Toolbar Workshop in Oslo

Today a group of 20 Norwegian colleagues from the Olso region did a 3 hours Workshop with me in a great computer room from the Oslo University College (http://www.hio.no)We mainly covered the Library Toolbar by looking into all kinds of details, but the great part was that people could create their own toolbar in a few minutes and add search engines, links, menu's etc. So there now are about 12 extra health/medical Library Toolbars created! We also worked on "our" new Metalib follow-up Livetrix, Web Trends and even a little Second Life demo -;) Want to see more Library Toolbars? Here is a picture of the Auditorium of the Kunnskapsenteret where I did my presentation this morning. My presentations will be up after next Thursday, i think somewhere on my blog, or on slideshare.com

More pictures from Norway!

Thank you for an interesting lecture in Oslo on monday! As I mentioned I've now published an article on Helsebiblioteket's web site about «Into the user environment now!». The text is obviously in Norweigian, but I suppose your Norwegian is fluent by now...

Greetings from

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. 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...
