Reference: New Web Guide from the Library of Congress: Richard Nixon

Kenneth Drexler, a Digital Reference Specialist at the Library of Congress, has created: Richard Nixon: A Resource Guide.

The digital collections of the Library of Congress contain a number of items associated with Richard Nixon. This resource guide compiles links to digital materials related to Nixon such as photographs, political cartoons, and documents that are available throughout the Library of Congress Web site. In addition, it provides links to external Web sites focusing on Nixon and a bibliography containing selected works for both a general audience and younger readers.

The guide is organized into three sections:

1. Library of Congress Resources
For example, using the much improved Prints & Photographs Online Catalog (PPOC) to find, "hundreds of digital images related to Kennedy such as prints, photographs, and political cartoons."

Search tips: Use the subject heading: Nixon, Richard M. (Richard Milhous), 1913 1994. You can find additional images but selecting the all search fields option and searching "Richard Nixon" as a phrase.

2. External Web Sites
An example of an external item would be a biographical article about Nixon from the Senate Historical Office.

3. Selected Bibliography
Includes works by Nixon; selected biographies; bibliographies; and books for young readers.

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?
