Graduation and Weekly roundup

It's be lovely this week to see so many happy students graduating and celebrating with their families. Congratulations to you all and good luck with the future.

First a technology update. This article looks at how much money Google makes from adverts and how this influences their search algorithms. It also looks at how they are adapting to mobile and tablet searching. Remember if you want searches uninfluenced by marketing, you can always use Summon or search our library databases directly. Another FT.com article looks at a new collaboration between IBM and Apple to make tablets more business friendly and focused. This article on Lego's success is interesting, focusing on the increasing amount of time Children spend engaging in 'digital play'. More serious is the first in a series of articles focusing on water shortage in the world and how the will affect business and the world in general. A serious, fascinating and alarming read.

Finally as helpful little blog on using tweetdeck for research and advanced news gathering.
