FreePint's new categories developed for easier access to articles in VIP and FUMSI on information tools and strategies provide an excellent definition and introduction to this space. Content managemnent, taxonomy, intranet are only three.


From Big Data Discovery, by Michelle Manafy, Freepint (March 2012)

"It is with this in mind that here at FreePint we are introducing a range of discovery tools to improve our users' ability to determine quickly which information resources are likely to be of value to meet individual needs. First among these is the introduction of FreePint Categories, which provide both solution-oriented (Industry Topics) and job-related (Functional Areas) categorisation. These categories will also be visible with abstracts of articles, to help users more quickly skim and find content worth clicking through and reading (or sharing with staff). These categories draw content from across the entire FreePint family of resources and each category has its own RSS feed so that users can create more targeted content alerts."
