Just in Time for the Major League Playoffs and World Series: Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress Web Guide

Access the Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress Web Guide

From the Introduction:

Baseball Resources at the Library of Congress is a [new] guide [released on September 25, 2009] to baseball resources available on the Library's Web site and in its physical collections. The breadth and depth of materials highlighted will appeal to baseball researchers, while casual and diehard fans alike will find many digitized items documenting the history of baseball to fuel their passion for the game.

The guide is divided into four major sections: Library of Congress Online Resources, which presents baseball materials freely available on the Library's Web site; Conducting Baseball Research at the Library, for researchers interested in locating baseball materials off-site through the Library's online catalog and on-site through the Library's subscription databases and divisional holdings; External Resources, a gateway to other baseball Web sites; and Bibliography, a selected bibliography of print resources about baseball for adults and younger readers.

This Web Guide was compiled by Peter Armenti, Digital Reference Specialist.

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?
