Subject: pharmacy colleagues and drug list book

We are looking for colleagues in Europe who are librarians in pharmacy
libraries.  We have one specific question now, but would be interested
in making relationships for cooperative information exchange as needed
and as time permits with all our busy schedules.  My German is poor, but
I can correspond in German and would like to practice.

Our immediate question regards a notice for a new publication that
appeared in Scrip (oct 7, 1994,p10) for the latest Pharmindex-Brevier
published by Medizinische Medien Informations GmbH.  The book is a drug
directory in Poland, Czech Republic and Hungary.  I faxed the person
listed but have received no reply.
	Does anyone have this and is it worthwhile?
	Can we order it directly from the company?
	Does anyone have the ISBN,price and any other ordering information?
	Any suggestions for drug lists for Eastern European countries?
We answer many questions regarding drugs from outside the US and try
to buy all drug list from other countries.
	Thank you for your help.	Sorry to have written this in
English.	Eileen Moyer, Sheppard Library,Massachusetts College of

Subject: Searching archives instructions

MEDLIB-L Readers,

I have just discovered a nice set of instructions for
searching discussion list archives.  It was written
for PACS-L by Charles Bailey, Jr.  We have a copy
available here on our listserv.  To retrieve it:

send a message to:  listserv@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu
                or  listserv@ubvm   (BITNET)

with the command:  get search doc

If you use this document to search the MEDLIB-L
archives, be sure to substitute MEDLIB-L's name
and listserv address!

These instructions are for batch mode searching, which
is the type of searching that all Internet users must
do for our listserv.  It includes instructions for
searching by topic as well as by date.  (Great for
catching up on a messages you may have missed while
set to nomail!)

Let me know if you have any difficulty retrieving this
document.

Nancy

IBEGROUP on LISTSERV@ACADVM1.UOTTAWA.CA
         or LISTSERV@UOTTAWA.BITNET

   INTERNET BASED BIOMEDICAL ENGINEERING GROUP

   The IBEGROUP is a non-profit Internet based distributed product
   development group. The current project involves the development of
   a high performance 32/128 channel biomedical data acquisition system
   for research and clinical use. The group's objectives are:

   (1) Make a contribution to the science of biomedical instrumentation
   (2) Provide biomedical engineers with an opportunity to develop
       interdisciplinary contacts worldwide,
   (3) Introduce participants to the art of product development, from
       conception to manufacturing.

   Funding will be sought through grants, sponsors, and support from
   users and manufacturers of biomedical equipment. The group seeks
   expertise in such areas as: low voltage, low power, ultra low noise,
   fiber-optics, telemetry, analog and digital IC design, power/signal
   isolation, DSP, computer interfacing, and manufacturing.

   Scientists, engineers, technologists and educators with relevant
   experience, as well as users and manufacturers of biomedical
   equipment, are invited to participate in this project. Please email
   the Project Coordinator (list owner) for more information.

   This is a private list and subscription is owner controlled.

Subject: Visible Human Data Set

The License Agreement for use of the male Visible Human Project
data set is now available.  It can be retrieved from NLM's gopher
site, "gopher.nlm.nih.gov".  The agreement will be found in the
section entitled Visible Human Project as a text file and as a
downloadable WordPerfect file.  It is also available from NLM's
FTP site, "nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov".  The agreement will be found in
section "visible" as a WordPerfect file, "vhpagree.wp", or as a
text file, "vhpagree.txt".  Please make two copies of the
agreement and have both copies signed as originals by your
appropriate officials.  The agreement requires that you include a
statement explaining your intended use of the data set.  Send
both signed copies of the agreement and the statement of how you
intend to use the data set to me at:

     Dr. Michael J. Ackerman
     Visible Human Project
     National Library of Medicine
     8600 Rockville Pike
     Bethesda, MD 20894

We will have the agreement signed here at NLM and one of the originals
will be returned to you.  At that time you will be sent your account and
password to the Visible Human Project FTP site if you wish to download all
or part of the data set via the internet and information on where you may
purchase the data set on 8 mm or 4 mm DAT tape.  The data set will be
distributed on 6 DAT tapes in a compressed UNIX TAR format corresponding
to 6 body regions.  At this time each tape is estimated to cost $150 in
the US, Canada and Mexico, $300 elsewhere.  A 7th, "sample", tape which
contains the entire body at 1 cm increments will also be available.  The
set of 7 tapes should cost $1,000 in the US, Canada and Mexico, $2,000
elsewhere.

Sample images are also available at this time via the NLMPubs FTP
site.  Six full color anatomical images and an explanatory README
file can be found in "visible/samples/color24" as "*.raw".
Please be careful as each of these images is over 6 megabytes in
size.  Ten CT scan images and an explanatory README file can be
found in "visible/samples/ct" as "*.fre" (5 images captured while
the cadaver was fresh) and "*.fro" (5 images captured after the
cadaver was frozen).  Six MRI scan images and an explanatory
README file can be found in "visible/samples/mri" as "*.t1".

The male data set consists of axial MRI images of the head and
neck taken at 5 mm intervals and longitudinal sections of the
rest of the body also at 5 mm intervals.  The MRI images are 256
pixel by 256 pixel resolution.  Each pixel has 12 bits of grey
tone resolution.

The CT data consists of axial CT scans of the head and neck taken
at 1 mm intervals at a resolution of 512 pixels by 512 pixels
where each pixel is made up of 12 bits of grey tone.  The axial
anatomical images are 2048 pixels by 1216 pixels where each pixel
is defined by 24 bits of color, about 7.5 megabytes.  The
anatomical cross-sections are at 1 mm intervals and coincide with
the CT axial images.  There are about 1871 cross-sections for
each mode, CT and anatomy, were obtained from the male cadaver.

The data set from the female cadaver will have the same
characteristics as the male cadaver with one exception.  The
axial anatomical images will be obtained at 0.33 mm intervals
instead of 1.0 mm intervals.  This will result in over 5,000
anatomical images.  The data set is expected to be about 40
gigabytes in size.  Distribution is anticipated during the summer
of 1995.  We are decreasing the spacing in the "Z" direction to
0.33 mm in order to match the pixel spacing in the "XY" plane
which is 0.33 mm.  This will enable developers who are interested
in three-dimensional reconstructions to work with cubic voxels.

Your continued interest in NLM's Visible Human Project is greatly
appreciated.

>From the December Everybody's Internet Update.

Great, it's not enough that you have to explain to your kid why there's a
different Santa at every mall you go to, now you have to tell her why
there's at least three Santas on the World-Wide Web.

Yes, it's dueling Santas! Who has the better North Pole weather forecast:
Snowflake the Elf at northpole.net or Donder and Blitzen at Citylink?  Do
you go for the cutesy reindeer recipes at Citylink or the more realistic
(i.e., gross) recipes over at north.pole.org (not to be confused with
northpole.net)? Send e-mail to Santa or fill out a Web form to him? Oh,
it's enough to make one hope for a visit from the Grinch!

In the interests of research, let's visit all three.

We find Santa Number 1 at
http://www.neosoft.com/citylink/xmas/default.html.  First thing you see
is a free "letter from Santa'' that you can customize for your very own
child.  All you have to do is download the thing, load it into a word
processor, subsitute his name for "(Child's Name)" and print it out.
Whee!  Next is "Santa's Christmas Favorites." That could be interesting.
But open it up and, guess what, it's an online mini-catalog just full of
expensive stuff that Junior couldn't possibly want (Scarves? Clocks? I
don't think so).  Sure, Santa and commerce are inextricably linked, but
is the big guy so strapped for cash that he has to turn the workshop into
a showroom?

I flee to Santa Number 2, at http://www.northpole.net.  There we find
another canned message from Santa, along with similar messages from
Rudolph and the Elves.  And, oh, look, for only $5, you can order an "I
e-mailed Santa" button! Oookay!  Onto...

Santa Number 3 at http://north.pole.org.  Here we find a Santa with an
Attitude (more precisely, elves with attitude, Kris himself stays pretty
much out of the limelight here).

One thing though: no crass commercialism here.  In fact, the first thing
you see is the Cyberspace Christmas Campaign, where good little boys and
girls can get lists of worthy causes that could use some donations. In
fact, every time someone visits one of the homepages of the listed
charities, corporate sponsors give a dime to the charity (just like a
telethon, but without Jerry Lewis).

Kids can also fill out a North Polargram to send to Santa, and even look
up some recipes from Rudolph: "A tasty concoction of the best from the
frozen tundra. Rudolph says the green slimey moss works the best. He
mixes in the exotic taste of ginger and penguin feathers to create a true
taste treat."

"Penguins" is highlighted; click on it, and you read: "Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We know! 'There are no penguins at the North Pole.' We hear it all the
time. Bet you think reindeer can't fly either!''

