My company, a professional services firm, suffers more than most because of a couple of infrastructure problems that arose from a couple of mergers.I've been trying to get my colleagues to acknowledge that attacking our information overload problem will improve our overall knowledge sharing collaboration efforts and also contribute to our bottom line.

I only read the articles that look relevant or interesting and its saved heaps of time. Of course I still have to log into my local library server to get the actual article since I don't subscribe to each journal individually, but it keeps me up to date with my field.
