On my way to Nordlib 2.0 Stockholm University

Stockholm view from Gondolen While waiting at Schiphol Airport I have time to write a little about the coming event

NordLib 2.0 - Get Inspired by Web 2.0 for Libraries Aula Magna, Stockholms universitet, 21 november 2008

It is organised by Stockholm University Library. I was surprised to find a special tab about: Social life at the University with nice stuff like Last.fm group, Facebook and a special network for students. I am looking forward to hearing the following contributions at the conference tomorrow:
  • Richard Gatarski Re:thinking publishing – a social media update. PhD, professional speaker and freelance advisor specialised in social media developments, marketing and education.
  • Santiago de la Mora Partnership Development Manager for Google Book Search in Europe
  • Mats Wiklund Online Games – from player initiated virtual activities to game worlds as domains for learning Lecturer at the Department of Computer & Systems sciences, Stockholm University
  • Malin Cantwell Erik Stattin Great Expectations! The fortunes and adversities of mobilizing academic library staff for the future Librarians at the University Library at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden.
  • Brian Kelly Realising The Potential of Web 2.0 UK Web Focus is the job title of Brian Kelly. This post provides an advisory service on Web innovations, standards and best practices. Brian is based at UKOLN, a national centre of expertise in digital information management.
It will be great to see the colleagues from Karolinska University Library again. Last visit at Stockholm was in August 2007. What's on in Stockholm?

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.

UPDATE:  Clarivate Analytics Acquires Research Startup Kopernio to Accelerate Pace of Scientific Innovation I am currently testing 4 browser extensions in Chrome that can help me find the PDF i need.

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.

For   Inuit Art Zone  the RSS feed would be: http://www.facebook.com/fee...