There's even a variety of digital Christmas trees and ornaments free for
the downloading, starting with the City Tree (A moderate tree with few
colors. Kind of like those pitiful artificial trees you end up with when
you're stuck someplace you'd rather not be) and ending up with the
Juniper Supreme (when only the finest will do, this JPEG file will turn
your pixels from mere bitmaps into bundles of Xmas joy. Dragging this
data through woods may tire your modem out, but these bits are worth the
extra effort. For extra fun, decorate the national tree with Socks the
Cat!)

This Santa is good friends with the folks who do the "Geek of the Week"
radio show on the Internet and other sound-intensive activities, so it's
no surprise that a lot of the choices are sounds of elves hammering away,
singing songs and the like -- which is no doubt really nice if you have
the time and equipment to download and play these things.

Conclusion? Kids will probably prefer Santa #2 at
http://www.northpole.net.  Adults, though, should head straight
for Santa #3 at http://north.pole.org.

Liebe Medibibler,
ich habe mal in medlib-l ein bisschen Reklame gemacht fuer unsere most
valuable ;-) Mailliste. Dort wird naemlich gerade diskutiert, ob und wie und
warum man ueberhaupt noch mit den vielen Mails in medlib-l schritthalten
kann, soll und muss. Na ja, bei 50 Mails am Tag merkt man schon, was es
heisst aus diesem Info-Wust die 1,2 wichtigen rauszusuchen.
4 Tage seinen Briefkasten nicht geleert zu haben heisst, sich 200 Mails
anschauen und mindestens 190 mal die Delete-Taste druecken zu muessen.
In dieser Diskussion wollten sogar einige die medlib-l nur noch fuer
Mitglieder der MLA offenhalten! Der Gedanke, eine eigene Liste nur fuer
MLA-Mitglieder zu machen, scheitert wahrscheinlich nur daran, dass der
naheliegende Name MLA-L schon von der Modern Language Association besetzt
wurde, und dass auch noch die Music Libraries Association "namensmaessig"
im Wege steht.

Dear Jeff,
I think the number of medline contributors will not decrease in the next
few years (I hope not), but there might be some support to prevent
that we suffer from an (amusing) information death:
If a listserv extends to a certain size, it probably gets children, which
will help their mother to compete with growing information needs. There
are at least two listservs which prevent their contributors to plug up
medlib-l:
A British one by Tony A. King (lis-medical) and a German one (medibib-l).
They provide not only a very useful medlib-l digestion service, cut down
to their contributors needs, but also a forum for discussions, which are
_not_ of world-wide interest.
If you knew any other please let me know.

Oliver

    ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
This conference has been set up to encourage an exchange of ideas,
opinions, and information among health care professionals working in the
field of addiction to alcohol and/or other psychoactive substances. A broad
working definition of addiction follows: "Addiction is a disease
characterized by continuous or periodic; impaired control  over the use of
drugs or alcohol, preoccupation with drugs or alcohol, continued use of
these chemicals despite adverse consequences related to their use, and
distortions in thinking, most notably denial." (Adapted from the American
Society of Addiction Medicine).

We recognize that there is a spectrum of use of alcohol and some
psychoactive drugs, from intermittent use that does not interfere with
health, to malignant destructive use. For the purposes of this list we would
in general encourage open discussion about all aspects of addiction as
defined above.

Please note that this list is intended for those working in the field and is
not to be used as a recovery list to work on individual issues. Such work is
supported by many lists on Internet. Strong opinions are welcomed, but
flaming will NOT be tolerated!

Stolen from Mitch Turitz, San Francisco State University  on
the AUTOCAT list:

Top Ten Reasons God Never Got Tenure at any University

1. He had only one major publication.

2. It was in Hebrew and had no references.

3. It wasn't published in a refereed journal and some doubt that
he even wrote it himself.

4. It may be true that he created the world, but what has he
done since then?

5. The scientific community has had a hard time replicating his results.

6. He never applied to the Ethics Board for permission to use live subjects.

7. When one experiment went awry, he tried to cover it up by drowning the
subjects.

8. He rarely came to class, just told students to read the book.

9. Althought there were only ten requirements, most students failed his tests.

10. His office hours were infrequent and usually held on a mountain top.

2. WWW SITE FOR IDENTIFYING SCIENTIFIC SOFTWARE

From: Mark Funk, Cornell University Medical Library 

Many Collection Development librarians are being asked to either purchase,
recommend, or list available scientific software. A good source for this
type of information is SciTech International, 2525 N. Elston Ave., Chicago,
IL 60647-2003 (phone: 800-622-3345, or 312-486-9191), I have been receiving
their catalogs for a few years, but they have now expanded to the web.
Check out their home page at http://www.cic.net:80/scitech/

Their home page is still in the development stage. While you can now get
pricing and other information that is in their catalog, they will
eventually add live demos of the software, which should be invaluable for
Collection Development work. Why don't more companies offer demos over the
internet? Here is a list of the subjects that SciTech covers:

66666666666666666
From: "Yeh, Daniel" 
Subject: Electronic encyclopedias

Thank you all for your responses to my recent inquiry.  I understand that
I do not have to summarize them for the list, as they are all posted
here.  But for those who missed them, here they are (with the
respondents' names omitted):

=======================================================
The Washington Post Business section dated November 28, 1994 contained an
article by Mike Langberg entitled "CD-ROM Encyclopedias Turn to a New
Page on Research."  He reviewed Encarta '95, Compton's NewMedia and the
1995 Grolier Multimedia.  He recommends Compton's for children who are
interested in manipulating the contents (good editing features), Encarta
for children who want to play with an encyclopedia (interesting
simulations), and Groliers for kids 14 and older.  All have street prices
under $100.
=======================================================
        Booklist has a section called Reference Books Bulletin which
covers encyclopedias each year in the September 15 issue. This year
electronic encyclopedias were covered. Another excellent source is
Kenneth F. Kister's "Kister's Best Encyclopedias" from Oryx Press. The
second edition (1994) covers electronic encyclopedias in a separate 40
page section. Finally, PC-Magazine had an issue this summer (sorry, don't
know the date) on the Top 100 CD ROMS which mentioned encyclopedias. Most
of these sources seem to lean toward Groliers for general home use.
==============================================================
NEWSWEEK (12/5/94) PAGE 88 "MOST BANG FOR THE BUCK" (catchy title, don't
you think? Original, too) HAS A REVIEW, WHICH I DON'T ENTIRELY AGREE WITH
(they underrate Grolier's, I think), BUT IT DOES GIVE A GENERAL REVIEW.
PC COMPUTING (11/94) HAS A REVIEW OF CD'S IN GENERAL, STARTING ON PAGE
156, INCLUDING REFERENCE CD'S.  NEW MEDIA (12/94) HAS A REVIEW OF "THE
BEST 50 BEST CD-ROMs" ON PAGE 63.  I THINK THAT YOU WILL FIND ANY OF
THESE USEFUL, ALTHOUGH I GIVE MORE CREDENCE TO THE 2ND AND 3RD.
================================================================
The most recent issue of Newsweek (the one with the pizza slice on the
cover) has a one-page review of about 4 encyclopedias.  Good for someone
with a short attention span!
================================================================
A newsmagazine for online services and CD-ROM, LINK UP, recently
published an extensive 2 part review of CD-ROM encyclopedias (Vol. 11,
issues 5 and 6).  The reviews were quite analytical and well-written,
covering popular (and one or two not-quite-so-popular titles) and looking
into content, interface and search engine design, implementation of
multi-media, etc.
=================================================================
There was a short review on the latest CD Rom encyclopedias in the Dec.
5th, 1994 Newsweek on page 88.  In short, they liked the Microsoft
Encarta the best.  Send me e-mail if you can't get it and I'll fax you a
copy.
================================================================
The 2nd ed. (1994) of Kister's Best Encyclopedias has about 50 pages on
electronic encyclopedias, so that would be the easiest review source.  If
that's not handy, I can tell you that Kister has a chart and gives a
grade of A to the CD of the Britannica, Compton's, Concise Columbia,
Microsoft Encarta, Software Toolworks, and New Grolier.
==================================================================
Our two year experience with both in-library and circulating versions
of the various CD ROM encylopedias is that New Grolier is a better
encyylopedia for the entire family, Comptons is OK for the kiddies, and
Encarta has a better grasp of how a multimedia should be integrated into
a package.

All our in-house small computers are Macs, with our 'real' computer
a VAX running VMS. We circulate all versions available of any CD ROM
title we offer to the public, and Encarta for Windows really blows
the minds of users, while the Mac users all say: 'big deal, we've had
this kind of stuff for years.'
====================================================================
Try PC Magazine - 13 Sep 1994 for review of 100 best CDs - includes a
section on encyclopedias.
====================================================================
Look at the most recent Newsweek, the one with the pizza on the cover.
===================================================================
Daniel, I wrote a review of MS Encarta and the Grolier encyclopedia for
the Winter issue of OCLC Systems Services Magazine - it should be out
soon.  Grolier's is a more comprehensive encyclopedia since it is based
on the Academic American while Encarta is based on Funk & Wagnell's.
However, Encarta is a superior product from the multimedia point of view.
Both are good products but if your patron wants glitz I suggest Encarta -
the 1995 version is now available I think.
=========================================================================
The latest edition of Newsweek has a Focus on Technology section and
among other things compares cd encyclopedias. (omigosh, as I write this
I'm wondering: was it the latest Wired (2.12) or Newsweek?) Nah, I'm
pretty sure it was Newsweek. They seemed to like Encarta best.
====================================================================
I've only watched others used CD-ROM encyclopedias, but those people I
know who use them a lot, say the Groliers is the best.
======================================================================
Encarta is excellent and under $100.
========================================================================

Thank you very much.

