Chemical society tried to block business competitor http://www.nature.com/news...

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

The world’s largest scientific society tried to unfairly obstruct a tiny entrepreneurial start-up from competing with its most lucrative scientific information product. That is the main conclusion of a ten-year legal battle that leaves the American Chemical Society (ACS) facing millions of dollars in penalties and sharp questions from some of its members about whether its business practices conflict with its mission to advance the chemical sciences. - Christina Pikas - -

", the ACS said that the ruling “will not impact ACS member dues; ACS products, programs or services; ACS staffing levels; or the ability of ACS to achieve its mission”." - or the way it treats people or does business - Christina Pikas - -

Anyone have suggestions for new best things in the notetaking- thought organization space ? Customer had scrivener recommended to him... I thought of things like one note and Evernote as well as things like outliners and mind mapping tools

I wouldn't have considered Scrivener as a note taking application - I use it for long-form writing and would get confused if I tried to use it for notes. Evernote is what I use for notetaking - unlike Scrivener, it's available on EVERYTHING I might ever take a note on, with the only exception being bar napkins. - Christina Pikas - -

I also use Evernote--mostly for the cross platform access: phone, web, tablet, Mac, Windows, submission by email, etc. - Christina Pikas - -

more proquest bitching: why are records marked as *both* journal articles and monographs.... how can they be both? that's just stupid.

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

sometimes special issues of journals get published as pseudo-monographs. yeah, it's dumb, but that's the explanation I'd bet on. - Christina Pikas - -

My fun ProQuest question is: "Why is _The New York Times_ linked/indexed as _New York Times_ ?!" - Christina Pikas - -

nice... proquest thinks we have access to a different number of databases depending on the browser. 35 in firefox, 38 in chrome and ie. Of course 2 of the ones i want are in the missing 3.... sigh.

So a search on World Political Abstracts on ProQuest got 415 results - I wanted to export them all and have been going 100 at a time. I get to the 4th page and now there are only 387 results.... Ideas? other experiences?Sudden deletion of duplicates?

Springer book archives: http://www.springer.com/authors... - interesting... locating authors of older/out of print books to get permissions to scan and sell again

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

Aw, how sweet, an author benefit is that the books never go out of print. Sounds like publisher-speak for "the rights never revert back to the author" but I'm cynical like that. - Christina Pikas - -

It might be that they never got digital rights in the first place, only print rights. - Christina Pikas - -

Idiocy : putting a qr code in an email but no clickable link

1 decade ago from Friendfeed - Comment - Hide - - -

But it should work GREAT for anybody who prints out their email before reading it, and also always has a smartphone handy when they read the printout. (Heck, I might endorse your sentence without the last four words, for that matter.) - Christina Pikas - -

i need a volcano... the database i need for current search has disappeared - again - from the proquest interface (in it goes)... a major physics publisher has cut off my lab saying that we're not part of my parent institution... at the same time they send me an e-mail asking for a testimonial! In they go!

Small by comparison, but the goddamn CMS not only doesn't auto-save revisions, its editing screen is set up such that if the upload fails, the Back button is also broken, so the revisions are GONE. There went twenty minutes. - Christina Pikas - -

Christina. Helpful to me though. Client has been saying couldn't find a database in Proquest and I couldn't replicate issue. Maybe its the same random disappearing act! - Christina Pikas - -
