Above the fold: RLG/OCLC newsletter

http://www.oclc.org/emailcontent/articles/programsresearch/abovethefold.htm

We know how busy you are. We know how hard it is to keep up let alone look beyond the usual horizon. We think our new serial publication:  Above the Fold can help you look farther more often with less work. We’re pleased to present the inaugural issue to you today.

This weekly current awareness compendium seeks to bring to your attention items of interest from beyond your normal reading sphere. It’s prepared by OCLC Programs and Research in partnership with IBIS Communications.

What are items of interest?  Our intent is to pull together articles that relate to the work of the RLG Partnership and the information context in which we’re all operating — but that you might not see in the course of your regular awareness routines.  Each citation will include a short annotation explaining why we think the article may be of interest to you.  And each note will be attributed to the staff member whose thoughts on the issue and its relevance can be tapped.  For those who are regular readers of our blog www.hangingtogether.org, you may start to see reactions to Above the Fold citations cropping up there as well. Join the conversation and share your thoughts, too.

Feel free to subscribe directly and to share it with anyone you think would find it useful.  Questions about our work or publications?  Drop a line to rlg@oclc.org and we’ll get in touch.

Best regards, Jim
