Web 2.0 Lunch meeting AMC Library Team

The presentation is partly in Dutch, but it shows "The Order of Things" as they have developed themselves for me. Here's a small resume in English with some links.

It all started with creation of a Library Toolbar, back in 2005, then dissecting that into functionality-chunks i.e. html searchboxes, rss-feeds, chatboxes. Here is a post about
"37 ways To Adjust Your Library Toolbar (or any Conduit Toolbar)"
The need to control and manage those boxes widgets in Eco-Netvibes.com and Widgetbox.com
Offering those widgets and RSS-feeds in Public Pages from Netvibes.com as a sort of Take-Away service
Distributing library services and content into Social and Virtual Networks was next:

Latest focus is on how to "control" the browser of the user, and find ways to give them tools to adjust or personalize this browser for them.

Going Mobile is my Theme for this year as well as a focus on Virtual Research Networks.
The connection with this overview is that it all started with a great presentation of Lorcan Dempsey at the 34th LIBER in Groningen about the User Environment (as well as stimulating conversations with former colleague Ingrid Riphagen ...) The last slide of this presentation is his. And I am enormously looking forward meeting him again at the EMTACL10 (Emerging Technologies in Academic Libraries) Conference in Trondheim where he will be a keynote speaker. And guess what .. Ingrid Riphagen is working there now too!

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

Here a short overview of all new updates around the Journal apps we are supporting. Personally I am most excited about the anouncements of " docwise " making big steps to keep up with BrowZine & Read (Integration -"Open in"- with Dropbox, Evernote and more, save and email full text articles), but making a hug jump with unique features, like shareable Folders with docwise users ánd a RSS reader feature (boldly called Google Reader replacement!). Bring it on! BrowZine : just published the Android Version of their App to which the CMB UMCG now has a subscription. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

KOPERNIO extension to find PDF's : plus Open Access button, Unpaywall, Google Scholar and Connect UPDATED!

UPDATE: Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF: http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008 (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This new company has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free. The previous name appeared to be a tribute to the #ICANHAZPDF movement (requesting pdf's via Twitter with this hashtag). ...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that.... Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com. With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things : the base url string for the RSS feed: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For Inuit Art Zone the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