Xerox PARC Web Map Viewer offers a "clickable" world map which lets you
zoom in on areas of interest. Cities, roads, and rivers are not labeled
since the underlying map data contains only line data such as coastlines,
borders, rivers, roads, and not the data or software to add labels or
topographic information. However, there is a link to link to the
Geographic Name Server which allows searches by name, and returns a Map
Viewer page which pinpoints the searched item on the appropriate map.

Greetings -

You may have heard about IBIS, the Interactive BodyMind Information System.
I know many of you use IBIS in your practices.

IBIS is a large software reference tool for clinical practice, teaching and
research.
It provides treatment options and materia medica information for 282
conditions from the perspectives of nutrition, homeopathy, acupuncture,
Western and Chinese herbs, psychospiritual approaches, physical medicine,
vibrational healing, etc.

IBIS is produced by AMR'TA, a non-profit group, and is essentially an
on-going collective work of the coomplementary/alternative/natural medicine
community.

If you want to explore a demo of IBIS (Mac or DOS/PC) or examine some
sample texts from IBIS you can now access them from an ftp site.
Here's how:
 ftp to ftp.teleport.com,
 log in as anonymous,
 and go to the
 /vendors/ibis directory.

The URL is:
ftp://ftp.teleport.com/vendors/ibis

The IBIS demos are also on CompuServe and America-On-Line in software libraries.

A recent letter from Jeffrey Bland, Ph.D., calls IBIS an "extraordinary work".

Likewise, a review in the Dec. '94 "Journal of Alternative and
Complementary Medicine" by Leon Chaitow, ND, DO, called "IBIS on Trial in
Practice" concludes "Every practitioner should have the system" after using
it as his primary reference tool during an average day in his clinical
practice.

IBIS doesn't have all the answers, nor is it "complete".
Rather it is a living work that reflects and communicates our collective
desire to serve our patients and refine our work through empirical research
and collective interaction.
You are invited to participate in this exciting and necessary process.

Blessings and Good Health,
Mitch

Path:  Technical services resources and information \ NLM
Classification

NLM is making the introductory materials, geographic table and
the list of new and deleted classification numbers of the NLM
Classification, 5th edition, available on the gopher to libraries
who wish to use the new classification numbers before they
receive the publication from GPO.  These files will be available
through March 1995.

Included are:
Introduction -- Provides a brief history of the Classification and
                the scope of the revision.
NLM Classification Practices -- Provides a brief overview of NLM
                classification practices, including special plans, serial
                publications, application of Library of Congress Schedules,
                and changes in classification practice since the 4th
                edition was published.
Table G -- Provides instructions for applying Table G notations for
                geographic arrangement, as well as the table itself,
                including a listing of obsolete notations.
Introduction to the Index of the Classification -- Provides
                an overview to the Index and instructions on its use.
Numbers Added or Deleted -- Consists of two tables, the first for
                the new numbers and the second for the deleted ones.  These
                tables may be especially useful to librarians who wish to
                apply the new numbers immediately.

The Schedules themselves and the Index to the Classification will
not be available on the gopher.

The documents are available in a WP5.1 version and an ASCII version.

Vor wenigen Minuten erhielt ich eine Anfrage, die ich nicht zu

Loesung??!

Eine praktizierende Aerztin hatte von einem mir unbekannten
amerikanischen Computerprogramm gehoert, welches in der Lage sein
soll, englischsprachige medizinische Texte oder auch Aufsaetze in die
deutsche Sprache zu uebersetzen. Falls Ihnen dieses Programm bekannt
sein sollte, teilen Sie mir bitte mit:
- Wer vertreibt dieses Programm?
- Wie ist die Qualitaet einzuschaetzen?
- Wieviel kostet es?
Fuer Hinweise danke ich herzlich! Gruss Ralf Brugbauer, Marburg

          wer kann mir in folgender Angelegenheit helfen:

          Ich suche Informationen }ber bereits existierende Netzwerke
          / Informationssyteme zu den Themen "Krebs" und "Herz-/Kreis-
          lauf", in Deutschland und in den }brigen EU-L{ndern. Ich
          habe von einem "Onco-Net" geh|rt, wei~ aber noch nichts
          N{heres dar}ber. Gibt es noch andere Netze? Sind irgendwo
          welche im Aufbau?

          Im voraus schon vielen Dank.

Liebe Kornelia
	Meine Meinung nach, Sie moechten Oncolink finden.  Hoeffenlich
haben Sie WWW oder koennen ein publicum WWW Platz (site) finden.
Die Addresse ist:	http://cancer.med.upenn.edu

Es gibt auch ein anderes WWW site mit viel Information von Medizin
Grunden (sources auf English).  Das URL ist:
	gopher://una.hh.lib.umich.edu/11/inetdirs/medclin:malet

Kann jemand Kornelia helfen das (die,der) WWW zu finden and benutzen?

Liebe INETBIB-Kolleginnen und -Kollegen,

nachfolgend moechte ich Euch/Sie auf ein - hoffentlich interessantes 
- Tagungsprogramm aufmerksam machen, das die Kollegen Hobohm, Hermes 
und ich fuer die Gesellschaft fuer Klassifikation zusammengestellt 
haben. Ich hoffe viele von Euch/Ihnen in Basel zu treffen.
Bis dann

Gesellschaft fuer Klassifikation e.V.

- Lernen und Wissen -
19. Jahrestagung -- Universitaet Basel -- 8.-10. Maerz 1995

Auszug aus dem vorlaeufigen Programm

Das Internet steht bei dieser Jahrestagung im Mittelpunkt der die 
Bibliothekare und Dokumentare interessierenden Vortraege. Das Chaos 
im Internet ordnet sich langsam auch dank der Klassifikationsarbeit 
von Bibliothekaren. In dem jaehrlichen, traditionellen 
Fortbildungskurs der GfKl werden Referenten in praktischen Demonstra-
tionen die Erschliessung der Informationsressourcen im Internet und 
die Recherchestrategien mit den verschiedenen Suchwerkzeugen 
darstellen. Die Moeglichkeiten und Schwierigkeiten bei der 
Klassifikation und Gewinnung von Information im Internet werden durch 
die Vortraege in den Sektionen vertieft.
Schliesslich lockt die Baseler Fassnacht unmittelbar vor der Tagung. 
Sie macht aber auch eine rechtzeitige Hotelbuchung erforderlich.

Annoucing HealthNet to Go,

The first version of an Internet package for Health Resources is now up on
FTP sites, I am dubbing it HealthNet to Go (was going to call it HealthNet
in a Box, but thought that sounded a little to much like another
commercial product :) ) .  HealthNet to go one of the HealthNet Internet
based projects from Industry Canada, Including the HealthNet WWW
Demonstration Project a single window acess point for Internet Health
Resources on the Internet.  To find out more go to the HealthNet Projects
Web Site:  http://debra.dgbt.doc.ca/~mike/home.html

A description follows below,

HealthNet to GO!

HealthNet to GO! is an exercise to optimize currently available Internet
tools for the health community.  It consists of a number of different
packages which can be easily installed and allow the health Internet user
to easily access a number of different health related sites.

Important !!! Disclaimer:  HealthNet to GO! is NOT a commercial product,
is NOT for resale purposes, is NOT supported and we take NO responsiblity
for any problems it may cause.  It is a reconfiguration of different
currently available Internet software to "point" to health related content
around the Internet.  HealthNet to GO! and the related projects with the
goal of enabling users to make better use of the content that is currently
available to them.

It is currently available for Windows 3.1x formats and assumes that the
user either has access to SLIP (or SLIP like access - through something
like TIA), or a direct connection via a LAN and is thus capable of using
Windows 3.1x interfaces to access the Internet.

It is hoped that by providing easier installation and preconfigured
pointers that new health users on the
Internet will be able to start using Internet to be able to assist them
in their work.

HealthNet to GO is available in a number of formats

a) FORMAT1: The full "plug and play format"

HealthNet to Go! has an easy plug and play install package and should be
installed from three 1.44M, 3.5" Diskettes.

This package includes**:

- Netscape WWW browser, preconfigured to point at different health sites
around the Internet, (under bookmark menu item).
- Viewers for images, mpeg and quicktime movies preconfigured to work
with Netscape
- Trumpet Newsreader and Emailer preconfigured to point at Newsgroups
around the Internet
- Telnet client preconfigured to work with Netscape - SLIP dialer
client for Windows

(** all software are currently available freeware or shareware products)

To install HealthNet to Go from an FTP site follow the instructions below:

WARNING:  If you are already using Netscape this format will copy over the
netscape.ini in your Windows directory to ensure that this will not cause
you problems check your Windows directory and copyu any netscape.ini files
to netscape2.ini (or any other name) to ensure that any information there
is saved.


