Congratulations to Peter Suber, Open Access Tagging Project Celebrates 1st Anniversary

Simmons University, home of the Open Access Directory, points out the Open Access Tagging Project (OATP), that open access access expert and ResourceShelf friend, Peter Suber created in 2009, is celebrating its first anniversary today. Congrats and kudos Peter.

While we do our best to provide news of the big OA stories on ResourceShelf, the place to see them all is by utilizing the OATP. If open access is a topic you follow, you might want to think about becoming a contributor. This article that Peter wrote gives all of the details you'll ever need. The actual home page and place to find the feeds you want is here. Make sure to review the OATP links page as well as the FAQ.

We're also very happy that Peter every now and then finds worthwhile material for the OATP either via an email we send from RS HQ or by simply scanning ResourceShelf regularly.

Since open access is now a major topic in many areas of the library world and frequently discussed in journals, blogs, and conferences, it's a topic worth spending some time with and the OATP is THE place to begin.

One more time. Congrats to Berkman Center at Harvard Fellow and so much more (scroll to the "current positions" heading, when does he sleep?)) Peter Suber.

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?

Tuesday, 22nd May 2012

Alacra Compliance saves time by aggregating information from both free and fee-based sources and enabling users to conduct an accurate federated search across these sources (coined “simultaneous search” by Alacra).
