Knowledge, Learning, Community
This is a pretty good article that reviews some of the hard earned lessons about information retrieval learned during the recent dot crash. Some of them - the futility of hierarchical classifications, for example, or the importance of the Bradford Distribution (though I didn't know it was called that (see, I don't know everything!)) - I have learned through my own experience designing OLDaily. Others posit good suggestions I may employ in future iterations of the newsletter.