1) ftp to  : hpb1.hwc.ca or ftp.uncc.edu (login as anonymous, password is
your Internet address)

2) If you are using an FTP client change directory to: pub/healthnet (for
hpb1) or  cmc/hlthnet for (uncc.edu)

Subject: Re: pharmacy sources on the internet

The best overall view of pharmacy info/bbs/listservs I have found is:
        http://157.142.72.77/pharmacy/pharmint.html
This was set-up and is maintained by a pharmacist at U of OK.  Both
commerical and academic sites are listed.

The URL for PharmWeb (Univ of Manchester/UK) is:
        http://www.mcc.ac.uk/pharmacy/

PharmInfoNet (which is also accessible through the first URL I listed
above) is maintained by PIA Ltd, but "resides" at U Penn.  It is devoted
to pharmaceutical information and plans to include package inserts and
other info for physicians and pharmacists.
The direct URL is:
        http://cancer.med.upenn.edu/oh/buhle/pia1/piahp2.html
        (that a number one in pia1 above)

Hope this is helpful.

Subject: New issue of Electronic Green Journal available

Please forgive the duplication caused by cross-posting of the
following to several library and environmental listservs.  Please
feel free to forward this posting to any individual or list that
would be interested in it.

The University of Idaho Library announces the availability of the
second issue of the ELECTRONIC GREEN JOURNAL (ISSN: 1076-
7975).

The ELECTRONIC GREEN JOURNAL is a professional refereed
publication devoted to disseminating information concerning
sources on international environmental topics including:
assessment, conservation, development, disposal, education,
hazards, pollution, resources, technology, and treatment.
Environmental issues  frequently cross national borders; therefore,
our journal encourages the international sharing of environmental
expertise. The journal serves  communities as an educational
environmental resource, and includes both  practical and scholarly
articles, bibliographies, reviews, editorial  comments, and
announcements.  We are academically sponsored; however, our
focus is for the educated generalist as well as the specialist.

Advertisements are accepted at a rate of $150/screen (24 lines x 70
characters/line) or portion thereof for commercial organizations and
$75/screen for non-profit organizations.  Text or images can be
accommodated.

The journal is available via gopher, worldwide web, ftp
or by subscription.

Subject: New listserv targets MLA Cancer Section Librarians

Announcing a new listserv for MLA Cancer Section Librarians and others with
an interest in Cancer Library and Information Issues:

CANCERLIB is a new list created to facilitate electronic communication via
the internet among members of the Medical Library Association Cancer
Library Section as well as other health science and research librarians who
are particularly interested in the issues relevant to the section and to
the initiatives of cancer librarians.

CANCERLIB will serve as a forum for section business and for sharing ideas,
questions, announcements etc...  Subscribers can exchange information about
research and administrative issues in their libraries, notify each other
about planning and progress in various areas of library service, and
coordinate section related activities.

CANCERLIB is not intended to duplicate or replace Medlib-L, but rather to
serve as a more specialized adjunct for those of us who have some very
common issues and concerns.  The list will be as useful as the collective
efforts of those of us who use it as a forum for communication.  For
example, how often have you wondered specifically about the CORE grant
process at other institutions or just wanted some help justifying positions
by getting data from comparable organizations.  CANCERLIB can increase your
audience and cut down on individual phonecalls and e-mails!

CANCERLIB has been established, with technical support from the Fred
Hutchinson Cancer Research Center Public Health Sciences Administrative
Computing Department and Library Services.

Address messages to the CANCERLIB list to: cancerlib@mule.fhcrc.org.

To subscribe to the CANCERLIB list send a message to:
listserv@mule.fhcrc.org, leave the subject line blank and the following
message in the body:
subscribe cancerlib .

We also expect to make the list's archives available through the FHCRC
newsfeed and the FHCRC Web and Gopher resources.

I am sure that it will take a while for the list to get rolling and I
encourage all of you to use it to serve your information needs.  For
additional information about CANCERLIB or with suggestions on how to most
effectively use this new resource please contact:

IF it is VERITAS, why don't you collect Nobel Prize first

Subject: NEW: NEUROPSYCH-HIV-AIDS - professional list

neuropsych-hiv-aids via eliot@netcom.com

   The HIV/AIDS population is somewhat unique in the degree to which
   psychiatric dysfunction is likely to result from a combination of
   neurological, psychopharmacological and psychological factors.

   The purpose of the neuropsych-hiv-aids list is

      (1) to provide a single forum for discussion of psychological and
      neurobehavioral (i.e.  neuropsychiatric / neurocognitive) dysfunction
      in individuals with HIV disease, AND, thereby,

      (2) to promote and facilitate the multidisciplinary sensitivity
      required of medical, mental health and other professionals engaged in
      clinical practice with and/or research regarding individuals with HIV
      disease.

   Membership will be limited primarily to holders of an M.D., D.O.,
   and/or Ph.D in clinical or counselling psychology.

   Psychology graduate students (clinical and counselling) and others
   who:

      (1) currently are engaged in professional research about (and/or
      supervised pre-doctoral clinical work with) individuals who have
      HIV/AIDS related neuropsychological / psychiatric dysfunction, or

      (2) otherwise have substantial demonstrable facility with the medical
      and/or psychological challenges confronted by mental health care
      professionals who are working with individuals who manifest
      HIV-related psychological / neuropsychiatric dysfunction

   will be considered for membership on a case by case basis.

   If you would like to join / subscribe to this List / conference,
   please contact the owner directly to initiate the subscription
   process.

   Owner:  Eliot  eliot@netcom.com

   * NOTE: I would appreciate hearing from anyone who possibly would be
           willing to assist me in a co-administration of this List.

CULTURE AND NURSING--The Culture and Nursing list is a new list
sponsored by the School of Nursing at the University of California
- San Francisco.  This list was created for nurses and other health
care professionals interested in topics relating to culture and
health.

The moderators of this list are seeking to create an on-line
community which encourages the exchange of ideas in this exciting
new field.  The list will allow participants to address areas of
cultural competence, theory, practice, research, and experience in
an open and unmoderated forum.  It will give list members the
chance to discuss some of the political, economic, and demographic
issues affecting health care today.  It will also be an opportunity
to meet others working in the field of cross cultural and
transcultural nursing.

To subscribe to Culture and Nursing, send a mail message to:

majordomo@itssrv2.ucsf.edu

We strung them together with Christmas ribbon and made garlands to
decortate the library .... Last year we hung them individually
from the ceiling. The garlands are prettier and can be kept from
year to year.

b)
SilverPlatter has not yet found a cost-effective way to recycle
outdated CD-ROM's.  We donate outdated CD-ROM's to a local jewelry
maker, and we have also donated them to local charities which make
Christmas decorations from them.

Alternatively is there research ongoing in the general use of NMES for
stroke treatment.

Subject: ASpB-Tagung in Hamburg - Vorprogramm

Liebe INETBIB-lerInnen,
als Vorprogramm der ASpB-Tagung vom 21. bis 25. Maerz hier in Hamburg,
die vorwiegend dem Thema Internet oder Virtuelle Bibliothek gewidmet ist,
findet in der Universiaetsbibliothek der TU Hamburg-Harburg ein informelles
Treffen fuer FachreferentInnen der Naturwissenschaften und andere
Interessierte statt:

Termin: Dienstag, 21. Maerz 1995, 16-19 h
Ort: UB der TUHH, Denickestr. 22, 21073 Hamburg (Harburg)

Themen sollen u.a. sein:
- Fachreferat und Internet - Erfahrungen, Moeglichkeiten, Aufgaben
- Elektronische Medien in der Bibliothek - Praxis und Zukunft

Das Treffen soll den persoenlichen, praxisbezogenen Erfahrungsaustausch
ermoeglichen. Anregungen zu den genannten Themen ueber diese Liste sind
willkommen.
Konkret waere ich an Beispielen interessiert, wo und wie bisher
im Rahmen des Fachreferats schon "Internet-Arbeit" (was ist das ueberhaupt
?) geleistet worden ist oder auch wo und wie schon welche Zugaenge zu
elektronischen Zeitschriften realisiert worden sind. Meiner Ansicht nach
werden die Bibliotheken zur Zeit mit Angeboten und Moeglichkeiten,
elektronische Zeitschriften zu beziehen, ueberschuettet, ohne sich selbst
genuegend darauf vorbereitet zu haben (dies ist jedenfalls bei uns so !).

Herzliche Gruesse aus Harburg,

Thomas

Naeheres dazu koennen Sie aus dem folgenden, zur Verbreitung ueber die
Fachpresse usw. vorgesehenen Text entnehmen.


