12th December 2013
The technology which underpins discovery engine InfoNgen is discussed in the third part of Yulia Aspinall's review. InfoNgen is also known as a news aggregation system; its workflow automation can eliminate a huge amount of the "heavy lifting" of manually searching through multiple sources, reading them, cutting/pasting/emailing, aggregating them together, formatting, and publishing, and hence save researchers time and make their work more effective and productive. Export options include custom newsletters which can be delivered manually or automatically via email or RSS feed.

What Affects the Adoption of New Technology?
10th December 2013
I read a lot of articles and blog posts about how successful some companies, including law firms, have been when implementing social and other technologies. But I also read a lot of tweets and posts from individuals, including intranet managers, who have been frustrated by the lack of adoption or engagement with their latest tool or application. There are a number of reasons why technologies aren’t adopted, which has led me to believe that fear of change might be significant in blocking uptake of new software and services.
