emtacl12 - emerging technologies in academic libraries
International conference on emerging technologies in academic libraries 2012
1-3 October 2012, Trondheim, Norway
;http://www.emtacl.com Call for Papers
_______________________________________________________________
Emerging technologies and evolving user behaviour keeps changing the rules of
the game for academic libraries. Emerging technologies include new ways of
using existing technologies and totally new, disruptive technologies. Examples
include:
- Semantic web / linked open data
- Social media
- Augmented reality
- Mobile technologies
- Visualisation

emtacl12 is an international conference for academic librarians, information
professionals, academic staff, students, library system developers and
suppliers, among others. The aim is to provide answers to the following
questions: 
  • What can academic libraries do to address change? 
  • How can we adapt? 
  • Which technologies can/should/must we use/create? 
The conference is hosted by NTNU University Library, the Library of the Norwegian university of 
science and technology in Trondheim, Norway.

The programme committee invites original presentations and posters taking one
or more of the following perspectives as a point of departure:
- Linked open data and other semantic web applications in the library
- New literacies
- Supporting research
- Organizational change within the library
- Analysis of user behaviour and use of statistics
- New services/old services in new clothes
- Other relevant perspectives on emerging technologies
We invite submission of abstracts or posters presenting:
  • Theoretical solutions, but with a clear illustration on how these solutions can be applied in libraries 
  • Opinions on some aspect of practice, or descriptions of work that is still in progress, but sufficiently mature to warrant attention
  • Experiences and case studies specifying requirements, challenges, or opportunities of applying emerging technologies in libraries
  • Comparisons with alternative or competing approaches using conventional technologies
  • Best practices for implementing emerging technologies in libraries
  • Assessments of cost and benefits from the application of emerging technologies, e.g. time and cost of implementation and deployment, integration with legacy IT systems, user acceptance, returns on investment
We will also open for live demos of emerging technologies, and invite submission
of abstracts or videos describing such demos.

Abstract submission instructions:
Please use the submission form athttps://www.easychair.org/conferences/? conf=emtacl12 to submit an abstract describing your contribution, including:

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...

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 .

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. They seem to be popping up like dandelions in the fields ;-) (Please read my post on ALL possible options to get to a PDF:  http://digicmb.blogspot.nl/2017/03/how-to-get-pdf-infographic.html ) Here is a first glance of what they do. 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. The previous name appeared to be a tribute to the #ICANHAZPDF movement (requesting pdf's via Twitter with this hashtag). ...
