Your Library in a Toolbar

The Library Toolbar is developing into an asset, a little thing extra to connect the user to it's much valued resources like databases and e-journals. While the search options are still getter larger, the e-books section has expanded with sub-menu navigation! Also the "Handige Links" are grown into an overview and a direct link option to all major sections of our Library Website! An English version of the Toolbar is in production; i think this should be standard and maybe the only one ... The News-section is containing THREE RSS-Feeds:
  1. Library news, direct from the website (RSS)
  2. New publications from UMCG Staff in journals indexed in PUBMED: the option in Pubmed to make RSS-feeds of searches is GREAT! This feed is based on a search for all known namen and adress variables of the "University Medical Center Groningen" combined with AND to any new articles in Pubmed.
  3. All new publications in the TOP5 Journals as they appear in Pubmed. NEJM, LANCET, BMJ, JAMA and NATURE. Because the journals do not appear at the same time, it is possible to follow the latest articles as the appear, and even BEFORE that!

The Toolbar can be used for in fact really anything you want to find on the Internet. The major search engines are availabe. You can do just what you want and IF you want to use one of the SERVICES of the Library you have it right by your side .... like a lifeline or an umbilical cord (-;)

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 .