Mit freundlichen Gruessen

SWB-Verbundzentrale                         Konstanz, 11.01.95


Fuer BISLOK-Anwender:

Eroeffnung einer Diskussionsliste via E-Mail


Wie die Anwendertreffen zu BISLOK zeigen, besteht ein starker Bedarf an
Informationsaustausch zwischen BISLOK-Anwendern. Viele Anwender kaempfen
mit Problemen, die andere Anwender bei sich bereits geloest haben.  Und je
besser Anwender ihre Probleme untereinander kennen, desto einheitlicher
koennen sie gegenueber der Anbieterfirma auftreten.

Deshalb hat die Universitaet Konstanz auf Wunsch des Suedwestdeutschen
Bibliotheksverbundes (SWB) eine Diskussionsliste fuer BISLOK-Anwender zu
sowohl technischen wie bibliothekarischen Fragen eingerichtet. In diese
Liste koennen sich alle BISLOK-Anwender oder BISLOK-Interessenten
eintragen, die die Moeglichkeit haben, E-Mails zu senden und zu empfangen.
Sobald man sich in die Liste eingetragen hat, kann man eigene Beitraege per
E-Mail in die Diskussionsliste einbringen und erhaelt auch automatisch die
Beitraege der anderen Teilnehmer an der Diskussionsliste per E-Mail
zugeschickt.



1) Wie koennen Sie sich in die Liste eintragen?

Senden Sie eine E-Mail an:

               listproc@uni-konstanz.de

Als 'Subject' Ihrer Nachricht koennen Sie einen beliebigen Text
eintragen.

In die eigentliche E-Mail tragen Sie bitte nur folgende Zeile ein:

               subscribe  bislok    

Beispiel:

               subscribe  bislok  gudrun  pausewang

Senden Sie die E-Mail ab. Ihre E-Mail-Adresse, unter der Sie spaeter
Nachrichten erhalten werden, entnimmt der Listserver dem Kopf
Ihrer Nachricht.




2) Wie koennen Sie Nachrichten in die Liste einbringen?

Nachdem Sie sich in die Liste eingetragen haben, senden Sie Ihre E-Mail zum
Thema BISLOK bitte an:

               bislok@uni-konstanz.de

Als 'Subject' Ihrer Nachricht tragen Sie bitte kurz das Thema ihres
Beitrages ein, z.B.:

               BISLOK 2.1 (AIX) Sekundaerkorrekturen



3) Wie koennen Sie sich aus der Liste wieder austragen?

Senden Sie Ihre Abschieds-E-Mail bitte an:

               listproc@uni-konstanz.de

Als 'Subject' Ihrer Nachricht koennen Sie wiederum einen beliebigen Text
eintragen.

In die eigentliche E-Mail tragen Sie bitte nur folgende Zeile ein:

               unsubsribe  bislok

Senden Sie die E-Mail ab. Danach sind Sie aus der Liste ausgetragen und
erhalten keine E-Mails der betreffenden Diskussionsliste mehr.




4) Wer verwaltet die Liste?

Die BISLOK-Diskussionsliste wird von Herrn Jacquin in der
SWB-Verbundzentrale an der Universitaet Konstanz verwaltet. Bei Fragen oder
Problemen zur Liste senden Sie bitte eine E-Mail an:

               jacquin@mail.swbv.uni-konstanz.de

oder rufen Sie an: Telefon (07531) 88-3134.

        I am a graduate student at the College of Library and Information
Services, University of Maryland, College Park.  I thought the following
information garnered from a lecture from one of my classes might throw
an interesting perspective on this thread.  It shows an historical view
on information storage and retrieval over the past 7000 years.

INFORMATION STORAGE

3000 B.C.       Clay tablets    1 character/1 cubic inch (cci)
1450 A.D.       Printed page    500 cci
1990s           Optical disk    125,000,000,000 cci

COMPUTATION

5000 B.C.       Abacus          2-4 instructions per second (psi)
1945 A.D.       Computer        100 ips
1960            Computer        100,000 ips
1970s           Computer        1,000,000 ips
1980s           Computer        10,000,000 ips
1990s           Computer        1,000,000,000 ips

TRANSMISSION OF INFORMATION

4000 B.C.       Messenger       .01 words per minutes (wpm)
1844 A.D.       Telegraph       50-60 wpm
1980s           Cable/fiber     1,000,000,000 wpm
1990s           Fiber           100,000,000,000 wpm

---Most interesting of all ---

HUMAN INFORMATION PROCESSING

4000 B.C.       Written language        300 wpm
Today           Written language        300 wpm

4000 B.C.       Visual images           100,000,000 bits per glance
Today           Visual images           100,000,000 bits per glance

4000 B.C.       Spoken language         120 wpm
Today           Spoken language         120 wpm

        The point is, despite enormous technological leaps, the human capacity
for understanding and assimilation has remained constant.  While we have
complexity, we suffer with confusion, overload and bottlenecks.  There is
a definite need for reflection upon the best means to adapt and
accommodate what the machine has to offer with human limitations.

Liebe MEDIBIBler,

Die soeben weitergeleitete Mail zur "Information Explosion" aus der
Liste Bi-l hat mit Medizin nicht direkt viel zu tun. Sie haette an
Inetbib gehen sollen. Sorry fuer das Missgeschick. Nun habe ich selbst
zur Informationsflut beigetragen, hoffentlich aber auch zum Amusement.

Also ich fand die Info ueber die Info amuesant, es machte mich aber auch
fuer einen Moment lang nachdenklich. Nur zu! In der Mail stand zwar
nirgenswo "Medizin" oder "Health", aber ich denke, wir sind auch davon
betroffen...

INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS COMING TO LONDON

The 8th International Congress on Medical Librarianship (8ICML)
will take place in London in the year 2000:  probably  June 18-21st at
the Wembley Conference Centre.  The international congress will be
combined with the annual meeting of the MHWLG and the biennial
European meeting of EAHIL.

The Congerss has been awarded by IFLA to an ad-hoc bid committee
chaired by David Stewart, Librarian of the RSM.  The purpose of this
announcement is partly to get the dates into the diary of those who
take long-term planning really seriously; but mainly to call for
volunteers to join the organising team.

We hope to attract up to 1,500 delegates from all over the world, and
an event on this scale provides a mountain of work.  This will mainly
be in London, but the bid committee is anxious to involve the whole of
the UK profession.

Volunteers are invited to write to David Stewart at the RSM, or to
contact me by email or other means at the BMA.

                                                  Tony McSean

neuropsych-hiv-aids via eliot@netcom.com

   The HIV/AIDS population is somewhat unique in the degree to which
   psychiatric dysfunction is likely to result from a combination of
   neurological, psychopharmacological and psychological factors.

   The purpose of the neuropsych-hiv-aids list is

      (1) to provide a single forum for discussion of psychological and
      neurobehavioral (i.e.  neuropsychiatric / neurocognitive) dysfunction
      in individuals with HIV disease, AND, thereby,

      (2) to promote and facilitate the multidisciplinary sensitivity
      required of medical, mental health and other professionals engaged in
      clinical practice with and/or research regarding individuals with HIV
      disease.

   Membership will be limited primarily to holders of an M.D., D.O.,
   and/or Ph.D in clinical or counselling psychology.

   Psychology graduate students (clinical and counselling) and others
   who:

      (1) currently are engaged in professional research about (and/or
      supervised pre-doctoral clinical work with) individuals who have
      HIV/AIDS related neuropsychological / psychiatric dysfunction, or

      (2) otherwise have substantial demonstrable facility with the medical
      and/or psychological challenges confronted by mental health care
      professionals who are working with individuals who manifest
      HIV-related psychological / neuropsychiatric dysfunction

   will be considered for membership on a case by case basis.

   If you would like to join / subscribe to this List / conference,
   please contact the owner directly to initiate the subscription
   process.

   Owner:  Eliot  eliot@netcom.com

   * NOTE: I would appreciate hearing from anyone who possibly would be
           willing to assist me in a co-administration of this List.

From:    Bet Ison 
Subject: Re: Medical libraries of the future?

Here are my thoughts on "the medical library of the future"
(opinions may vary on the value of the ideas expressed here!)


1.  More centralized "corporate" libraries, with affiliated
non professionally staffed hospital libraries/information services.
As hospitals merge into large corporations, centralizing library
services will seem to be a cost efficient measure.
                Good?  Bad?  I suspect that this will improve
information services at some hospitals that formally had no
professional backup, and be hard to accept for some hospitals
which have had their own professionally run libraries in the past.


2.  Power shifts in hospitals - from doctors to administration.  The
day that the "doctors" got everything they wanted in hospitals is
almost over (over already for some of us).   Better look to your
power base - if you are in an adversarial position with your
administration - supported only by the physcians on your staff.
        Possibly this shift moves on to consumer power - in which
case - are you directly visible to the patient?  their family?
your community?


3.   Shift in focus of collection - to include more preventive medicine.
In my library we are still almost entirely focused on disease.  But
as my institution works more to become a partner in "keeping the
community healthy"  and increases its number of affiliated primary
care centers, I have got to work to support this with the collection
and services.

