TagCrowd - make your own tag cloud from any text

  • What is TagCrowd?

    TagCrowd is a web application for visualizing word frequencies in any user-supplied text by creating what is popularly known as a tag cloud or text cloud.

    It was created by Daniel Steinbock, a doctoral student in Design and Education at Stanford University.

    Today, text clouds are primarily used for navigation and visualization on Web 2.0 sites that employ user-generated metadata (tags) as a categorization scheme. (Flickr is a good example.)

  • The systematic review teaching materials consists of four units.

    Guide to using the learning units

    The Units are aimed at undergraduates preparing for their final project or dissertation. Postgraduates in library and information science should also find the materials relevant to their research training. The Units complement, but do not replace existing research methods modules. Students should remember to consult their own departmental guidelines on literature reviewing as well.

Pioneering research shows ‘Google Generation’ is a myth

  • Pioneering research shows ‘Google Generation’ is a myth

    16 January 2008

    All age groups revealed to share so-called ‘Google Generation' traits
    New study argues that libraries will have to adapt to the digital mindset
    Young people seemingly lacking in information skills; strong message to the government and society at large
    A new study overturns the common assumption that the ‘Google Generation' – youngsters born or brought up in the Internet age – is the most web-literate. The first ever virtual longitudinal study carried out by the CIBER research team at University College London claims that, although young people demonstrate an apparent ease and familiarity with computers, they rely heavily on search engines, view rather than read and do not possess the critical and analytical skills to assess the information that they find on the web.

OpenDoc Society - Home

  • Open Document Format (ODF) is an OASIS/ISO-standardised, vendor neutral file format that enables cross-platform collaboration between people and many different types of applications - from Office suites to server software. ODF is mature, future-proof and clean - as well as very versatile and user friendly. It provides a drop-in replacement for historically more troublesome proprietary file formats such as .doc, .wpd, .xls and .rtf. An increasing number of governments - such as the Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Brazil and Denmark - are moving away from such single vendor-based file formats and have started using this international open standard. Be part of the revolution and join OpenDoc Society.
