Last week I presented Part II of Search Smarter with Google in one of the "Kennissessies"( Knowledge Exchange session) of the University of Groningen Library for library staff. It lists various topics new to Google search or related to Google search products. The slides are out on Slideshare.net (and even featured on their frontpage as of wednesday 26.12.2012 for about 16-20 hours according to their email) (It boosted the number of views hugely from around 280 till 1081 in 15 hours, ok i tweeted and shared it an Facebook too ...) In order to keep up with new interesting Google Search related issues, I am curating a Scoop.it Topic . It give me powerful options to generate a relevant amount of quality posts, news, tweets ...etc to a) keep up myself and b) to share with others in this pleasant format of Scoop.it Try it yourself and if you have content to share yourself, suggest it to me via Scoop.it.

We are now adding posters in a growing rate, as we are contacting authors with paper posters hanging in the hallways of the hospital. And we are getting good response! So, it is important we publish about the new available posters and presentations in the F1000 UMCG Institutional Portal. For this the F1000 site really lacks a good RSS functionality ! To make some kind of workflow and updating possible we now run new Posters and Talks of UMCG via a Scoop.it Topic http://www.scoop.it/t/posters-presentations-by-umcg-staff And the RSS of the Scoop.it topic we import into our Blog about the scientific output of the UMCG in general. http://atumcg.cmb.med.rug.nl As of today we started publishing the posters deposited into F1000 on this platform too!

LENDING IPADS TO MEDICAL STAFF: INTEGRATING IN INFORMATION WORKFLOW from Guus van den Brekel The Central Medical Library of the University Medical Center Groningen started to lend iPads to clinical and research staff in Februari 2011.  We brought this new innovative technology to them to engage them in an experience that most certainly would affect their daily workflow in patient care, research or education.  The iPads were pre-loaded with apps on workflow, communication, medical specialities, journals, books and library resources.  It brought the library many useful direct user contacts as the iPads were exchanged only with a initial personal "briefing" ánd a de-briefing meeting when the iPads were returned.  One of our goals for this project was to learn where the library's focus should be for the next years regarding mobile technology & library services.  This talk will explain how pro-active projects like lending out iPads to patrons, can have ...

The Dutch Medical Education Association had it's yearly event and it was my first time there! I was there partly to present our experiences with the " iPads on Loan " -project of the CMB, UMCG in a joint-session with an Anatomy teacher ( Peter Room ) & medical student Rens Teeuwen. ( watch our three slide-sets ) Observation: there was hardly any knowledge about the excistence of Slideshare.net or Authorstream.com  among the people I spoke to at the conference (mostly medical educators/teachers). I did not even start about the medicine focussed SLIDEWORLD. org, which is unluckily infested with adverts. (It is not to be confused with Slideworld.COM , which pretends to be thé Search Engine for presentations.) Here is my contribution (in Dutch): Te leen : iPads | NVMO Rondetafel over Tablets from Guus van den Brekel I attended two interesting sessions worth mentioning: "Augmented reality" in het medisch onderwijs.

The Open Access UMCG Poster Portal project is growing steadily. The collaboration with F1000 resulted in the first ever Institutional Portal within F1000 for the University Medical Center Groningen .
