Bruisende bijeenkomsten in Tilburg / Exciting courses in Tilburg

De TICER module van dinsdag 23 augustus was zéér geslaagd. De sessies gingen over WIKI's, mobiele technieken en mogelijkheden, Access Management, BLOGs én RSS-feeds. En die laatste was -wat mij betreft- de klapper van de dag!~ Jenny Levine stak een gloeiend betoog af over, maar vooral ook vóór het gebruik van RSS-feeds door bibliotheken. Ze ziet RSS-feeds samen met BLOGs als de ideale manier om informatie van en over de bibliotheek naar de klant te krijgen. Omgekeerd biedt het de klanten ongekende mogelijkheden om op de hoogte te blijven van werkelijk alles wat er aan web-inhoud beschikbaar komt. Op de website van de CMB ben ik op een testpagina bezig met een overzicht van de mogelijkheden. O ja, het geven van reacties is erg makkelijk. Het aantal klantcontacten (via blogs of feeds) was enorm gestegen. Probeer het eens.

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). ...

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!).

11 Ways to calculate (your) H-Index : free and otherwise

I bumped into a blog post from ChemConnectorBlog about free tools to calculate your h-index. This was posted already in 2011 and I got curious if there would be more tools available right now. Here is a short summary of tools that can be used: (If I missed some, please let me know via Comments please!) The Central Medical Library advices to use Web of Science (ISI)  to calculate your h-index. Within the UMCG this is still the generally accepted citation resource & tool. We help patrons setting up their ResearcherID and Google Scholar Citations. ResearcherID from Thomson Reuters   offers Citation Metrics, including your h-index to be calculated from your publications. We calculate the h-index for patrons on request either via  Web of Science (ISI)  or via "Publish or Perish" This free software makes it possible for librarians (or patrons) to create the h-index for themselves or for others.(Note: risk of getting banned temporarily from Google Scholar ...
