Social Media Will Play Major Role at IFLA 2010

The World Library and Information Congress: 76th IFLA General Conference and Assembly (IFLA 2010) begins eights days in Gothenburg, Sweden.

The IFLA 2010 Social Info Page Can be Found at: http://2010.ifla.org/

From An Announcement:

This year IFLA will be using social media to help make the most of your experience at this year's World Library and Information Congress in Gothenburg, Sweden. During the Conference!

Here you'll find all official IFLA news and can stay updated on the congress programme (highlights, room changes, etc.). All you need to do is to connect your laptop or smart phone to the free WI-FI network in the Congress Centre and visit the website regularly.

In case you didn't bring your own laptop, you will find PCs in the conference centre with dedicated access to the conference website. So visit the website to view news and opinions, to enjoy pictures and videos, or to browse the blogs and tweets.

Apart from the news and information on the conference website, a brief summary of main conference news will be distributed everyday in paper. This summary and all official IFLA news will be provided in each of IFLA's seven languages.

Do you have a Twitter account or a blog? Do you want to share your photos with other conference participants? Join the IFLA experience and share your experiences with everyone!

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?
