Inbox health checkEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Email is now the main communication tool for all business sectors despite the fact that there are significant issues surrounding its management, confidentiality, security, legal compliance and long-term accessibility. Within the health sector, it has tended to be utilised as a tool for organisational communications separate from patient management. However, public expectations are changing and already the Royal College of General Practitioners (RCGP) has indicated that the provision of some level of patient email service is desirable.

Second Life in higher education, medicine and healthEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
The Second Life ‘worlds’ consist of islands and larger areas of ‘virtual land’. Linden Labs make much of their income by renting out land to people and organisations. Once you are renting some land, you can develop buildings and other structures. Some laws of physics can be ignored; for example, you can build rooms or floors high in the sky. Structures can incorporate an increasing selection of media, connecting Second Life to websites and ‘Web 2.0’ applications such as YouTube and Twitter. Streaming video feeds from ‘real world’ conferences - and sending back comments and qu...

Searching shortcuts - finding and appraising search filtersEmail this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
Searching large biomedical databases such as MEDLINE can be a real challenge. We are searching millions of records, trying to get the records we want, but also trying to minimise the number of irrelevant records produced in the search. Often, we want to focus on best evidence or the latest research. Whilst our specific topics may differ, the searches for best evidence or publications with particular research designs may be common to many searchers. Every day, searchers around the world are probably trying to create search strategies to find the same things. Many searchers may not know the search options that are available ...

Google: It's all at the Co-op now!Email this article to a colleague. Save this article to My Clippings. Discuss or comment on this article.
It's an all-too-familiar story - you have spent several person-weeks compiling or updating a formidable web resource, a collection of links relevant to your organisation or activities and, within less than a year, 20-30% of the web pages are out of date.1-3 Furthermore, users of the resource have specialised needs that are best sustained at a sub-document level - in other words, it is paragraphs and sections of web documents that best address their needs, not the web pages themselves.