4.   More independent users and learners.  Are you all experiencing the
same trend that we are seeing - an increasing popularity of home
or individualized learning to meet continuing education credits?
What an opportunity for the library to provide access to this type
of material!  Doesn't this mean that we are also going to have to
revamp our own training materials?  What access can we provide to
information for these individuals?

5.   New technology, what a frightening thought!  I keep thinking if
I have to learn one more program - I am going to fall apart - and as
for the complexities of the internet, telemedicine, and health care
reform........               I see an increased
role for consultants and network coordinators - our membership in the
Eastern Kentucky Health Science Information Network has meant that
we were able to plan and implement grant programs that we never
would have been able to do on our own.  Coordinated education for
new technology, someone to set it up for you, and plan it (and find
grant funding for it) is going to be increasingly important in this
fast moving environment.


Finally, for all of you who said such kind things after my JCAHO posting
the following update:   We have moved equipment, books, desks, and
ourselves 10 times in the last 3 months as we avoided the construction
workers and the resulting dust and leaks.  Incredibly library services have
still survived, library staff is a little tattered, but still, for the
most part, whole.  The survival of our sanity is due in great part to
an adminstration who have treated us a valuable (and a not-to-be-done-
without) resource and a plant services department who has put in electical
outlets, restrung phone lines, and even built walls at our request, as well
as responding immediately to cries of "leak! flood!"
        Our reward comes sometime this spring (March, April?),
when we will get to move into our new space 2-3 times the size of our
present library.  Instead of losing our old space (which adjoins the
new) to quality management -  new telemedicine conference and clinical
space is being added to the library (in addition to the aforementioned
space and  yes,
they did put salary money in for this, although perhaps not enough.)


Yes, life is an adventure - but, at least, it's fun!

THEME
*****
More and more the requirements placed on modern information systems 
from the system's and the user's point of view do not allow a separate 
view of problems.  Hence the special interest groups 'Hypertext' 
(4.9.1), 'Information Retrieval' (2.5.4/4.9.3) and 'Multimediate 
electronic documents' (4.9.2) within the German Society for Computer 
Science (GI), the Austrian Computer Society (VCG), the Swiss Society 
of Computer Scientists (SI) and the Academic Association for 
Information Science (HI) will hold a joint conference with focus on 
hypertext (HT), information retrieval (IR) and multimedia (MM).

HIM'95 continues a successful series of meetings in German-speaking 
countries: It is the fifth hypertext conference (following Basel, 
Darmstadt, Graz and Zuerich), the second information retrieval-meeting 
after Regensburg and the second meeting of the special interest group 
'multimediate electronic documents'.
The meeting emphasizes the following issues:

Models for HT, IR and MM
Systems' architecture and implementation
Applications of HT, IR and MM-systems
Standards for interfaces, exchange formats and query languages
Content representation in HT, IR and MM-systems
Cognitive aspects in the use of  HT, IR and MM-systems
Authoring systems
Structure and administration of document sets
Distributed and open HT, IR and MM-systems
Requirements on large HT, IR and MM-systems
Database support of HT, IR and MM-systems
Cooperative, adaptive and knowledge based methods
Interaction and user interfaces
Quality, acceptance and evaluation
HT, IR and MM-systems as means of information management

Hallo, liebe Medibib-ler!
Dies ist meine erste Anfrage an die Listenteilnehmer!
Ein Benutzer behauptet, es g!be im Internet die M!glichkeit, med. Literatur
bis 1944(?) zu recherchieren. Nach meinen Informationen geht Medlars zur!ck
bis 1964 und damit hat sich auch schon, oder etwa nicht???
Falls mir da etwas entgangen ist und jemand eine andere Bezugsquelle f!r
!ltere medizinische Literaturnachweise im Internet kennt, w!re ich !ber eine kurze
Info-Mail sehr dankbar!
Herzlichst
Markus Aurand

Das scheint wirklich ein Tippfehler zu sein (auch wenn die Aussage "Medline
uebers Internet" etwas verwirrend ist, da es nur ueber Compuserve bzw. DIMDI
geht und ordentlich Geld kostet).

Ausnahme natuerlich: die med. Buecher, die bis ultimo recherchierbar sind
(je nach Bibliothek).

Liebe Medibibler,
wer medlib-l subscribiert, hat vielleicht schon bemerkt, dass ich mich nicht
mehr halten konnte (vor lachen) und sofort ein reply verfasste, als ich das
ueber die stillenden europaeischen Maenner las (siehe Nr.7).
Ich hoffe, sie haben ebensolche Freude an dieser absolut ernst gemeinten
Auskunftsfrage wie ich. :-)

THEME
*****
More and more the requirements placed on modern information systems
from the system's and the user's point of view do not allow a separate
view of problems.  Hence the special interest groups 'Hypertext'
(4.9.1), 'Information Retrieval' (2.5.4/4.9.3) and 'Multimediate
electronic documents' (4.9.2) within the German Society for Computer
Science (GI), the Austrian Computer Society (VCG), the Swiss Society
of Computer Scientists (SI) and the Academic Association for
Information Science (HI) will hold a joint conference with focus on
hypertext (HT), information retrieval (IR) and multimedia (MM).

HIM'95 continues a successful series of meetings in German-speaking
countries: It is the fifth hypertext conference (following Basel,
Darmstadt, Graz and Zuerich), the second information retrieval-meeting
after Regensburg and the second meeting of the special interest group
'multimediate electronic documents'.
The meeting emphasizes the following issues:

Models for HT, IR and MM
Systems' architecture and implementation
Applications of HT, IR and MM-systems
Standards for interfaces, exchange formats and query languages
Content representation in HT, IR and MM-systems
Cognitive aspects in the use of  HT, IR and MM-systems
Authoring systems
Structure and administration of document sets
Distributed and open HT, IR and MM-systems
Requirements on large HT, IR and MM-systems
Database support of HT, IR and MM-systems
Cooperative, adaptive and knowledge based methods
Interaction and user interfaces
Quality, acceptance and evaluation
HT, IR and MM-systems as means of information management

From:    Silver Platter Information <0005025691@MCIMAIL.COM>
Subject: SilverPlatter's 1995 MEDLINE Regeneration

We thought that our MEDLINE subscribers would be interested in
the status of the 1995 MEDLINE regeneration.  Our Database Design,
Database Development, and Production Groups created a project plan
for the 1995 MEDLINE regeneration to ensure the swiftest possible
release of the database.

The National Llibrary of Medicine had predicted it would begin to
ship data tapes to all their licensees starting the week of 12/19/94;
SilverPlatter's MEDLINE tapes arrived in-house on 12/30/94, the
earliest we have ever received this data.  Because of the timely
NLM tape delivery, and the planning work we did prior to mid-December,
we are on schedule.  The first several CD's of the set have already
been sent to the mastering plant.

We expect to begin shipping MEDLINE 1995 to customers on January 24,
and to begin shipping to MEDLINE Express customers on January 27, 1995.

The U.S. Government Printing Office (U.S. G.P.O.) today notified
the National Library of Medicine that the National Library of
Medicine Classification, 5th edition, is now scheduled for

From:    "Stephanie C. John" 
Subject: Breastfeeding/lactating males in Europe

That subject got your attention, didn't it?  It's a real reference
question.  An OB resident says that "people in Europe are experimenting
with having males breastfeed because the mother works".  She's sure of
it.  Certain.  A search of MEDLINE from 1990-94 turned up zip.  Ditto for
EMED.  I'm going to try lactation type listservs on the Internet and
calling La Leche (and believe me, it's hard to keep a neutral tone with
this question).  Any other ideas?  (I almost asked if she was put up to
this because we have a history here of giving each other facetious
MEDLINE search requests as practical jokes - but nobody I know would dare
ask this lady to participate in such a joke!  If you're curious, ask me
about the fake reference request about using discarded foreskins from
circumsions to replace congenitally-absent eyelids.  I'd post it here,
but the punchline uses a mildly dirty word.)

Thanks for any help you can offer - even a "yeah, I've been there"!

This is an invitation to join a mail list for discussion
on non-pharmacologic prevention of coronary heart disease.

All are welcome.


The Cardiac Prevention Research Centre was created through
collaboration between Dalhousie University and Marion Merrell Dow
(Canada) Inc.  Its goals are to promote research into and
communication about the non-pharmacological prevention of
coronary heart disease.  This mail list is to help fulfil the
communication goal.

The mail list is not moderated and open to any discussion and
questions about prevention of coronary heart disease that does
not involve medications.  Diet, exercise and smoking are obvious
subjects for discussion, but we should not forget economic,
social, educational and cultural factors.  Because cholesterol
and triglycerides are likely to be mentioned, and because
subscribers may come from the U.S. and other parts of the world I
provide the following conversions:

     To convert cholesterol, HDL, or LDL from mmol/L to mg/dL,
     multiply by 38.7.  Thus a cholesterol of 5 mmol/L is
     equivalent to 194 mg/dL.

