"Science 2.0 : Trends, tools and tips"
The intro to the course is:
Science is changing. Science 2.0 influences the personal & workflow of researchers, clinicians and students.
This workshop introduces new web-technologies and trends in communication, collaboration, searching, managing & sharing of information.
Practical tips to improve your efficiency in work and/or study.
The focus will be on:

MedlinePlus Toolbar
The MedlinePLus Toolbar is the next toolbar in the range of the 9 NLM Toolbars currently available that is as good as finished. I think it's ready to go "beta" and see if people like it.
MedlinePLus Toolbar can be added to your browser as a whole, or in parts, as an app.
New app: the Search cloud in Chrome as extension. Try it from:http://digicmb.blogspot.com/ orhttp://nlmtoolbars.blogspot.com/
To follow: the search widget as Chrome extension

Emerging Technology in Medical and Health Information. MedLib's Round September 2010
The theme of this Round is: Emerging Technology in Medical and Health Information.
Due to a very low amount of submissions I feel obliged to write some post around the theme and the few submitted contributions.
I asked the colleagues specifically out there to post on the theme ánd comment on my Continuing Education Course (CEC) at EAHIl 2010 that was totally focussed on this theme, and help me that way keeping this public course up to date at :http://www.netvibes.com/emergingtechnologiesinlibraries.
The course touched emerging technology issues relevant for academic and medical libraries & librarians.
Is it the holidays? Do they not read my blog at all? :-) Is it too far from everybodies daily work? Too vague or abstract? I have been alerting for submissions on Twitter, Facebook and Linkedin, but maybe it is just bad timing.
You'll get a second chance ... (read the end of the post now)
For me this year, and a part of 2009 has been focussed on this topic, but not specifically limited to medical and health information. Technology is spreading and touching every sector of industry, business, education and even personal life. New technologies arising in one sector, can, to a growing extent, more and more easier applied to others. Working closely together with an academic library gives you, as medical librarian in a large teaching hospital an big advantage. Many medical librarians in Europe and in the world, work much more seperated. I had the privalige to be involved in organising a brand new conference focussing on these emerging technologies in academic libraries EMTACL10 with colleagues from NTNU UBit
Major topics there were:Mobile technologies, Linked data, Semantic Web, New literacies, Supporting research, Social Networks, Mash-ups and all the videos and presentations are still out there.
Here are the post that were submitted or selected by me for this Round
So, we have some interesting technologies presented in these posts:
But there are so many more .... and many of us are wondering where to start (or to stop). At a meeting in Münster with a room full of German medical library directors ,we discussed what influence all these technologies could have on the library as organisation and on the staff for the future.
The results will be presented by Oliver Obst at the AGMB Tagung 2010, the national yearly meeting of German medical librarians.

All Dutch Libraries using an OutSide Tool:
NETHERLANDS (total: 15)
Results of the PubMed Search for ALL records with activated filters or via My NCBI Share link.

Why?: Because I updated the XML holdings file via Linkout ftp 24 hours ago.
RUGLinks is our SFX Linkresolver solution
The collection Dutch Medical Libraries Collection FULL Text is a the result of ALL DUTCH Linkout providers together in one search, saved & used as custom filter.

PubMed Updates : Linkout & Filters & New records
The Central Medical Library offers a link-resolver (Outside Tool)in Pubmed (called RUGLInks), as well as a filter option (Linkout), to easily discover what content exactly is full-text available to our patrons.
This is integrated and available in two ways:
Currently that is: 9.543.669.
The command to look that up is: loprovinlugrmlib[SB]
Show all Pubmed Records (today Sept. 1st 2010),:
I just got confirmation from Linkout office that the new file has been processed and that the updates described in the file should appear in PubMed or related Entrez databases in 48 hours. So I will repeat that search after 48 hours and see if there is any change...
In previous years it was a bit of a nuisance to create that file, as the output Ex-Libris/SFX supplied out of our SFX-database was not abled to merge our Embargo or multiple holdings into the desired "One line per ISSN".
So we had to "manually" correct that. But now after some updates and a bug-fix, it seems the output file that was delivered to me by Andre Keyzer of the University of Groningen Library .
Soon more on the updates and on how to create/activate that XML file. Or on the question if it is useful to be abled to see constantly what has been added or changed status in Pubmed via an rss feed?
This is integrated and available in two ways:
- by direct link to PubMed with MYNCBI-share: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?myncbishare=CMB&otool=inlugrmlib
(This activates an clickable ICON (linkresolver) visible at any record viewed in detail, and it shows (in a clickable selection -filter-) what part of the search results is avaliable in full-text based on the library's licencing policy. - via MyNCBI Preferences, via filtering search results, and setting LinkOut and outside tool preferences.
(Patrons can activate their preferred Outside tool, as well as set a filter to show what part of the search results is avaliable in full-text based on the library's licencing policy.)
Currently that is: 9.543.669.
The command to look that up is: loprovinlugrmlib[SB]
Show all Pubmed Records (today Sept. 1st 2010),:
- All (20139180)
(This uses the following command: publisher[sb] OR in process[sb] OR medline[sb] OR pubstatusnihms[All Fields] OR pubstatuspmcsd[All Fields] OR pmcbook[All Fields] OR pubmednotmedline[sb] OR oldmedline[sb] )
- Libraries (19.893.694) (this setting is now removed again from the settings You will not see it anymore)
Observation: All libraries seem to got almost content of PubMed fulltext online available
- RUGLinks Fulltext (9.543.669)
Observation: This is 47% of PubMed's total
- Free Full Text (2.978.570)
Observation: This is 15% over PubMed's total.
If we merge the RUGLinks Fulltext plus the Free Fulltext however, we reach the 50%, which indicates that only 3% of the Free Fulltext is NOT currently in our RUGLinks collection. We (me and Sjouke van der Werf ) assume this 3% will probably be generated from the most recently Open Access titles or very old titles just being added. - As a test we created a new custom filter that merges RUGLinks AND FreeFulltext to offer to our customers (command: "loprovinlugrmlib"[Filter] OR free full text [sb] ) RUGLinks+Free FULLTEXT (10020830)
I just got confirmation from Linkout office that the new file has been processed and that the updates described in the file should appear in PubMed or related Entrez databases in 48 hours. So I will repeat that search after 48 hours and see if there is any change...
