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). ...

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. BrowZine: <meta name="apple-itunes-app" content="app-id=463787411"> docwise iPad <meta content='app-id=581136701' name='apple-itunes-app'> docwise iPhone: <meta content='app-id=628730259' name='apple-itunes-app'> I want to know more about this!

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...

A small new project has just been created in relation to the new Poken gadget . The Poken gadget works in a simular way as RFID, but different ;-) The Central Medical Library, UMCG will perform a small research into new ways of exchanging information with library users. The question we are asking ourselves is: How can we make library users more aware of our services, products, ánd our web-presence in the social web? And can we -instead of giving them business cards to take-away- find another way to pass that info on to them? With a special Library Poken placed at a central meeting place in the library, users can connect with that CMB Library Poken. They will take with them our details of the Facebook, Hyves, Twitter & Linkedin Library presence for now, but more will follow. (Youtube, Delicious, MSN, MySpace, Last.fm, ... you name it) The Library will get info about the users use of social networks. At the moment, both parties that have "poked" still have the option...
