Product Reviews
I appreciate one of NoteScribe's taglines: Save a Forest, NoteScribe It! because it advocates saving paper by taking and storing notes online. But I'd add another phrase: Save your Sanity, NoteScribe It! because this excellent program allows you to organize your notes by categories, keywords, and sources; add files from a variety of formats; and find your notes quickly and painlessly.

When I reviewed Referenceware by Books24x7, I felt like a kid in a candy store. As a former reference librarian and a lifelong knowledge junkie, I loved having quick access to a wide variety of quality reference material from my computer. On an enterprise level, Referenceware is a great way to provide employees with the information they need, when they need it and where they need it.

You can't read a story or watch a broadcast report about the news business without hearing dire predictions of how bad things are. Yet while so many people are focused on the bad news, both Politico.com and TMZ.com, in just a very short time, have built major media companies. So what makes these two upstarts so successful while stalwarts lay off staff and struggle to say in the black?

If memory serves, the digital revolution was offered up to us as a great new driver of efficiency. Even at the most basic level of owning a PC, we were told that these new machines would organize our records and even clarify our ways of thinking. Really? Has anyone looked behind my desk lately?

As SLA examines what info pros are valued for within their organizations, it has become clear that the value of info pros is our ability to provide strategic information when, where, and how it is needed. It's not what we know or what we do with what we have access to-it's that we can add value to the entire decision-making process.

I am now living through the third wave of arguments for fee-based digital content models in the decade and a half I have covered the internet publishing world. The inevitable response to the dual forces of recessionary ad decline and the more tectonic and irreversible shift to digital has been: "Make 'em pay." Almost everyone on the consumer side of the fence is talking about "hybrid" models and "pay areas." It is hard to listen to such a conversation without someone dropping "the iTunes precedent" as an argument that both micropayment mechanisms and consumer attitudes have turned the corner on this issue. People are ready to underwrite the costly content industry. They see the ugly alternative (bad or shallow content), and they are more willing to put a cash value on digital media now.
