Ah Rachel. Yup, they just keep appearing!

Available in Android Market: "PubMed Mobile" Brief review: "Meh." Unbound Medline still better option for Android users: http://www.unboundmedicine.com/medline...
I'd have said "meh" for Unbound Medline as well. It's not bad, but it's not great either.
- Jennifer McDaniel
Compare it to Android PubMed Mobile, Jennifer. Unbound is WAY better.
- David Rothman (☤)
Of course, still waiting for a really GOOD PubMed app for Android. It'll show up eventually.
- David Rothman (☤)
Fair enough. I should probably try Pubmed Mobile to make a good judgment.
- Jennifer McDaniel
Although there are a couple of problems with it, the "new" pubmed is working well for me as I get used to it. I also love MyNCBI.
I never thought OVID would get so bad and PubMed would so markedly improve that I'd do the vast majority of my searching in PubMed. But I do.

Controlled vocabularies are like the geology of society, each stratum showing what we left behind- and what we kept...
- Pete
Pete, as a geology major in undergrad, I particularly appreciate your analogy. :)
- Rachel Walden
Serendipity :) I knew a lot of geologists at university; indeed one (who now makes websites for a living) is coming down this weekend.

via @shamsha: question: what is the difference b/w e-books and online books? thnx!
Hope Leman liked this
via @HCIR_GeneG @shamsha ebook is used to refer to titles avail. for reading online and to devices to enable reading. ereader is also used to refer to dev.
- Nikki D.
via @loiswingerson @shamsha I think e-books refers to books you can only read on an e-reader (e.g. Kindle) whereas online books are available on your desktop
- Nikki D.
via @eagledawg @shamsha I think of e-book as downloadable/portable, online as non-download resource you have to access
- Nikki D.
via @shamsha @HCIR_GeneG @eagledawg @loiswingerson thnx! but can't u view online books on an ereader, esp. since kindle now offers pdf viewing?
- Nikki D.
via @shamsha @HCIR_GeneG @eagledawg agree context matters. providing definition helpful 2. thnx guys!
- Nikki D.
Online books exist only online and are shown by a Web server. eBooks can live somewhere other than on the server.
- David Rothman (☤)
I thought that too David, then looked at our own terminology and we lump everything together as ebooks. http://bit.ly/7Ce0nG http://bit.ly/7B8a7c
- Nikki D.
Fascinating discussion--how would you classify books such as those in Project Gutenberg, which has on its site, "the first producer of free electronic books (ebooks)." It says, "Project Gutenberg is the place where you can download over 30,000 free ebooks to read on your PC, iPhone, Kindle, Sony Reader or other portable device." http://www.gutenberg.org/wiki...
- Hope Leman
That supports my 'ebook = portability' definition pretty well Hope :) I'm not aware of a hard & fast definition in use by anyone, let alone the library field. If there is one I'd like to know though.
- Nikki D.
Hi, Nikki--if portability is the key thing where do audio books fit in as in the Playaway http://www.playaway.com/
- Hope Leman
thnx for all your comments. this will help as we re-do our website!

#mlamobile Working on a post to wrap up questions that were not answered in the Webcast yesterday. Send me Qs if you have 'em?
I didn't see webcast, so not sure if question was answered about whether mobile versions of PubMed have/can have links to subscribed content. Thanks. [Added: and that was @mascher's question 1st, but I think it's a good one.]
- Rachel Walden
Yeah, we talked about that. Geez, Rachel. YOU didn't watch it, Martha Hardy didn't watch it, Melissa Rethlefsen didn't watch it...are y'all mad at me? ;)
- David Rothman (☤)
Unfortunately I didn't get a chance to watch either. I am bummed that I missed you guys. :( Just too crazy busy of a day for me.
- Michelle Kraft
Just how much makeup did you guys have to wear?
- Nikki D.
I would have watched it if I'd had access! We didn't do it as a site, and nobody else in town did. [*Nashville* is mad at you! Bwah ha ha ha ha...]

hi all -- what resources would you recommend for demonstrating evidence-based medicine via the iphone? thanks!
interesting question...and i'm not sure i understand it. How would one 'demonstrate EBM' on a laptop?
- David Rothman (☤)
from fftogo
i should be more careful with my dependent clauses. can an iphone be an effective tool to support evidence-based decisionmaking in the clinical setting, and if so, what resources might one use to demonstrate that to clinicians?
- Luke Rosenberger
I think the same question could still be asked in reference to a laptop. There's little a laptop can do that an iPhone can't.
- David Rothman (☤)
David, I assume the main thing you can do with an iPhone and not a laptop is put it in your pocket.
- s t e v e
Yup. So if you ask how a laptop can support EBM, the answer is that the iPhone can do the same while being more portable.
- David Rothman (☤)
let me ask a different way: if you were to put together a list of iphone-optimized sites/webapps or iphone apps that support evidence-based clinical practice, what would you include in that list?
- Luke Rosenberger
First Consult, part of MD Consult.
- marthalib
thanks martha! i also got a response suggesting acp pier by statref.(mobile-optimized)
- Luke Rosenberger
DynaMed. EBSCO mobile went live this week, CINAHL on that isn't half bad.

Thanks!

This feller from the NEJM called and left me voicemail re: my recent post about Clinical Reader: http://www.linkedin.com/pub... Heh. Oh. He's a bearded pig. Cool.
marthalib liked this
What did he have to say?
- Rachel Walden
Nothing yet. Got his voicemail when I called him back. It just occurred to me that he might not appreciate my pointing out three different places to snag their copyrighted content. I mostly just wanted to mess with CR for violating copyright again (do NOT threaten my medical librarian friends with legal action just for pointing out your lies and content theft), not to make trouble for the NEJM.
- David Rothman (☤)
Fascinating. Keep us posted.
- s t e v e
Updated post: http://davidrothman.net/2009... Tom confirms they have NO arrangement with Clinical Reader and did NOT license their content to Clinical Reader.
- David Rothman (☤)
I like to hope that all creators would appreciate librarians speaking up about their copyrighted information being available via unauthorized channels. If we don't, who will?
