Emerging technology in Medical and Health Information : Medlibs Round 2.8, Deadline 04-Sept-2010!


This is a call on all Health and Medical Information specialist worldwide to submit one or more of your blog posts to the nexts months MedLibs Blog Carnaval Round 2.8 which will be up at this blog!

The theme of this Round will be: Emerging Technology in Medical and Health Information.
You can already start submitting to the next edition (just sign in and enter the URL of your post) at the submission form here. You can submit any post as long as it is of good quality and pertains to medical and/or health information.
I had the pleasure and honour to give a Continuing Education Course (CEC) at EAHIl 2010 on this theme, and am trying to keep the public course up to date at : http://www.netvibes.com/emergingtechnologiesinlibraries
The course touched emerging technology issues relevant for academic and medical libraries & librarians.
You will find already a lot of information on certain topics, and a few books I can recommend, but it would be great to hear your opinion on the content, to reveive comments, new stuff, to read what's happening in your areas.  But most of all I want to see NEW STORIES about new developments, of cutting-edge technologies that anyhow could have some applied-use in health and medical information.
This MedLibs Blog Carnaval offers you the platform to tell your colleagues and share it with us.

Have a look at  Highlight HEALTH to see this months episode by Walter Jessen or read the complete MedLibs round-Archive

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...
