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.

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 .

For testing i used this article: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.cub.2016.10.008   (not free or open access) Kopernio (previously  Canary Haz ( http://kopernio.com) Note this is a .com extension. This  new company  has been founded just 8 months ago. The Kopernio  extension was released just in March 2017. Currently the Kopernio button is in alpha-testing and so far it seems free.
