Preservation: Center for Research Libraries (CRL) Partners with Major Law Libraries Consortium

From the Announcement:

Through a new partnership with the Law Library Microform Consortium (LLMC), CRL will expand the scope of its preservation activities and make new primary source digital collections available to CRL libraries. Under this partnership, CRL and LLMC will work together to identify, preserve, and provide digital access to important at-risk primary sources in the fields of international law, government, and politics.

A joint CRL-LLMC committee will guide identification of collections for digitization, which will be drawn from CRL as well as other important repositories. These new additions will support the interests of CRL libraries and augment CRL’s collection strengths in area and international studies, such as African legal materials. LLMC has access to a large body of material listed in the bibliography Common Law Abroad, which document the heritage of constitutional and legal regimes in former British territories and colonies, including British Africa.

Starting August 16, all CRL libraries will have access to the online LLMC-Digital database, which includes over 20 million pages of legal and government-related materials from all world regions, will be available to researchers at CRL libraries. Researchers and librarians from the CRL community can login at http://www.llmc-digital.org to explore this content and its rich potential for interdisciplinary research. After the initial year, CRL will propose terms of continued access to the materials for interested CRL libraries.

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?

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).
