The American Civil War Online: Free Access Through June 30 From Alexander Street Press

The American Civil War Online: Free Access Through June 30
From e-mail:

Alexander Street Press is pleased to announce the beta release of our newest online Civil War collection: Images of the American Civil War: Photographs, Posters, and Ephemera. This deeply indexed collection of 70,000 contemporaneous images lets you easily find and view images covering casualties, home life, prisons, hospitals, weaponry, transportation, political and military leaders, and more. Search for images associated with a particular battle or campaign; find images by place, photographer, or publisher; or locate pictures by setting (interior, exterior, or studio photographs). This collection has been designed to meet the needs of history scholars and researchers.

The current beta release features just a small sample of what the collection will soon offer. Most of the photographs in Images of the American Civil War will be rare, previously unpublished, and never before available online; and all are deeply indexed, carefully represented in high resolution, and cross-searchable for the first time.

As part of our comprehensive Civil War package, The American Civil War Online, access to the beta version of Images of the American Civil War is freely available through June 30th. No registration is required and you can begin your research immediately.

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?
