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...

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!).

Correcting Errors in PubMed

An error found in a PubMed record can be corrected, but whether the correction can be made by the publisher depends on the publication status of the citation in question and whether the error also occurred in the original version of the article (print or online). Publishers can correct errors ONLY if the citation has the publication status [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]. Citations with the publication status [PubMed - in process], [PubMed - Indexed for MEDLINE], [PubMed] and [PubMed - OLDMEDLINE] can ONLY be corrected by NLM staff. Errors that also appeared in the original version of the article cannot be corrected until an Erratum is issued in an upcoming issue of the journal. Please see NLM's Errata, Retraction, Duplicate Publication, and Comment Policy Fact Sheet for more information. Please use this format when submitting a request for correction to  custserv@nlm.nih.gov To:  custserv@nlm.nih.gov Subject: REQUEST FOR CORRECTION P...

Promoting (Library) Apps with Smart Banners

How to get people to download your brand new Journal app for the Library? Besides putting out Download banners on your website or blog, you can use a smart App Banner for IOS Applications that appears when users on iPad or iPhone visit your Blog or Website via the mobile Safari browser. I first read about this at the BrowZine Marketing Tools for Libraries page I tried it on this Blog and on atUMCG, the blog about all UMCG scientific publications . There are plugins for this in WordPress , but all you need to do is to add a little single string of code in the Header section of the blog or website. Here are the strings for BrowZine and docwise.

There is an App for that too! About Medical Libraries and mobile Apps

End of 2011 I wrote an article for a Dutch Journal called "Digitale Bibliotheek" about medical libraries and mobile apps. It is available at ResearchGate.com . Only now i got to translating it (thank the stars for friends with translator skills!) and publishing it on Scribd I used it partly for the EAHIL 2013 Workshop Session on  Mobile  technology,  platforms  and apps. Nice thing about Scribd is the embed. Less fun is the advertising on Scribd, which can be pretty inappropriate... At the end I list 5 areas libraries at least should focus on. Please give you opinion or give more suggestions! Are these areas still relevant? There is an App for That Too! About Medical Libraries and Mobile Apps by Guus van den Brekel
