Resource of the Week -- Quick Guide to Military Information

Resource of the Week: Quick Guide to Military Information
By Shirl Kennedy, Senior Editor

I've just completed a major update of a resource I've been maintaining for several years. Though it is not a glitzy resource by any stretch of the imagination, I thought it would also be helpful to share this Quick Guide to Military Information as a Resource of the Week. Unless you work with military information on a regular basis, it is can often be frustrating to find what you need.

What's here? Links to resources that provide the type of information I often need. Everything here -- at least right now -- is freely accessible on the open Web; all of these links were functional from my network at home. That being said, there are at least a few sections on some of these websites that are not open to the general public.

This guide is divided into nine sections:

Note that the International Interest section contains a few items that are not specifically "military" in nature, but I've found them to be useful in the past, for ready reference.

The image repositories are particularly interesting. Unless otherwise specified, all DoD images are in the public domain, although you should credit the photographer for anything you use. You'll also find audio and video on some servers. For example, check out this "Sounds From the Department of Defense" link. Who knew?

At any rate, enjoy...and please don't hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions.

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?
