Google Me : Feedflare to search authors in Google

A small thing, but nice! Today i added a Feedflare unit to the feeds of the atUMCG, our blog that is publishing all the NEW scientific publications of the University Medical Center Groningen (UMCG) http://atUMCG.cmb.med.rug.nl
 Every post now has extra features added like sharing or bookmarking, but also a button called "GOOGLE ME" When clicked it will search for the authors and their publications in Google, with rather nice results I must say.
If you click the Google Me button for the article called "

A tool for the morphological analysis of mixtures of lipids and water in computer simulations."

You would get the following results

Clearly those are helpful hits in finding more information on the publications from these authors!

"FeedFlare allows publishers to easily build “interactivity” into the content they create, making it simple for subscribers to tag, email or share their content with others. Publishers can include a variety of services including a live display of the number of comments to each post, the ability to email the author directly and show the number of blogs that link to their item. Publishers can choose to include FeedFlare within the feed itself as well as on their blog or site."
A feedflare unit is a xml-file hosted somewhere on the web.
Get more FeedFlares! Browse the Catalog or “101 FeedFlare Ideas” list.
(The original feedflare was called Search ME)
I find Feedflare easy to use, but am open any other alternative, as it seems they do not develop it further.
I am trying to find out if it is possible to add javascript/ bookmarklet functionality INSIDE these Feedflares, to for instance add Library proxy Button, or a RefGrag-it one... Any  help is welcome!

OpenAccess Toolbar & Mobile (web) App Trial

Here is a short demo video about the OpenAccess Toolbar ánd the Mobile (web) App.
The video is created in one take via Screen.com straight from my laptop browser window.

It still can be useful to have some info very close at hand. Of course it depends on how often you need info about OpenAccess, but with this browser Toolbar, you will have the latest news on OpenAccess right in your browser.
A second strong feature of the Toolbar is the DIRECT SEARCH in major OpenAccess Resources, like the new CORE fulltext search engine, OAIster, DOAJ, PLoS, SpringerOpen (incl BioMedCentral)

• OpenAccess Toolbar download: http://openaccess.ourtoolbar.com

Can't or won't install a Toolbar?

The Unofficial Guide for Authors (free & OpenAccess publication)

The Unofficial Guide for Authors

by Tomislav Hengl, Michael Gould, Wouter Gerritsma

Ebook, , PDF

Price:	FREE

direct download

Most scientific journals provide guidelines for authors - how to format references and prepare artwork, how many copies of the paper to submit and to which address. However, most official guidelines say little about how you should design and produce your paper and the chances that it will be accepted. This book provides a comprehensive but focused guide to producing scientific information - from research design to publication. It provides practical tips and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions: Why do we publish in the first place? What is OA publishing and why bother about it? What is the h-index? What is a Journal Impact Factor and does it matter? How can I increase my research production efficiency? Why should I use OS software tools for academic work? How can I produce graphics that will impress? How can I brainstorm good titles? How can I select a suitable journal and where can I find out more about it? How can I get into the reviewers' heads? This is an Open Access publication.

RefGrab-it Bookmarklet for iPad / iPhone?

RefGrab-It works with your browser to capture bibliographic information from web pages giving you the option to import that data into your RefWorks account.
Read about how to add the RefGrab-it bookmarklet to your IE or FF browser here.
It appears that this RefGrab-it bookmarklets does not work fully on Safari browsers on iPad/iPhone. It grabs the reference, but when trying to import ..... Nothing happens!!
so, just for the excercise .... Bookmarklets can be very useful. To install these in "normal" browsers is rather simple. They appear as a Boommark in your Bookmark bar and can be activated by single click when needed.
On the iPad it is a bit more complicated, but not difficult.
Here the description on how to install the RefGrab-it bookmarklet in the iPad browser.


Step 0: Open this post on your ipad ....

Step 1: Use "Add Bookmark" (it does not matter from what page) to create a bookmark and ..

Step 2: Call it : RefGrab-IT and click"SAVE"

Step 3: Open Bookmarks & History (click the open book ...)

Step 4: Go to the Bookmarks Bar, and click "EDIT" (upper-right corner)

Step 5: Click the "RefGrab-it"bookmark. Edit Bookmark window will open

Step 6: Now copy the text inside the box below, and simply paste it inside the line BELOW the title of the bookmark. This is normally the url, but this time we will PASTE this little javascript in it.

Step 7 No need to save! Just click anywhere outside the pop-up, the window will close and the Bookmarklet is installed!



Add the RefGrab-it Bookmarklet


javascript:var%20wRWMain1=window.open('','RefWorksBookmark');d=document;i='AddToRWScript';if(d.getElementById(i))RWAddToRW1();else{s=d.createElement('script');s.type='text/javascript';s.src='http://www.refworks.com/refworks/include/addtorw.asp';s.id=i;d.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(s);}void(0);

Adding Bookmarklets to your iPad / iPhone browser; i.e. Library Proxy

Bookmarklets can be very useful. To install these in "normal" browsers is rather simple. They appear as a Boommark in your Bookmark bar and can be activated by single click when needed.
Here is the page about installing the RUG proxy bookmarklet 
On the iPad it is a bit more complicated, but not difficult.
Here the description on how to install the RUG proxy bookmarklet in the iPad browser.
(btw, that proxy bookmarklet will check any webpage if you might have access to the fulltext of the journal, article or other digital library licenced resource.)
Step 0: Open this post on your ipad ....
Step 1: Use "Add Bookmark" (it does not matter from what page) to create a bookmark and ..
Step 2: Call it : Library Proxy, and click"SAVE"
Step 3: Open Bookmarks & History (click the open book ...)
Step 4: Go to the Bookmarks Bar, and click "EDIT" (upper-right corner)
Step 5: Click the "Library Proxy"bookmark. Edit Bookmark window will open
Step 6: Now copy the text inside the box below, and simply paste it inside the line BELOW the title of the bookmark. This is normally the url, but this time we will PASTE this little javascript in it.
Step 7 No need to save! Just click anywhere outside the pop-up, the window will close and the Bookmarklet is installed!

Add the RUG proxy Bookmarklet
javascript:void(location.href=%22http://proxy-ub.rug.nl/login?url=%22+location.href)



You can now test the bookmarklet to get access to the latest UMCG publications "atUMCG"
Click on a title. The article will , most of the time, open in PubMed. Now click the Library Proxy Bookmarklet. It will ask you to login once with your proxy account (or with your P- or S-account)
You will not see the normal RUGlinks icon, but you can just click the "Fulltext" link, either on the Publishers icon, or in the LinkOut, More resources. Even if you at first not get the fulltext, you can activate the Library Proxy to gomtomthe right page WITH the fulltext. IF we do not have licenced access, then you will not get it, no matter how often you click the Library Proxy Bookmarklet ;-) IF you by chance get a page telling you the access can only by from WITHIN RUG or UMCG domain, please follow instructions, and hopefully the acccess via proxy will be arranged asap.

German Medical Library Association Annual Conference (AGMB 2011)

I attended the annual AGMB Conference 19th-21st September 2011 in Cologne.
This German Medical Library Association was founded in 1970 and celebrated last year it's 40th Anniversary in Mainz.

With about 180 registered people for this conference, I can imagine it is one of the biggest meetings of medical librarians in Europe. I wonder if there is any other country with a simular organisation in Europe? Maybe it is good to say that this is not only for German medical librarians, but also for the German-speaking countries like Austria & the Swiss.
My presentation was about Mobile Technology & Semantic Web in Medicine and Health Information.

Mobile Computing and Semantic Web for Medicine and Health Information
