Hiding in public: How the National Archives wants to open up its data to Americans » Nieman Journalism Lab The National Archives <http://www.archives.gov/> is sitting on massive amounts of information — from specs for NASA projects to geological surveys to letters from presidents. But there’s a problem: “These records are held hostage,” said Bill Mayer <https://twitter.com/bill_mayer>, executive for research services for the National Archives and Records Administration. “Hostage” might be a strong word for a organization responsible for 4.5 million cubic feet of physical documents and more than 500 terabytes of data, most which can be accessed online<http://www.archives.gov/research/search/>or by walking into one of their facilities around the country <http://www.archives.gov/locations/>. http://bit.ly/12jxo8I Source: http://www.niemanlab.org/2013/02/hiding-in-public-how-the-national-archives-wants-to-open-up-its-data-to-americans/ See if people are clicking on this link: http://bit.ly/12jxo8I+ Try the bitly.com sidebar to see who is talking about a page on the web: http://bitly.com/pages/sidebar -- Peter Kurilecz CRM CA [log in to unmask] Richmond, Va http://twitter.com/RAINbyte http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/RAINbyte/ http://paper.li/RAINbyte/rainbyte http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/archives/ http://pinterest.com/pakurilecz/records-management/ http://www.linkedin.com/in/peterakurilecz Information not relevant for my reply has been deleted to reduce the electronic footprint and to save the sanity of digest subscribers List archives at http://lists.ufl.edu/archives/recmgmt-l.html Contact [log in to unmask] for assistance To unsubscribe from this list, click the below link.
