Ged writes "Those librarian blogerati have done it again: they've just discovered 'The Cure for Information Overload'. It's a very elegant formula if you ask me, with obvious SRU/SRW applications, and maybe even TLA ramifications. I'm not sure about all of the conclusions, but it sure is an interesting theory."

    Look, it's the one day of the year that the Slashdot editors can get away with posting incoherent and/or unsubstantiated rubbish bearing little — if any — resemblance to the truth. So let them have their fun, OK?
