You know how I'd almost finished my presentation for the
Endocrine Nurse Update...
Just needed to do the reference list. About to do it this morning when disaster* struck.
I've got in excess of 20,000 references in my
RefWorks database - going back to student days in mid 1990's. When I used
EndNote, I always had a back up copy of the database, but now the University has ceased to support EndNote and switched to RefWorks, I don't have that facility. On logging in this morning I was greeted as
a new user (with no references) and invited to
CREATE my database. Horror...
I have been assured that RefWorks know about the problem, which appears to be affecting all Coventry University users. I just hope they get it sorted out soon.
On a less frustrating note: did a telephone interview with a journalist today, about the work Glenn Furnell and I presented about the
experience of Midlanders whose homes were flash flooded. Have also seen three very interesting papers that have been published in the interim:
Carroll et al 2009
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18996730
Carroll et al 2010
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20618385
Mason et al 2010

*I realise of course that the meaning of this word is somewhat context-specific ;-)
