Three New Articles from IEEE Publications Of Interest to Info Pros

IEEE always makes a few articles available online at no charge. Recently, three articles were made available that will likely be of interest to the info pro.

+ Recommender Systems
4 pages, PDF.
Source: IEEE Intelligent Systems

+ Evolving the Link
Danny Ayers writes:

When the Web appeared, many in the hypertext community criticized it because of its simplifications. For a start, links that break easily went against conventional wisdom. Broken links were, in fact, designed in as a Web feature (think HTTP 404 error). Somewhat counterintuitively, this has made the system as a whole significantly more robust. A Web that relied on everyone ensuring that something was always at the end of their links would be seriously brittle and hardly likely to survive long, given human nature.

Critics also pointed to the limitations of links that pointed in only one direction and were untyped. The Web’s success has to a large extent overridden these criticisms without really proving them wrong. Ironically, it now seems that many of the early criticisms weren’t exactly incorrect per se, but merely shortsighted.

+ A Comparison of Presentation Methods for Reading on Mobile Phones

This study compares traditional scroll-based methods for reading text-based content on mobile phones with Rapid Serial Visual Presentation (RSVP), a method that displays words sequentially.

Note: In two cases the articles listed above are "introductory articles" to a special issue of a specific publication. In most cases, access to additional articles will require users to purchase them online or have a access to IEEE's Digital Library.

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?