     To convert triglycerides from mmol/L to mg/dL, multiply by
     88.5.  Thus a triglyceride level of 2.5 mmol/L is
     equivalent to 221 mg/dL.


- To subscribe to the list send mail to: 
     mailserv@ac.dal.ca

> DUBLIN, Ohio, Jan 24, 1995--OCLC has designed a World Wide Web
> interface for the OCLC Electronic Journals Online system that
> will make subscriber access to journals possible from multiple
> computer platforms using NCSA Mosaic software.
> 
> Using the Mosaic software, IBM PC, Macintosh and UNIX users have
> access to the full text, color and halftone images, graphics,
> complex equations and tables available in OCLC Electronic
> Journals Online.  The Electronic Journals Online system for IBM
> PC users is also available through Guidon, OCLC's Windows-based
> graphical user interface.
> 
> _Applied Physics Letters Online_, the electronic version of the
> weekly journal published by the American Institute of Physics
> (AIP), is the first of the OCLC Electronic Journals Online to be
> available through the Web.  Other OCLC Electronic Journals Online
> will be available on the Web over the course of 1995.
> 
> _Applied Physics Letters Online_ is now available to subscribers
> through the "On Ramp to OCLC Services" at the OCLC Home Page,
> http://www.oclc.org/ on the World Wide Web.

> "I firmly believe that Mosaic and other Web browsers represent a
> revolution in communication technology," said Peggy Judd, AIP
> director of information technology.  "Publishing _Applied Physics
> Letters Online_, the first physics journal to be fully accessible
> via the Web and Mosaic, clearly establishes the
> American Institute of Physics as a significant electronic
> publisher and marks its participation in this important new way
> of communicating with the world-wide scientific community."
> 
> "OCLC's goal is to provide convenient, world-wide access to
> important scholarly journals via the user's choice of a variety
> of graphical interfaces and platforms," said Andrea Keyhani,
> manager, OCLC electronic publishing.
> 
> According to Stuart Weibel, OCLC senior research scientist, there
> were two major tasks required to make Web-based scholarly journal
> access possible.
> 
> "We developed an automated process to translate from Standard
> Generalized Markup Language (SGML) to HyperText Markup Language
> (HTML), and to generate the special characters necessary for
> scholarly typography," said Dr. Weibel.  "We developed a
> specialized server that maintains session context for a user,
> which does not happen in a normal Web transaction.  By doing
> this, we have laid the foundation for fully Z39.50-compliant
> access to full text and reference database services."
> 
> "OCLC's Electronic Journals Online is the first commercial system
> to offer these advanced capabilities in a World Wide Web
> product," said Dr. Weibel.
> 
> "Development of the World Wide Web interface is an evolving
> process," said Ms. Keyhani.  "OCLC continues to study ways to
> improve the interface, and continues work with the National
> Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) and the Internet
> Engineering Task Force working group on HTML to improve the HTML
> standard itself."
> 
> A demonstration of the OCLC Electronic Journals Online service
> will soon be available through the World Wide Web.
> 
> To obtain a current list of EJO-compatible browsers and their
> EJO-required settings, use:
> 
> o   OCLC Reference Services Home Page.  Go to
> http://www.ref.oclc.org:2000.

Tutorial T_4:  Einfuehrung in Information Retrieval.
Organizer:     Prof. Dr. Norbert Fuhr, Univ. Dortmund
Time and Date: Dienstag 14.00 - 17.30
Aim:           Der traditionelle Forschungsgegenstand des Information
               Retrieval (IR) ist die inhaltlichen Suche in Text-
               bestaenden. Weder reichen die hierfuer von den Datenbank-
               systemen angebotenen Zeichenkettenfunktionen aus, noch
               bieten die derzeit auf dem Markt vertretenen speziali-
               sierten IR-Systeme (mit ihrer zudem umstaendlichen
               Bedienung) eine befriedigende Retrievalqualitaet. Schon
               25 Jahre alte Ansaetze aus der IR-Forschung ermoeglichen
               dagegen eine effektivere Suche bei gleichzeitig 
               einfacherer Bedienung. Hierbei werden Anfragen als vage
               aufgefasst und die Repraesentation der Textinhalte als
               mit Unsicherheit behaftet angesehen; anstelle einer
               fest umrissenen Antwortmenge wird daher eine nach
               fallender "Aehnlichkeit zur Anfrage geordnete Folge von
               Antworten bestimmt. 
               Ziel dieses Kurses ist es, neuere, grundlegende
               Konzepte aus dem Bereich des IR vorzustellen; ein Teil
               hiervon wird anhand experimenteller und teilweise auch
               im Internet verbreiteter Systeme demonstriert. Auf
               gaengige kommerzielle Systeme wird hingegen nicht
               eingegangen.

Intended
Audience:      Das Tutorium bietet eine Einfuehrung fuer alle an dem
               Gebiet "`Information Retrieval"' Interessierte, 
               insbesondere fuer Entwickler und Anwender von
               IR-Systemen.

Abstract:      Offenheit von Hypertexten bzw. Hypertext-Systemen, ein
               Aspekt der in der Forschung in den Vordergrund gerueckt
               ist und auch in der Praxis an Bedeutung gewinnen wird,
               umfa_t eine Gruppe von Systemeigenschaften, wie
               - Verteiltheit / gro_e Datenmengen,
               - diversifizierte Nutzungsmoeglichkeiten,
               - Multi-Medialitaet,
               - heterogene Nutzergruppern,
               - Integration heterogener Informationsressourcen
                 (e-mail, Online-Db, etc.).
              Das Tutorial wird den Begriff der Offenheit im Zusammenhang
              mit Hypertext-Systemen einfuehren und plausibel machen. Der
              von derartigen Systemen zu erwartende Nutzen wird an
              konkreten Beispielen exemplarisch aufgezeigt.
              Abschlie_end wird auf Aspekte der Implementation derartiger
              Systeme eingegangen.
              Im einzelnen werden folgende Fragestellungen angesprochen: 
              - Struktur offener Hypertexte
              - Benutzerschnittstellen fuer offene Hypertext-System fuer
                die

Tutorial T_6:  Entwurf und Gestaltung kooperativer Hypermediasysteme.
Organizer:     Dr. Dr. Norbert Streitz, GMD Darmstadt
Time and Date: Mittwoch 09.00 bis 12.30
Aim:           In diesem Tutorial sollen die Teilnehmer einerseits das
               innovative Potential von Hypertext und Hypermedia fuer 
               Anwendungen im Bereich des computergestuetzten 
               kooperativen Arbeitens (CSCW - Computer-Supported
               Cooperative Work) kennenlernen. Andererseits soll
               dargestellt werden, wie existierende Hypermediasysteme
               um die Funktionalitaet verteilter und kooperativer
               Systeme erweitert werden muessen. Dazu gehoert auch
               die Perspektive, kooperative Hypermediasysteme als eine 
               Basis fuer Anwendungen auf den zur Zeit diskutierten
               Datenautobahnen (Information Super Highways) einzusetzen.
Intended 
Audience:      Das Tutorial wendet sich an Teilnehmer, die keine 
               speziellen Vorkenntnisse zu  Hypertext oder CSCW haben
               muessen. Das Tutorial richtet sich sowohl an aktuelle 
               oder potentielle Anwender als auch an Entwickler aus
               Forschung und Industrie.
Duration:      halbtaegig
Abstract:      Das Tutorial beginnt mit einer kurzen Einfuehrung in die
               Konzepte von Hypertext/Hypermedia und in ausgewaehlte
               Szenarios von CSCW-Anwendungen (z.B. kooperative
               Dokumenterstellung von zeitlich und raeumlich verteilten
               Gruppen, kooperatives Problemloesen, Argumentations- und
               Entscheidungsunterstuetzung). Dies betrifft sowohl die
               Zusammenarbeit vom persoenlichen Arbeitsplatz aus
               (desktop-based collaboration) als auch lokale und
               verteilte elektronische Gruppensitzungsraeume (electronic
               meeting rooms). Auf der Basis dieser Anwendungs-
               situationen werden Anforderungen fuer den Entwurf und die
               Gestaltung von kooperativen Informationssystemen
               abgeleitet. Dabei spielen z. B. Fragen der synchronen und
               der asynchronen Zusammenarbeit und der "weichen" 
               Uebergaenge zwischen Situationen eine wichtige Rolle. Es
               werden ausgewaehlte Beispiele von kooperativen 
               Hypermediaystemen vorgestellt und in Bezug auf die
               zugrundeliegenden Designentscheidungen kritisch
               diskutiert. Zum Abschlu wird ein Ausblick auf aktuelle
               Entwicklungen und sich abzeichnende Trends gegeben. Die
               interaktive Praesentation wird durch ausgewaehlte Video 
               Clips von Systemen ergaenzt.

