Just Published: Wellcome Library 'Year in Review' Published, Busiest Year to Date

From the Announcement:

This year the Wellcome Library is piloting an electronic-only offer for the 'Year In Review'. Much of the Library's work uses web 2.0 technologies, and the Review offers a perfect opportunity to showcase new services online.

The Library completed a number of major projects in 2009, including the digitisation of 17th- and early 18th-century recipe books and 3000 AIDS posters. Wellcome Film launched a YouTube channel, and the Library blog reached its first birthday.

There were plenty of Library events, including a new series of Medicine in Literature talks, with authors such as Samuel Johnson Prize winner Philip Hoare. The exhibition 'China Through the Lens of John Thomson' displayed 19th-century photographs from the collections, touring a number of locations in China, and has recently been on show in Liverpool. The Wellcome Image Awards celebrated its tenth round, honouring 13 scientists and artists behind 19 extraordinary images.

The 'Year In Review' also offers insights into new acquisitions made by the Library in 2009 and highlights the work of some of the 38 000 people who used the Library for research last year.

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?
