Promotion of scientific output : made possible by your library (EMTAC12 Talk)

On Tuesday, October 2nd I talked at the 2012 version (the 2nd) Conference "Emerging Technologies in Academic Libraries, EMTACL12 in short.
Before I say something about it, I must add that this time -being involved as member of the International Programm Committee ánd as speaker , was an even more thrilling than the previous version EMTACL10.

In my opinion we succeeeded in putting in an impressive line-up of keynotes, a range of other presentations of which the overall level felt even higher than in 2010, and all this planned in perfect grouping with sufficient breaks long enough to really discuss with presenters and participants.

You can read my abstract of the talk. All presentations will become available on the EMTACL.COM site, including the video recordings.



I am still writing on a summary of EMTACL12 .... to be continued..
Be sure to check out the EMTACL Facebook Page, and please Like it. Nice posts up there already, and more to come ... what to think of this Doodle by Patrick Hochstenbach!! (available also in EMTACL12 Flickr Group with more Doodles!)

From Netvibes Universes to Netvibes Premium Universes?

I am still trying to create and improve the DIGICMB Universe and now they tell me I could also have it as an EMBEDDED Universe INSIDE my own (library) website. Check here the Premium Universe of Le Figaro Newspaper web site called Myfigaro and you will see the Url is: http://www.lefigaro.fr/monfigaro/ . However, Fred Mini , Chief Operating Officer (COO) of Netvibes , in his French blogs adds "for those interested" that these Premium Universe are "Not for Free"... Read more about Premium Universes at the blog called NETVIBER EXPERIENCE. This Premium Universe gives freedom for more customization and advertising. I will get info on how much it costs soon, i hope. Tags: netvibes , universe , premium , rss , personalisation , sharing , publish , library , libraries , api , widgets , feeds , tab s

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 .

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...
