EAHIL 2007 Workshop in Krakow so far ...



The EAHIL Workshop 2007 in Krakow is focussed on "Pathways to New Roles". It started with one full day of Continuing Education Courses (CEC).
Most interesting for me, would have been the fullday course on EBLIP Update from Andrew Booth "Using Evidence in Day to Day Practice"

But as I was giving two courses myself this was simple not possible. The Weblogs & Mashups course together with Oliver Obst was really fun to do, having 12 medical librarians blogging and playing with RSS-feeds.
"Make Your Own Library Toolbar" was a four hour session with 15 people hands-on creating their own Toolbars. Information about the workshop is on the LibraryToolbar.blogspot.com site including the complete schedule ánd the instructional demo's.
Together with my colleague Dorine Kieft-Wondergem (who also presented a poster on our student toolbar!) we convinced them you CAN do it in 5 minutes .... ánd that there are so many good things possible, even four hours is too short ;-) We agreed to exchange library toolbar experiences and share developments via the blog.

My pictures of Krakow and EAHIL2007 so far can be found on Flickr.

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 .

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...
