This week we got the notice that RSS functionality had been activated in our University of Groningen Library Catalogue This is a long-standing wish of many librarians, mostly because of the possibilities it creates to distribute and aggregate information about publications listed in this Catalogue. Alert lists for individuals or departments, new books on specific topics, new ebooks and ejournals ... to name a few. It opens a new range of features and services. Currently I have indication that the RSS works without any issues in Internet Explorer, Opera & Safari.(See screenshots below) For FirefoxFirefox and Chrome I had to do some work to make those browsers "SEE" RSS feeds on a webpage. FIREFOX : To make RSS enabled in Firefox, so you can see the RSS icon in your address bar, you have to go to: VIEW; Toolbars; Customize and DRAG the RSS icon (called "Subscribe") somewhere into or near your address bar.

This week the International Student Congress of (bio)Medical Sciences 2012 Poster Portal has gone live with the publishing of one of the award winning posters of last year. This branded F1000 ISCOMS Portal is part of the Central Medical Library, UMCG project called "UMCG Poster Portal, an institutional Open Access portal". So far F1000 did offer poster and slides facilities just for individuals and Societies , but now they are working on this for organisations, like academic institutions as well, to start with the UMCG. ISCOMS Poster Portal You can see clearly now how a branded UMCG Conference Portal with F1000 would look like. Right now there is only just one poster there, but it is an award-winning one of ISCOMS 2011!. All presenters at ISCOMS 2012 will be asked to deposit their posters and slides to this Portal to make sure they will be visible for those who can not attend the conference.

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. We are requesting Thomson Reuters to repair as soon as possible, within a week at least. The Research Office of the University Medical Center Groningen has it's own workflow and detailed systems running to  evaluating the quality of Research within our institute and usually have to finish this part of the job by the March, 15. This included large downloads from Web of Science en EMBASE. Apart from internal analysis and research evaluation, it is used to publish a list of all publications every year.

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...
