According to WoWter almost "tout" university library land was in Utrecht for a presentation of Scopus. I'll expect more to hear from the Groningen representatives later this week, perhaps somebody has put some ppt's on the web?
For now the most interesting for me to hear was the fact that Scopus will launch their new author identification tool on May 12th this year.
UBU staff tested & demonstrated Scopus and made comparisons with Google Scholar and Web of Science but i am not sure yet if they "discovered" many new stuff compared to for instance the Pipp-review, but according to Wouter they should publish it! His list of 2006 reviews about this issue is nice. Maybe it would be nice to share this with the CitULike community? Maybe even a special group for the comparison between Google Scholar, Web of Science, Scopus, Microsoft Academic Search, and in the future Yahoo and ...?
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. To be downloaded from Google Play Store or Amazon App Store the following publishers have been added Project MUSE Cambridge University Press American Marketing Association Academy of Management Royal Society of Chemistry Institute of Physics American Physical Society Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM) American Geophysical Union International Society for Optics a...

It was actually a cooperation between Utrecht and Elsevier. But Utrecht who dit the research. I think Utrecht's review was more comprehensive than Pipp (which they were aware of). Peter Laarhoven was from your site was present, so ask him.
Acoording to Jeroen, they are planning to publich the results in a (OA) Journal.
Of course Peter was there, i will ask him next week. He is building his own little list of Scopus reviews and others to feed the discussions in Groningen.
I expext him to add stuff from Utrecht to it. I think I will add them to CiteUlike.
What about your Google blog?