Tutorial T_7:  Informationssuche in Multimedia-Datenbanken.
Organizer:     Prof. Dr. Peter Schaeuble, ETH Zuerich
Time and Date: Mittwoch 09.00 bis 12.30
Intended
Audience:      Alle Interessierte mit Grundkenntnissen im Bereich
               Informationssysteme.
Duration:      halbtaegig
Abstract:      Fuer die schnelle und flexible Bereitstellung von
               Information werden immer oefter moderne Informations-
               und Kommunikationstechnologien (Information
               Superhighways, Digitale Bibliotheken) eingesetzt.
               Insbesondere werden spezielle Muldimedia-
               Datenbanksysteme (Dokumenten-Management-Systeme)
               verwendet, um die schnell anwachsende Zahl verfuegbarer
               Dokumente zu verwalten und zu archivieren. Dabei haben
               wir es seit neuestem neben Text- auch vermehrt mit 
               Multimedia-Dokumenten zu tun, die Bilder, Audio-
               aufnahmen und Filmsequenzen enthalten, anstelle von
               Referenzen auf solche nichttextuelle Objekte. Die
               Multimedialitaet der Dokumente, die schnell anwachsende
               Zahl maschinenlesbarer Dokumentenkollektionen und
               deren komplexe Struktur haben dazu gefuehrt, da_ das
               Auffinden relevanter (und nur relevanter) Information
               schwieriger geworden ist.
               Das hier angekuendigte Tutorium ist dem Problem der 
               schwieriger gewordenen Informationssuche gewidmet.
               Es werden moderne Methoden vorgestellt, welche die 
               Informationssuche in grossen Multimedia-Datenbanken 
               optimal unterstuetzen. Ausserdem wird anhand von
               Systemdemonstrationen gezeigt, wie diese Methoden in
               verschiedenen Informationssystemen Anwendung finden.

Liebe Medibibler,
letzte Woche war nicht viel los in medlib-l, ausser dass die Liste
vollgestopft war mit Diskussionsbeitraegen, ob medlib-l moderiert (sprich
zensiert) werden sollte oder nicht. Anlass war eine Mail, die ganz
offensichtlich nichts, aber auch wirklich gar nichts mit dem Listenthema zu
tun hatte. Die andere Haelfte der Beitraege bestand aus einer modischen
Diskussion, ob die Bibliothek in XY-City, State ABC ihren orangen Teppich
gegen einen pinkfarbenen (oder was auch immer fuer eine Farbe) austauschen
sollte. Na ja, es gab auch noch was Interessantes...

Aus Anlass meines einwoechigen Urlaubs eine instaendige Bitte an Sie:

! ! ! Benutzen Sie bitte keine Programme, die _automatisch_ auf eine Mail
! ! ! antworten. In Zusammenhang mit einer ebenfalls automatisch sendenden
! ! ! Liste kann so leicht ein Teufelskreis von hin- und hergeschickten
! ! ! Mails entstehen, die natuerlich an alle Teilnehmer einer Liste
! ! ! geschickt werden und dort in nullkommanix den Briefkasten verstopfen.
! ! ! So was nennt man eine Listen-GAU und gehoert zum Schlimmsten, was
! ! ! einem sowohl als Teilnehmer als auch als "Owner" passieren kann.

Auf eine friedliche Woche.

Ihr Oliver Obst

P.S.: Ich habe natuerlich einen Vertreter ...

http://www.nnlm.nlm.nih.gov/

   The National Network of Libraries of Medicine is developing a
   World-Wide Web server with a national home page and a home page for
   each Regional Medical Library (RML). We are trying to provide you with a
   reasonable jumping off point for the Internet: if you have the national
   or regional home page as the first item in your WWW browser's bookmark
   list, we will provide you with much of the regional information you need
   from your RML and will also make the links for you to many of the valuable
   sources used by health librarians and health professionals. For example,

Subject: EMBASE (D&P) vs MEDLINE - SUMMARY

A few yrs ago we did a comparison between the two dbs re-drug related info
; what we find is: Embase is a lot more current than Medline and it also
has a lot more drug related info than Medline.

Whenever I am on an online drug hunt I use Embase, Biosis, IPA, and Chem
Abstracts.  Datastar now has the Derwent file DIFT now, I believe.
Have never taken the time to compare results, but I would expect to find
more in Embase because of their broader international coverage.  SCI is
also a good source.

I did a study several years ago comparing EMBASE (full database) with
MEDLINE on three nursing topics, including a drug-related topic.  We
found that EMBASE did enhance the MEDLINE search on the drug-related
topic.  In case you are interested in the article, here is the citation:

Burnham J, Shearer B.  Comparison of CINAHL, EMBASE and MEDLINE databases
for the nurse researcher. _Medical Reference Services Quarterly_ 1993
Fall; 12(3):46-57.

while I find MELDINE and excellent resource for Drug Related information,
I know I can always turn to EMBASE if I seem to strike out in MELDINE.
The nicke thing about EMBASE, is that EMBASE indexes every drug mentioned
in an aritcle and not just the call of drug as MEDLINE tends to do when
indexing to the most specific topic.  EMBASE is knows as the Drug
Information Database, and we make extensive use of this file.

Yes, Embase is considered to have better drug coverage,
and is often the only place to find articles on drugs
not yet approved in North America.  Embase also claims
to beat Medline for alternative medicine.  We hardly
ever use Embase, however, because of its price.
The other problem I've experiences with Embase is that
if the journals are not widely used enough in North
America to warrant NLM indexing them for Medline,
chances are that the journals won't be widely subscribed
to either, making it frustrating for users who get a
printout full of articles they can't get their hands on easily.

  Andrew asked if others had the experience of finding more Drug Related
  items on Embase rather than on Medline.  That has been my experience
also.
  It makes sense if you think about it, Excerpta Medica's initial thrust
  (this may still be true) was to index the world's literature on human
  medicine and particularly on drug-related literature.

Andrew -- In my work with students over many years, we found that they
always
got more references from EMBASE than from MEDLINE for their drug questions
and the references usually included many items that WERE in MEDLINE but
that
simply were not as thoroughly indexed for the drugs as in EMBASE. If you
want
more details, send me questions directly. Win Sewell

Embase indexes all articles twice.  The first time just for regular
indexing and then the second time special drug indexers reindex for drug
information.  They also have many more sub headings for drugs e.g. drug
interaction, drug development, drug combination etc.  Since DIALOG allows
onesearch searching it's very easy to be comprehensive and search both
MEDLINE and EMBASE.

    This is in response to the person who inquired about the
usefulness of EMBASE versus MEDLINE for drug information.  In their
1991 article, Biarez and associates found EMBASE to be the superior
database for drug information in a comparison of EMBASE and eight
other databases, including MEDLINE.  The citation for that article is
as follows:

    Biarez O., Sarrut B., Boreau, C.G., and Etiene, J.  "Comparison
and evaluation of nine bibliographic databases concerning adverse
drug reactions."  DICP 1991 Oct;25(10):1062-5.

    I also have subscribed to EMBASE Drugs and Pharmacology subset
on CD-ROM, available from SilverPlatter and now others probably.
Compared to MEDLINE, the EMBASE retrieval averaged 2-3 times as many
articles in the same time period for the same drug as MEDLINE.  Many
European drug trials were included in European journals not indexed
by MEDLINE.  Fortunately, most had useful abstracts.  Interlibrary
loans resulted but patrons were pleased.  The subset was costly,
however, and we had to drop it due to budgetary constraints.  New
drugs would also show up in the EMBASE database before they appeared
in MEDLINE.  For drug information, I have found EMBASE superior.  But
MEDLINE still serves the needs of most library users adequately.  I
can go online to EMBASE for the others.

        The Associate librarian here at Nova/Southeastern Health Sciences
 tells me that  indeed EMBASE is better and more extensive for resources
on new drugs and related queries.
        He also points out that EMBASE is more expensive.
        According to his "off the top of his head" estimate he would
guess a 20:1 hit ratio between medline and EMBASE on this topic.

     Pharmacodynamics, drug interactions and adverse effects are
     particularly well-covered in EMBASE and the descriptors and
     subheadings are much better adapted to searching these concepts than
     Medline. Also, for drugs approved elsewhere but not in the United
     States, or recently approved in the U.S. but in use longer elsewhere,
     EMBASE is much better.
     **However, consider the cost -- but a straight hour/hour,
     record/record relationship "doesn't compute". In the above cases, the
     improvement in search precision makes up for a great deal of the cost
     differential. In most other cases, including generally uncomplicated
     drug therapy, MEDLINE is as efficient and must more cost-effective.
     For clinical medicine, I've been able to justify using EMBASE only in
     the areas above or in the rare (clinical) instance when nothing
useful
     is found on Medline -- especially if non-English materials will be
     useful to the requestor. For research, it's a different question
     entirely.
     Effective use of EMBASE requires descriptors even more than Medline
     considering the cost of the database and, frankly, the greater
     precision of the descriptors. If you haven't already, take advantage
     of any of the free training and update seminars which include EMBASE.
     Consider the source -- I'm in a community hospital setting, and other
     circumstances could strongly affect the comparison.
