Information Research
“The Martian” Matt Damon’s final speech (spoiler ahead) is a survival lesson
“…At some point, everything’s gonna go south on you and you’re going to say, this is it. This is how I end. Now you can either accept that, or you can get to work. That’s all it is. You just begin. You do the math. You solve one problem and you solve the next one, and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home…”
This is the best way to avoid anxiety and can be applied in everyday life. Furthermore, contents curators needs this way of thinking is the path to project development success.

Desarrolla un mapa del conocimiento sobre el proyecto, qué quiere el cliente, a qué disciplinas corresponde, las relaciones entre ellas y qué tipo de información resolverá las sucesivas etapas del proyecto. En cada resultado general del buscador, ve a la fuente y de ahí a la siguiente. Hay que estudiar la fuente, su solvencia y su calidad informativa, filtrar y depurar. Esto es lo único que lleva a buenos contenidos que generan conocimiento. Lleva mucho tiempo, pero es aquí donde los resultados se pueden diferenciar del resto.
Use the knowledge map to design project context. If you want to achieve high quality information retrieval you have to vet information sources, analyze and confirm reliability. This is how we get actionable insights.
“…You solve one problem and you solve the next one, and then the next. And If you solve enough problems, you get to come home…”
Information retrieval defines state-of-the-art and you get to come home, project development is on the way.
