For journals, I just access them via Athens

Provided by the library.

Yes but the internet has made libraries (arguably universities as well) obsolete for academic research, what is the difference between using my universities electronic journal searcher/Athens to using Google? I don’t read paper books using either!

Once you’ve found your articles, you access them. Until there’s open access to all publications, this is usually paid for by the library (assuming university here). The librarian’s help choose which titles are included – remember there isn’t an unlimited budget, and manage access. When it’s not working who sort’s it? The Library.

Using a database for an in-depth search will save you time. Try submitting a systematic review with the strategy “I used Google”.

A good Library will help you get your research done more easily, through training or doing searches for you. Important stuff with the REF and funding bids.

I’m a Librarian and I barely have anything to do with books. I use the internet all the time. Don’t think my job is obsolete.

If I was you I’d get in touch with your librarian and ask them to have a look at your search – after all they’re the expert. “nd opinion to go back to the marker?

I suppose the approach to the assignment is a bit different in healthcare to some other sectors of academia, the search strategy is often an part of the work (esp Evidence Based Medicine) – how you find the information is important.

Although ironically in my Librarian MA I don’t think I ever had to make my search strategy clear!

My guess is that there was a problem with your search strategy on the databases (Medline, AMED etc? through Ovid?). Don’t want to sound patronising but they do exactly what you tell them, so quality of search = quality of results (generally). Google Scholar does clever stuff.

Worth sticking reference into google scholar to look at their “cited by” link, quite good way of widening your search.

Might just be that the marker doesnt really know what they’re doing.

I have vested interest, medical librarian university/NHS.

It was a good ride, glad it was on my singlespeed as I could chuck it back in the shed without washing it.

Looking forward to dry trails and sunshine, mind.

Bump for any morning commuters

Oh yeah, it is altura (I always mix them up with endurance!)

Dodgy zips put me off a bit, especially as I guess it’d get work regularly.

That was posted from my phone on the train, so “endurance” should read Endura, and “work” is worn.

Anyway, now tempted to buy one.

£40 here

And here

Here too

Slightly off topic from single wheeled trailers, but what would be the cheapest way of getting a trailer for general load lugging and possibly a bit of easy road touring (big tent, bottles of wine etc)?

I’m guessing a 2nd hand child trailer bodged could work, but would they “pull” OK for longer distances?

Any other ideas?

Ta, little job for the weekend.
Quite looking forward to trying them again!

Cheers, thought I had a vague memory of there being an “extra” click, will whack it on and try it, can always leave it on friction I guess.

I think you’ll find they’re saying oh! You know that little noise that falls out when you’re disappointed.

I lived in Barry, so used to get Oh, O as a greeting. I don’t think you can be disappointed living in Barry.

Owen, I like it.

Although growing up in Wales it was shortened to O. Mrs and her family (who are from darn sarf) call me O, as do a few friends.

I’m a librarian. I don’t have any particular fondness for books, more interested in the content,transfer of ideas and that.

Our users want e-content, so we try and give it to them – if that’s ebooks then that’s cool, as long as people are using the service then great.

Chest infection. So sitting on the couch. All day. Again.

Signed off work until middle of next week.

I am AMAZINGLY bored.

Please stick to the original post please and for gods sake stop having a petty bitch at each other. thank you.

Follow the owner home and show ’em who’s boss?

I’d go with the Cochrane review, you can nick their search strategy innit.

Liking this music is worse than the pervasive sexism on here 🙁

Done

TSY – backdoor?

yup, panniers on my Brompton:

Heel clearance is the biggest problem, have to move your feet forward on the pedals a bit but basically fine.

I was too young to listen to 70’s punk, but grew up listening to hardcore/metal/hiphop from the late 80’s onwards. Most of it had a political edge. It was pretty much out of step (Minor Threat reference 😉 ) from the mainstream music of the time.
We hated 70’s punk coz it was full of old farts who wanted to drink cider and were more interested in having the right clothes.

I don’t think it’s any different now, young people always feel pretty pissed off with the world. As they should. I think things are more “punk” now – you don’t need a record label (independent or not) or even any physical distribution to get your music/message out.

And maybe kids don’t see music as the only way of protesting. Look at hacking collectives, that’s sticking it to the man in a much more effective way than making someone tut at your bondage trousers.

Always spell check when typing “regards”, the G and T are quite close on your keyboard.

Another was a diabetic that injected herself during dinner in a busy restaurant!

They do have a habit of doing that, it’s like they don’t want to end up going blind, having bits amputated, and you know, dying and that.
🙄

TK Maxx is ok if you can be bothered trawling through it – I got a Nike ACG Paclite jacket for £17 from there, cut the hood off it and leave it in my B bag.

Plus points:
It was cheap
It has pit zips.

Bad points:
Goretex Paclite isn’t particularly breathable
Its orange.

and

However I’m using one of these as it’s a bit longer in the body than some of the american brands. Roll away hood, no pit zips, but pretty pleased. Mostly used on my Brompton and off bike but nice to have the hood when it’s a bit nasty.

Thanks so far, waiting for the train at the minute.

Any more?

Cheers, keep ’em coming. Wallace looks interesting, makes a change from the Tates, Portrait gallery etc.

Any reasonable-size town will have a half-decent bakery.

Town I live in has got 2 Greggs, does that count?

Anyone know of anywhere with them in stock at the cheap price?

Seem to have lost the “buy” option at play.com so guess they’re sold out

To keep rocketdog happy I replied to you on twitter!

Oh i’m @ocoxall btw, wouldn’t bother following me as my tweets are exceptionally dull.
