doing a lit search in Aerospace db, as one does. have to edit most results in refworks because 1) conferences come out as generic or journal and 2) at least one conference paper was reported as a technical report in the STAR thingy that is indexed as a journal. ARGH!

New post: Searching Scopus by Date Added to the Database http://scientopia.org/blogs...

Would anyone happen to have an e-mail alert in their inbox from Scopus from either December of last year or early January of this year? I need the ORIG-LOAD-DATE BEF .... number that you can extract from the link to "view all records in Scopus"... their help was of NO help, insisting that you can't search on this... when you can... obviously

or, alternatively, does anyone know how to make sense of these numbers? april sometime was ORIG-LOAD-DATE BEF 1398667098 march sometime was: 1394403556 - Christina Pikas - -

thank goodness I don't have to field this. but i feel sorry for the person who does, particularly since the person who had a lot of the data left in 2009 and destroyed a bunch of records on the way out - Christina Pikas - -

I was given less than an hour to answer a ref q on federal R&D funding and the US workforce last week... guess I now know what it was for: http://hub.jhu.edu/2014... (Semmel is the director of MPOW).... I did the best I could but could have done much better if given more time .

i'm really confused. using the overdrive app and every way to search i can think of, looks like my pub lib and the neighboring publib don't have a bunch of the Sharpe series. Now on the computer checking the catalog... they do.. and i can link back into overdrive and see them.

Ugh battery wen in the thermostat and it was 60f in the babies room when I got up. Luckily they have blankets now so were ok. Getting them dressed was hard. Finally compromised and they're wearing pj tops under their shirts

I find we use "resources" too much on our website... what other words? databases - too narrow. stuff - too informal. services - too narrow, not exactly right. thesaurus.com suggests thingamabob, but somehow doesn't see right. suggestions?

our department has had multiple meetings about this and we decided that "stuff" was just about the right term to use. - Christina Pikas - -

that's just silly. health committee at MPOW is sponsoring a talk by a doctor on breast health and they actually put a warning that the talk may include "graphic medical images". good grief

We went to the kids day at the university of Maryland farm today and I got to pet a cow. She was very friendly. Also saw some horses and pigs and sheep. Nice little outing for the kids and free!

my mom fell again and broke ribs, shoulder, stuff in her face... of course they didn't go to the ER immediately but waited until after breakfast the next day to go to an urgent care... just like my grandmother - horrible osteoporosis

but my mom was conscious of it and did weight bearing exercise (casually) and ate calcium and had dexa scans and shots and whatever... but she's still breaking bones all over the place - Christina Pikas - -
