FUMSI Magazine: 17
9th May 2009
FIND: Text-based information is fast ceding ground to audio and video content in the enterprise, and traditional search engines can't always keep up. Cindy Shamel provides a real-life comparison of the best video and audio search tools available, along with
some that are just for fun (for now anyway!).
USE: Even when the economy is booming, information professionals are called to prove their
value over 'DIY' research on the Internet. But, with global economic contraction, comes
even more pressure to quantify the value that info pros provide. Dennie Heye describes
different aspects of 'perceived value' and how to show ROI to management.
MANAGE: In Part One of this series, Patrick Walsh talked about the reasons for unmet potential
in intranet design and points the way forward to more effective intranet design.
Moving the ball forward, this article focuses on the concept of the 'Lean Intranet', one
that removes barriers, minimises and assesses content and takes a customer-focused
approach.
SHARE: Last month, Malcolm Coles looked at the rise of search engines and their impact on
finding online information in context. This month, he turns his lens on five social media
sites (Twitter, Digg, Reddit, StumbleUpon and Delicious) to explain how they can make
sharing that information easier.
