Webcast: Architectures for Collaboration: Roles and Expectations for Digital Libraries in the Now

Architectures for Collaboration: Roles and Expectations for Digital Libraries in the Now
An archived version is now online. Registration (free) is required. The presentation was recorded on January 30, 2007.

The collective expertise of digital libraries in making available the diverse literatures of science and artistic expression, in concert with the increasing sophistication of commercial partners and the development of distributed, interactive forms of publishing, require libraries to chart the engineering of new architectures for teaching, learning, and research. Digital libraries must work to forge the new collaborations required to enable and build these services.

Guest Speaker: Peter Brantley

Peter Brantley is responsible for the development and management of the technical infrastructure and the technical staff supporting the California Digital Library (CDL) operations. In partnership with the UC campus library staff and the wider digital library community, he also oversees development of new technologies and provides leadership in establishing a technical research agenda. Brantley joined the CDL in 2003. His background includes significant experience with research libraries and digital library development programs. Before coming to CDL, he was the director of information technology services for the Division of Libraries and NYU Press at New York University. He previously worked in academic IT director positions at UCSF and UC Berkeley, and long ago worked as a systems analyst with Random House.

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?
