Web of Knowledge "Bug" in export, Thomson Reuters needs to repair

We discovered a bug in the Web of Knowledge export functionality. A line break is missing in the plain text export, causing a malfunctioning import into Reference Manager and other complex databases (Access). The line seperating between each record is missing. After extensive communication with Thomson Reuters, they now admit there is a bug, that will be fixed with the next release of Web of Knowledge. Unsure is when that release will be.

Leaving Facebook for Google Plus?

How to get Facebook content to share to Google+ instead of on Facebook? Is there an App for that? I am leaving Facebook..... at least for my work-related updates I do NOT want to use my Facebook status updates constantly anymore. Too many friends complain about the spam-like feeling they get from me ... So, as part of testing Google Plus more extensively for work-related topics, I will be posting updates at https://plus.google.com/u/0/114762032748269860649/posts , and on related pages I created: - EMTACL12 https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/104987324626140437081/ - CMB UMCG: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/100073771637127326576/ - Project 23 (for EAHIL): https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/111378010601307476237/ - Medlibs of the World MeLOW: https://plus.google.com/u/0/b/117079728374234431856/117079728374234431856/posts Of course I will post updates on the several facebook pages available: - EMTACL: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Emtacl/79318928229 - MedLibMob : Medical LIbrarians & Mobile : h...
