PubMed Updates : Linkout & Filters & New records

The Central Medical Library offers a link-resolver (Outside Tool)in Pubmed (called RUGLInks), as well as a filter option (Linkout), to easily discover what content exactly is full-text available to our patrons.
This is integrated and available in two ways:
  • by direct link to PubMed with MYNCBI-sharehttp://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?myncbishare=CMB&otool=inlugrmlib
    (This activates an clickable ICON (linkresolver) visible at any record viewed in detail, and it shows (in a clickable selection -filter-) what part of the search results is avaliable in full-text based on the library's licencing policy.
  • via MyNCBI Preferences via filtering search results, and setting LinkOut and outside tool preferences.
    (Patrons can activate their preferred Outside tool, as well as set a filter to show 
    what part of the search results is avaliable in full-text based on the library's licencing policy.)
While working on a new PubMed Linkout xml file for the library to update the existing file, I was checking how many records the existing file was identifying as "our full-text" records. 
Currently that is: 9.543.669. 
The command to look that up is: loprovinlugrmlib[SB]


Show all Pubmed Records (today Sept. 1st 2010),:  
  • All (20139180)
    (This uses the following command: publisher[sb] OR in process[sb] OR medline[sb] OR pubstatusnihms[All Fields] OR pubstatuspmcsd[All Fields] OR pmcbook[All Fields] OR pubmednotmedline[sb] OR oldmedline[sb] )
activated to show via MyNCBI-share link and Outside Tool in base url:
  • Libraries (19.893.694) (this setting is now removed again from the settings You will not see it anymore)
    Observation: All libraries seem to got almost content of PubMed fulltext online available


I just got confirmation from Linkout office that the new file has been processed and that the updates described in the file should appear in PubMed or related Entrez databases in 48 hours. So I will repeat that search after 48 hours and see if there is any change...


In previous years it was a bit of a nuisance to create that file, as the output Ex-Libris/SFX supplied out of our SFX-database was not abled to merge our Embargo or multiple holdings into the desired "One line per ISSN". 
So we had to "manually" correct that. But now after some updates and a bug-fix, it seems the output file that was delivered to me by Andre Keyzer of the University of Groningen Library .


Soon more on the updates and on how to create/activate that XML file. Or on the question if it is useful to be abled to see constantly what has been added or changed status in Pubmed  via an rss feed?

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...
