What's new - ticTocs might keep you informed

You probably know the problem. You have access to many journals, but you don't find the time to check them regularly for any new articles that might be of interest to you. Well, you could just use each journal website and sign up, in order to get emails each time a new journal and a new table of content (TOC) is published. This can be done much easier now. ticTocs is a service where you can subscribe to rss-feeds of the journals you are interested in. You only have to register once, select the journals you are interested in, and you are done.

Librarians came first ...

When trying out the new Google trends gadget I used the "2.0" buzzwords I often come across or even use myself.

Scientists build networks using twitter

Ulrich Schrader — Wed, 13 May 2009 15:28:41 +0000

If you use Twitter already this is not new for you. But finally Twitter starts to make the German news, mostly because German celebrities are joining the crowds. The common opinion is more skeptical about it, and considers its use a waste of time.

In his blog post "30+ Places To Find Creative Commons Media" Sean P Aune shares a great list with more than 30 collections, links, or methods that can be used to find media (audio, video, ...) that are licensed under a creative co

Swine Flu in the Media via Flackr compiled from news tweets

Ulrich Schrader — Sat, 25 Apr 2009 11:19:21 +0000

If you want to contrast the information sources I posted in my previous post about "Places to find information about the recent outbreak of swine flu (H1N1)" with information that is being forwarded by the media. Flackr.net is compiling news tweeted by news agencies on twitter. Interesting new approach to getting an overview over a topic covered in the media. See the results here:

Open Educational Resources

Ulrich Schrader — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:10:26 +0000

For the educator resources on the internet are often like a double sided sword. On one side they might be very successfully applied in the teaching process, on the other side the licensing is not often clearly expressed, or access to the resource might be restricted, or even prohibitively expensive. Here freely available open educational resources become increasingly more relevant - not only for the process of formal teaching and learning in institutions dedicated to this task, but more important for self-guided learning also in the context of professional development.

PDF Books, Articles, and Documents Search Engine

Ulrich Schrader — Wed, 15 Apr 2009 15:06:54 +0000

A very easy way to find books, articles, or documents on the web, that are freely available, is the Free PDF Books, PDF Books Search Engine . The user interface is reduced to the bare necessities. The Google search engine seems to be behind it, so you could do the same and more using Google's advanced search.

From digital divide to broadband divide

Ulrich Schrader — Mon, 13 Apr 2009 20:21:18 +0000

During the Easter holydays I spent a couple days in a rural area. I had planned to take my laptop along and to connect to the internet using a standard dial-up connection. I had done it last year, it was slow but feasable, if the motivation was high enough.
