Lifehacks for Information Specialists

As information specialist we live a busy life. Among the many tasks we have is helping people find their way through huge amounts of available information, instructing them how to search, find and manage information or explain how some information systems or databases work. Most likely these tasks consume most of our time.

So why don’t we try to make our lives a little bit easier? There are plenty of on-line tools available. And  most of them are free! So why don’t we take advantage of the benefits offered to us through these Open Access channels. As information specilaists we should take the time to become familiar  with these unknown tools and apply these in our work places.
