Web 2.0 : the empowerment of the Librarian (and the User)

An empowerment session called "Web 2.0" promises to look into Web 2.0 possibilities in relation to librarianship. Of course best practices, opportunities and limitations are a good part of this session, as well as a look at the excisting tools involving EAHIL. 
But should we use this term Web 2.0 any longer? The students and the younger staff members are brought up with Web Technologies. They don't see Web 2.0 as a seperate phenomenon, but as intergrated features. They use them, just because they are there. What role can / should the library play inside an organisation regarding availability of and access to web technologies?

The session will be finished off with a glance at emerging technologies and the possible relevance for libraries. 

As Web 2.0 revolves all around communication, sharing and interaction your input in this session is needed to discuss and exchange experiences within our EAHIL community.

Summon & PubMed : an update

"

In a recent demo of Summon at the University of Groningen Library we tested some medical search terms, users would likely to be entering when they are discovering what a tool that promises "One Search Box, Your library discovered" or "One search engine, one search, no stress"

The rather stupid search "heart attack" (but is to be expected by starting new med students expecting a google-like framework and no serious search experience for scientific information) does give you really terrible results, especially when you forget to choose to:

• Limit to articles from scholarly publications, including peer-review or
• Exclude Newspaper Articles
  (thank you Wichor Bramer for the search tip, and @Dympie about Scopus still using "heart attack" as example search)

Bad results from the perspective of the medical librarian in a academic setting who expects students and staff to turn up with Pubmed records.
Having seen a Ebsco Discovery Services (EDS) they day before, I was expecting to at least see that some records came from PubMed.
But much  to my surprise Pubmed seemed not to be included in Summon, no MESH-term turned up at first view. here is a list of all resources and titles they "(dis)cover"
At that session it could not be cleared or explained completely, so I asked  Ronald van Dieen to  find out more.
Here is his answer of today:
"Currently they (Summon) are addding PubMed records to the index, but it seems to take a long time. What is included is the ProQuest CSA Medline which has a completly different coverage and metadata than PubMed. "
To be continued ...
