Digitization Projects: NYS Digital Collections--Gov't Publications Web Site

Digitization Projects: NYS Digital Collections--Gov't Publications Web Site

The following "how to" was written by ResourceShelf contributor and the editor of the amazing (a top labor news resource) IWS Documented News Service, Stuart Basefsky.

Unfortunately at this site, the links that are attached to a sequence or pathway (such as those in the original message) time out. Consequently to get to the material listed below, one has to do the following:
(1) Go to --
Excelsior: New York State Library/Archives/Museum Catalog

(2) Click on the button as the bottom entitled, SEARCH DIGITAL COLLECTIONS This should take you to a page on which the Third Button at the Top says, BROWSE

(3) Click on the BROWSE button. This will take you to a page where one of the collections listed will be NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS.

(4) Click on NEW YORK STATE GOVERNMENT PUBLICATIONS

To reach specific documents like labor materials:
(5) Click on EXECUTIVE BRANCH
(6) Then click on LABOR
Following the same logic, one will find the material listed below.

(A) "New York State Government Publications" (including Regents exams from 1957 through the current year) which include
EXECUTIVE, JUDICIAL, and LEGISLATIVE DOCUMENTS and DATA.

(B) "New York State Library Scanned Documents Collection" (including scanned monographs and selected broadsides, maps, manuscripts, and scores from the Library's Manuscripts and Special Collections).

Click to view the article Quilting big data threads
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
Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

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).
