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.

From Netvibes Universes to Netvibes Premium Universes?

I am still trying to create and improve the DIGICMB Universe and now they tell me I could also have it as an EMBEDDED Universe INSIDE my own (library) website. Check here the Premium Universe of Le Figaro Newspaper web site called Myfigaro and you will see the Url is: http://www.lefigaro.fr/monfigaro/ . However, Fred Mini , Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Netvibes , in his French blogs adds "for those interested" that these Premium Universe are "Not for Free"... Read more about Premium Universes at the blog called NETVIBER EXPERIENCE. This Premium Universe gives freedom for more customization and advertising. I will get info on how much it costs soon, i hope. Tags: netvibes , universe , premium , rss , personalisation , sharing , publish , library , libraries , api , widgets , feeds , tab s

PubMed Search & News Widget

OK, I think Toolbars are great for quick easy access to search databases, free or licensed databases. Users can use this jumpstart search to get to their preferred search engines direct from their browser window. But not everybody is allowed to install browser plugins or add-ons. To distribute the Toolbar functionality like the search & news options, I create derived widgets that can be used as a whole in many social networks , websites and intranet sites, everywhere where it is allowed to put up html. The PubMed Search & News Widget is the latest one. I just got confirmation from Widgetbox that they approved it. "Derived" in this case, means, the widget is using the PubMed Toolbar installed custom searches and the installed rss-feed of PubMed New & Noteworthy .

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.
