The Unofficial Guide for Authors by Tomislav Hengl , Michael Gould, Wouter Gerritsma Ebook, , PDF Price: FREE direct download Most scientific journals provide guidelines for authors - how to format references and prepare artwork, how many copies of the paper to submit and to which address. However, most official guidelines say little about how you should design and produce your paper and the chances that it will be accepted.

I attended the annual AGMB Conference 19th-21st September 2011 in Cologne. This German Medical Library Association was founded in 1970 and celebrated last year it's 40th Anniversary in Mainz . With about 180 registered people for this conference, I can imagine it is one of the biggest meetings of medical librarians in Europe. I wonder if there is any other country with a simular organisation in Europe? Maybe it is good to say that this is not only for German medical librarians, but also for the German-speaking countries like Austria & the Swiss. My presentation was about Mobile Technology & Semantic Web in Medicine and Health Information. Mobile Computing and Semantic Web for Medicine and Health Information View more presentations from Guus van den Brekel The programm was certainly interesting and I want to list just a few presentations: On Performance-based allocation of funds : Leistungsorientierte Mittelvergabe - ein Thema für Bibliotheken?
