http://tinyurl.com/44ecr3 How to deal with information overload At RSA 2008 in San Francisco, Malcolm Gladwell — author of The Tipping Point and Blink — tells security professionals why too much information can impair judgement.

Noah
http://www.gen-9.net/ Noah is the first application to free your information from the separate "data islands" of your browser, email client, contact manager, file folders, schedule and RSS feeds. Noah bridges these currently divided data sources and makes it all accessible from a single interface. And your data is always available, online or offline. Imagine being able to find an email, a website, or a business presentation that's years old with a few clicks. Now imagine finding all of these items, and more, associated with a specific business trip, or project all at the same time and displayed on a single screen. That's the power of Noah. |

The group includes several school library media specialists from a variety of schools, and academic librarians. In an effort to provide students with the foundation needed for a successful transition from high school to college researching, the group developed a document called Library and Information Literacy Core Library Skills Grade 9-14+. It introduces a basic set of skills and specific grade levels for introductory and mastery achievement. Critical skill deficiencies are targeted. Presented as steps in the research process, the sequential model can be used as a guideline and teaching tool. |
