Reference Cod Alert: Student is asking for the MGMA (Medical Group Mgt Assc) Physician Compensation Reports. I can find them on their website: http://www.mgma.com/physcomp/ But not in any of our resources. Ideas? Somewhere else I should look? All wisdom appreciated :)
I don't know if I'm looking for it wrong or what, but when I checked WorldCat, I see only 13 places having a copy of the 2010 report.
- Rachel Walden
That's at least 10 though, I'll send those to her and suggest she ILL it. Thanks Rachel!

Copyright and Open Access at the Bedside — NEJM - http://www.nejm.org/doi...
"But then in March 2011, a promising new cognitive screening tool that was to be available through “open access,” the Sweet 16 — a 16-item assessment of thinking, learning, and memory developed by Harvard's Tamara Fong3 — was removed from the Internet at the request of PAR in an apparent copyright dispute.4 The Sweet 16 includes orientation and three-object recall items, similar to the MMSE's, along with a digit-span item. This action, unprecedented for a bedside clinical assessment tool, has sent a chill through the academic community; clearly, clinicians and researchers can no longer live in blissful ignorance of copyright."

@medlibs #medlibs Exasperated. Scopus RSS feed cannot be seen by Google Reader or by Yahoo Pipes. Grrr. Any suggestions?

Is it essential that the proxy be part of it?
- Nikki D.
The proxy part stuffs up RSS feeds from most databases (with the exception of Compendex, IIRC). Manually deleting it from the feed url generally allows the feed to work.
- Deborah Fitchett
There is a way to set the ezproxy to not choke on rss feeds, but yeah i remove the proxy usually. Is the sciencedirect rss problem fixed btw?
- aarontay
Did you try Feedburner? I think I have some of them in there.
- Guus van den Brekel
Yeah. Yanked the proxy stuff out of the URL...surprised our library hasn't addressed the issue. I guess few users want RSS alerts from Scopus.

Interesting chat on MEDLIB-L on Withdrawn ACOG Committee Opinion that are removed from the ACOG website & e-journal. "We've always been at war with Eastasia!"
This is something I have been annoyed about forever. Actually, found an old blog post on it. http://womenshealthnews.wordpress.com/2010... Really want these around for historical research.
- Rachel Walden
[sent a modified version of my post to the list. glad you shared this Brandi, I think it's the first time I've actually read my medlib-l messages in months]
- Rachel Walden
Awesome Rachel! Thanks for sharing the post with the list. (I'm also bad about keeping up with medlib-l). I also really want these to remain available. Unbelievable that we paid for that content and would have to pay again. It is scary how many rammifications there are and the lame response of ACOG on the listserv...grrrr

Help!! Do you have any recommendations for an affordable, reputable online registration system? Investigating alternatives to Acteva for our MLA Chapter. We use it to handle our membership as well as our annual meeting registration.
What does it need to do?
- RepoRat
handle our membership database (where they renew yearly, pay the dues & answer a few demo questions) as well as handle our annual meeting / CE registration for participants and vendors/exhibitor. acteva handles the transactions and sends us checks. i handle the personal checks. does that answer your question?

two of my local library organizations use MemberClicks: http://www.memberclicks.com/ i've had no problems with it, but have only used it from the member side.
- holly #ravingfangirl
Holly, how big of an organization? Do you know someone I could contact that handles the admin side?
- βℜ∀ñÐi
these are statewide orgs, so sorta big. let me see if I can dig up a contact for you!
- holly #ravingfangirl
Open Conference Systems might be able to handle all that, if you have a server handy somewhere.

I'm looking for advice from a RefWorks ninja familiar with NLM citation style requirements. Anyone?

i know RefWorks but not nlm, sorry
- Christina Pikas
I also know RefWorks but not NLM. So am not really helpful, too.
- Amandadon't
(But post your question, and I'll give it a whack! Just not a very good whack.)
- Amandadon't
Thanks, guys! Ended up going to our own library to discuss with reference librarian...who agrees that RefWorks simply can't properly record conference presentations and produce correct NLM citations. Disappointing, because that would have been very convenient. Now learning all about Zotero thanks to the excellent book by Jason Puckett. http://jasonpuckett.net/zotero... I am a fussy, picky, hyper-critical jerk- and I can find nothing about this book I don't like. It is outstanding.
- David Rothman (☤)
there have been talks recently on the refworks admin listserv about conference presentations and other reference types needed but not supported. probably too late for you, but there have at least been requests for rw to fix that.
- Christina Pikas
I've given up on RefWorks fixing anything. *grumpity grump*
- marthalib
I just had to break it to another librarian that RefGrabIt is basically a waste of disk space.
- DJF
Oh, absolutely! I've been telling people not to use RefGrab-It for years.
