Australia: National Archives: Watch Moving Image Material Online from australianscreen online

From a Web Page:

The National Film and Sound Archive’s australianscreen online is an interactive web-based resource that provides access to a wide variety of moving image material. It encompasses nearly 1400 Australian feature films, documentaries, advertisements and television programs from the last 110 years. The titles contained within australianscreen online are sourced from the National Film and Sound Archive and its collection partners – the National Archives, the ABC, SBS and the Australian Institute of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Studies.

A diverse selection of titles from the National Archives, dating from the late 1930s to the 1990s, can be viewed on australianscreen online. This selection contains films about nuclear tests, banking and military operations. Specific titles include Where Giants Meet (a 1948 film used to recruit high country bushmen to work on the Snowy Mountains Scheme) and Olympic Post Script (a 1956 film highlighting the telecommunications services set up for the 1956 Olympic Games, with rarely seen footage of the sporting events). Also of note is Holt – Film Re-enactment of the Circumstances Surrounding the Disappearance of the PM, Victorian Police footage from 1967 re-creating the unexplained disappearance of Prime Minister Harold Holt.

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?
