IORG announces Info Overload Resource Center!

Posted on July 25, 2012 · Posted in Uncategorized

IORG logoThe Information Overload Research Group has released today its Information Overload Resource Center. This is a crowd-sourced repository of articles and research related to Information Overload which is available at http://informationoverloadresources.com.

You are invited help us build up this repository of IO links.  Go to the above URL, register and submit your share to this communal work in progress! We need links to articles and resources about Information Overload and related issues such as interruptions, multitasking, attention management, and similar information management challenges.

We were guided by three principles in creating the resource center:

  • Anyone may contribute pointers to relevant resources.
  • The repository is professionally moderated, so posted resources are of  consistent relevance and quality.
  • It includes resources of every kind: research papers, books, media articles, blog posts, videos and web sites.

IORG is committed to help reduce the information pollution that is wreaking havoc on the productivity and quality of life of people everywhere; this Resource Center is our way to provide to the research, business, government and media communities—as well as to the interested public— a ‘one-stop shop’ portal to the growing corpus of research and insight about this major problem and how it may be solved.

The resource center is dedicated to the memory of Greg Spira, who was instrumental in its creation.
