ResourceShelf's Virtual Magazine / Serial Newsstand #1
Note: Visit any large bookstore or neighborhood newsstand (if you're fortunate to have one) and you'll constantly see new periodicals. Yes, even in this electronic age, people still want and love paper.
What follows is a brief, selective list with links to some periodical web sites (and related content) that we haven't mentioned before. Most of these publications have been around for a period of time but have escaped mention here. In a nutshell, three types of sites exist:
1) Some/all of the text is available in other cases with or without bonus content.
2) Gobs of bonus "web only" content can be accessed (often for free).
3) Only overview/subscription info.
We hope this list (the first in a new ResourceShelf collection) proves useful. More to come.

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?
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.
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?
