More Treasure for Jazz Aficionados from the Library of Congress: Another Set of Images from the Gottlieb Jazz Photos Collection Now Available via Flickr
At the beginning of August the first set of images (219 to be precise) from the William P. Gottlieb Jazz Photos collection at the Library of Congress were made available on Flickr. Since then another set of 200+ images were uploaded.
We should also mention again that the entire Gottlieb Collection entered the public domain in February, 2010. However, "...rights of privacy and publicity may apply. Privacy and publicity rights protect the interests of the person(s) who may be the subject(s) of the work or intellectual creation. Users of photographs in the Gottlieb collection are responsible for clearing any privacy or publicity rights associated with the use of the images."
Today, more images from the collection were added to the LC's Flickr stream and blogged about here.
This week’s set is particularly varied, with classic portraits of Duke Ellington, Billy Eckstine, Tommy Dorsey, Doris Day, Nat “King” Cole, and Perry Como. In addition to these portraits are photos taken at one of the jazz sessions Atlantic Records producer Ahmet Ertegun arranged at the Turkish Embassy in Washington, D.C.
Finally, we learn that every other Friday for the time being new images from the Gottlieb Collection will be uploaded until the entire collection of approx. 1600 images are available on Flickr.

Recently I have found myself cooing over visualisation maps (and heat maps) of health and well being resources. The content rich data is overlayed with mapping technologies, and some interesting themes and patterns are emerging.
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?
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.
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?
