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

Libraries can register for a Google Scholar Account to connect holdings via their  OpenURL-compatible link resolver, like SFX for the  University of Groningen Library. Within University of Groningen or University Medical Center Groningen IP-RANGE you will automatically see  the link to Link Resolver Menu for this item to get to the full text fast when we have it! (Unfortunately  it does NOT show the ICON ) Google needs IP address ranges so that your library links will automatically appear for people accessing Google Scholar from these networks.  Other patrons - for instance, off campus students and staff from home - will need to configure their affiliation in their own Scholar settings manually. Today I discovered that certain IP-addresses from the University Medical Center are not included in the registered IP-range. The UMCG recently started using various extra IP-ranges.  Thanks to Peter van Rees of the University of Gron...

Ideally your publications as researcher within University Medical Center Groningen(UMCG) would be included into the library's Repositories and the current CRIS  (Current research Information System) METIS .  The personal staff pages (MEPA) of the University of Groningen offers the option to show your publications directly from these above mentioned systems.  Currently there is however no optimal way to fill these systems for the UMCG.  The University of Groningen Library is implementing a  new CRIS  based on PURE from ATIRA.  This will eventually change the workflow of the MEPA's!  Check this video (Dutch/English) As a temporary work-around there is an option to import Publication Lists in this MEPA. Step 1: Make sure you have an updated list of your publications in your preferred reference management tool (RefWorks, Google Scholar, EndNote Web, Mendeley, Zotero, Publish or Perish ...)  Step 2: a Publication List WITHOUT lin...

In a recent email it was explained that NARCIS, National Academic Research and Collaborations Information System now offers RSS-feeds for search results, or even a widget you can embed in your website or blog I think it is interesting to keep up what is entered into NARCIS by or about the UMCG. So the search "universitair medisch centrum groningen" OR UMCG ", gave me 101 results divided in 6 tab-results Every set of results can be saved as RSS feed, embedded or added to your Favourites, EXCEPT the "ALL Sources". I tried to merge these 5 rss-feeds into one via Pipes.Yahoo.com  and it seemed to work. You can see the result on the UMCG Web Presence Scan Public Page ; Publications Tab
