Comparison bibliographic management software: Refworks, EndNote & EndNoteWeb

Jeroen Bosmans posts about on a special seminar of Refworks in Utrecht, lists minimum requirements and summarizes convincing arguments why possible web-based alternatives like Connotea, Zotero, CiteUlike (and a host of others) do not comply: they lack SFX compliance, word processor integration and/or easy import functions

Refworks promotion in the Netherlands, or: what criteria for bibliographic management software?

This article is just plain wrong--the author clearly didn't use Zotero for very long or look into its features well enough. Zotero has OpenURL support (compare with SFX), integration with Word, and many import/export options (actually, more than RefWorks). Zotero looks like iTunes and is far easier than RefWorks for new users to pick up. Unlike RefWorks, it is also free (as in no cost and open source). It can grab citations from thousands of websites and databases--far more than RefWorks. And the Zotero server (available soon) will enable all of the things RefWorks can do and this article's author asks for--sharing, feeds, groups, etc.--again, for free. Zotero is even available in Dutch! So why pay for an inferior, costly product?

Thanks for the comment about Zotero. We have had EndNote Web since December, but it doesn't work with our catalog.

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 .

Updates from Journal Apps (BrowZine, docwise, ReadbyQxMD, Docphin)

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...

Make RSS feed from any Facebook Page

You could ask why on earth do you want that.... Well, simply to insert the feed into a feed reader or make all posts/updates available in an "aggregator" like Rebelmouse.com. With Rebelmouse you can create your own social media Frontpage (and blog) based on various social media accounts, searches AND RSS feeds. ( More on Rebelmouse and the power of curation ) Say I want to add Facebook posts ánd images from the page Inuit Art Zone into a Rebelmouse I made about Inuit Art . Rebelmouse offers to add My Pages via my facbook account, but other pages can only be entered via RSS. You only need TWO things : the base url string for the RSS feed: http://www.facebook.com/feeds/page.php?format=rss20&id= the Facebook ID of the page: Find the Facebook (Page) ID Add the ID at the end of the url string and you have a complete working RSS feed! For Inuit Art Zone the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
