honored to call him my friend and colleague (as well as the rest of the SEW team).
5) I'm thrilled and also honored that many ResourceShelf posts get linked to on SEW.
6) More personal thrills. At the upcoming SES show (next week), I'll be on a panel with Danny and Matt "Mick Jagger" Cutts.

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?


Click to view the article Alacra Compliance adds managerial oversight

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
