Digital Preservation: American Geophysical Union to Preserve E-Journals in Portico

From the Announcement:

Portico (www.portico.org) is pleased to announce that it has entered into an agreement with the American Geophysical Union (AGU) to preserve 10 online journals. Through this agreement with Portico, AGU ensures that these journals will be preserved and available for future scholars, researchers, and students.

The American Geophysical Union, which was established in 1919 by the National Research Council, is a nonprofit organization that promotes the study of the geophysical sciences. AGU's publications, which are available in more than 135 countries and nearly 2,000 libraries, include peer-reviewed scientific journals, a member newspaper, and award-winning books.

As part of the agreement, AGU will make an annual financial contribution to Portico to support its preservation activities. AGU has also named Portico as a mechanism to fill post-cancellation access claims.

With the inclusion of AGU's 10 online journals, over 10,700 e-journals and 34,000 e-books from 92 publishers on behalf of over 2,000 societies and associations have now been entrusted to the Portico archive. The complete list of titles and participating publishers is available at www.portico.org.

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?
