Information Overabundance: What We Don’t Know, We Don’t Know
A few months ago, Peter Shepherd, Project Director at Project COUNTER, asked me to contribute an article to Against The Grain (librarians, publishers and vendors) for their Special Issue on Metrics – The Importance of Being Measured. I wrote about article level metrics at SSRN and how we view the changing world of information overabundance. [...]
Riding Two Surfboards, Historically Speaking
Robert B. Townsend, assistant director for research and publications at the American Historical Association (AHA), wrote about the recent AHA survey exploring the current state of new media in their field. The findings are a very good example of what we’ve been seeing across the Humanities at SSRN; a large percentage of users with general [...]
Social Sciences’ “23 Hardest Problems”
Image via Wikipedia I received a call from Nick Nash, Indira Foundation, a few minutes ago telling me about a very interesting symposium tomorrow. Harvard University’s Division of Social Science in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences along with the Indira Foundation are convening a symposium of multidisciplinary experts to identify the world’s hardest unsolved [...]

How Do We Make Open Access More Accessible?
In the November 2002 Open Archives Forum’s Interim Review of Organisational Issues, a concern was raised about Europe’s role in adopting Open Archives Initiative’s (OAI) protocols and standards because of “the preponderance of U.S. members, and the dependence on U.S. sources of funding for the OAI.” This concern appears to have been met head on [...]

A Beacon for the Future: 21st Century Libraries
When John Palfrey wrote his keynote for this year’s Computer Assisted Legal Instruction’s (CALI) 19th Annual Conference for Law School Computing about the legal education revolution, I doubt he included anything about the technological revolution occurring in Iran.

Engagement Not Enrichment. Imagination Not Incorporation.
