New: Carnegie Mellon and Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Unveil Andrew Carnegie Collection Online

From the Announcement:

Carnegie Mellon University Libraries and the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh have created a joint digital archive of Andrew Carnegie materials on the Web at http://diva.library.cmu.edu/carnegie/. Integrating five physical collections in one searchable full text resource, the site demonstrates a larger vision, which is to facilitate and host a digital repository of Andrew Carnegie materials held by institutions worldwide. The inaugural Andrew Carnegie Collection online was funded by Library Services and Technology Act (LSTA) grants from 2007 to 2009.

"The Andrew Carnegie Collection not only includes interesting and plentiful source materials but represents a great opportunity to make a whole that truly is more than the sum of its parts," said Gabrielle V. Michalek, head of the Archives and Digital Library Initiatives Department at Carnegie Mellon University Libraries. "We look forward to getting feedback from users. We especially hope to hear from other Carnegie archivists who might wish to join us."

[Snip]

Users of the integrated Andrew Carnegie Collection will be able to access numerous photographs; listen to Carnegie speak; read his writings and other documents that detail his provision of libraries, church organs and scholarships, and his founding of Carnegie Tech; and the work of many Carnegie institutions. Digitization makes it possible for users to search and find related materials in all of the collections, and to see, hear, use and study them at any computer with Internet access.

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?

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.

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?
