The app will also allow you to save a search and then receive PubMed alerts (weven though you're a Nature.com app) based on your selection of keywords.</span>Peter Bradleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12822630315986959437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21495759.post-83771226599208611772010-07-27T12:42:00.011+00:002010-08-17T12:59:28.350+00:00Clinics in Sports Medicine & latest resourcesYou can now access online, <a href="http://library.bath.ac.uk/uhtbin/bath/UB-LIBS/ckey/2022258">Clinics in Sports Medicine</a> (each issue of which relates to a specific theme).

A <em>did you mean? </em>spell-checking option is in development.<br /><br />Furthermore, cited reference data has now been added to the BIOSIS database which will enable a united set of citation data across all the Web of Knowledge databases.

The results have given us a clearer picture of how you prefer to keep up to date with research. This will help inform the recommendations we make and the content of training sessions.</span><br /><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Our survey focused on alerts that individuals set up via databases or publisher websites. To set these up, individuals can identify individual journal titles in order to receive the latest tables of contents (TOC). Alternatively, they can identify an author, citation or set of keywords in order to receive references from a wide range of journals. Here's a summary of the results: </span></p><ul><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>The most popular alerts:</strong> <strong><em>Web of Science</em></strong> and those set up directly from publisher website are most widely used although both received mixed reviews for intuitiveness and quality</span><span style="font-family:arial;">. <em><strong>Pub Med</strong> </em>and <strong><em>Zetoc</em> </strong>were amongst services that received the most positive feedback. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Researchers are using a huge range of individual journal alerts as well as broader one-stop-shop alerts from databases.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Perceived benefit of alerts:</strong> 80% of respondents were positive. They perceived alerts as being quick and easy to set up, providing relevant results and a useful overview of a topic. They also enable serendipity in searching and sometimes provide links.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Perceived problems of alerts:</strong> they're slow, complex and irrelevant, lacking both breadth and throughness. They also create information overload & were difficult for staff to fit into their workload.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Waiting...<em> </em></strong>The average user is prepared to wait up for to two weeks post-publication to receive an alert (and is prepared for 5% of alerts never to arrive). However, this average disguises a wide range of opinion.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Other results:</strong> 76% would prefer to receive alerts as emails rather than via a feed reader. The most popular alternatives for keeping up-to-date were conferences and review articles.<br /></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"></span><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Comments:</strong> Where there were comments on the Library’s online resources, most<span style="font-family:arial;"> were positive, although some respondents were unaware that the Library were responsible for providing these resources.<br /></span></span></li><li><span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>Our own data suggests...</strong> Ultimately, getting alerts direct from each publisher provides the fastest, most reliable source, but this is more labour-intensive to set up and monitor than using a one-stop database. </span><span style="font-family:arial;">Of the databases, <strong>Zetoc</strong> or <strong>Web of Science</strong> may prove a better choice if you're more interested in thorough coverage and less concerned about speed, If you want to receive alerts quickly and aren't concerned about the occational alert not arriving, you may prefer to use <span style="font-family:arial;"><strong>ELIN.</strong> </span></span></li></ul><p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><strong>If you would like to see a full report, please contact me <a href="mailto:P.G.Bradley@bath.ac.uk">P.G.Bradley@bath.ac.uk</a></strong></span> </p>Peter Bradleyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12822630315986959437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21495759.post-16370746280649510222009-05-18T13:15:00.005+00:002009-05-18T13:21:05.116+00:00Further Swine Flu Resources<span style="font-family:arial;">BMJ are offering a the following free resources on the topic of Swine Flu (the Library subscribes to a range of BMJ titles): </span><a href="http://group.bmj.com/group/subscriptions-and-sales/institutional-support-services/institutional-promotional-materials/may-2009-institutional-newsletter#swine-flu-keeping-up"><span style="font-family:arial;">http://group.bmj.com/group/subscriptions-and-sales/institutional-support-services/institutional-promotional-materials/may-2009-institutional-newsletter#swine-flu-keeping-up</span></a><span style="font-family:arial;"><br /><br />Dynamed is still currently providing open access to its Swine Flu updates.
