National Library of New Zealand Releases 2010-2015 Digitisation Plan

From the National Library of New Zealand Announcement:

The Library has developed the Digitisation Strategy 2010-2015 to bridge the gap between the level of access to its print and analogue collections, and the new expectations of customer access in the digital world. It explains how our digitisation programmes will satisfy the needs of current and future users.

The strategy outlines three major digitisation programmes within the Library:

+ Digitisation for access will concentrate on providing remote access to New Zealand’s documentary heritage and taonga collections in a digital world.

+ Digitisation for preservation will focus on using digitisation to meet preservation goals, and particularly to migrating the intellectual content of at-risk collection items when the physical object is deteriorating.

+ Digitisation for customers and donors will continue its practice of digitising materials for customers and donors upon request.

When this strategy is implemented the Library will hold a digital duplicate of many of its heritage items. These will be easily accessible for all to view, allowing original items to be safely stored. This will support the Library’s role of maintaining and preserving the original collections for future generations, and customers, both here and overseas, will be able to search and use the Library’s collections in many new ways.

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?
