PubMan unfortunaltely down again
Due to server problems (SAN storage) at our hosting partner, we had to decide again on a downtime for PubMan.
http://pubman.mpdl.mpg.de/pubman/ is not reachable since 11:00 a.m. We are aware of the critical situation especially for the colleagues, who depend on the data for the website. We are currently trying to reach someone responsible at our hosting partner for trouble shooting, but it seems we will have to wait for Monday.
We are really sorry, we do our best to find a solution. You’ll get informed as soon as the problems are fixed.
PubMan available again
The storage problems have been solved, PubMan is available again. More details on the technical problems will follow soon for the ones interested.
Sorry for any inconveniences!

PubMan "Schnupperkurs", 9.6.2009 in Hamburg
On June 9th, a PubMan „Schnupperkurs“ for several librarians of the Max Planck Society (MPS) took place in Hamburg. The aim of the workshop was, that the participants get a first impression on PubMan. At the beginning of the four-hour-workshop we discussed extensively; about PubMan in general. After a break, the participants could test all PubMan features on their own.

New videos out on PubMan user workspaces
The workspaces in PubMan serve as a kind of role specific desktop. Dependant on the role you have in the system you will have either a depositor workspace (my items) or a quality assurance workspace (QA workspace), where you can find „your items“.
Where as in the depositor workspace (my items) you find all items, that have been created by you, you will find in the QA workspace all items you are responsible for as moderator. Please have a look at one or both films in order to get an idea on the advantages and usage of a workspace.

PubMan Days 2009
MPI for Human Cognitive and Brain Sciences, Leipzig, 16th of February 2009
Here you can find the agenda of the PubMan Days 2008. All shown presentations are linked there.
The PubMan Days in autumn 2008 were a great success. Thus in 2009 there are planned two further big PubMan Meetings. With the kind support of Marion Schmidt, the first Pubman Days 2009 should take place at the MPI CBS in Leipzig. It was again a large get-together of people all dealing in a more or less intensive way with PubMan. Marion Schmidt, head of the library of the MPI CBS, wrote a report about the PubMan Days in Leipzig. We say thank you for the report and for organizing the first Pubman Days in 2009 at your institute!
