TITLE   : The concept of information overload: A review of literature from
          organization science, accounting, marketing, MIS, and related
          disciplines
JOURNAL : INFORMATION SOCIETY, 20 (5): 325-344 NOV-DEC 2004

ABSTRACT:
Based on literature from the domains of organization science,
   marketing, accounting, and management information systems, this review
   article examines the theoretical basis of the information overload
   discourse and presents an overview of the main definitions, situations,
   causes, effects, and countermeasures. It analyzes the contributions
   from the last 30 years to consolidate the existing research in a
   conceptual framework and to identify future research directions.
