Kann jemand uns die Unterschied zwischen Gelbe und Rote Liste erklaeren?
Ich meine die Informacion darin.  Braucht man beides?
Auch,  Gelbe Liste kommt viermal des Jahres.  Ist die am letzten Quartal
die "latest edition?"  Soll man die andere wegschicken?
Entschuldigung. Mein Deutsch ist schlecht.

THE MEDICAL MATRIX PROJECT

YAHOO, Inc. and the Internet Working Group of the American Medical
Informatics Association Collaborate on an Internet Clinical Medicine
Search Engine!

A project has been advanced to provide a peer reviewed searchable
interface to Internet World Wide Web clinical medicine documents. The
project is a collaboration of the Internet Working Group of the American
Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and Yahoo Communications of Menlo
Park, Ca. Yahoo will contribute its advanced search engine that presents
Internet hypertext linked documents in response to keyword inquiries. The
clinical medicine resource providers of the Internet Working Group will
contribute template annotations to the rapidly evolving Internet clinical
medicine multimedia database. An Internet Working Group editorial board
will convene semiannually to consider content, quality, and technical
issues.

Participation, contributions and comments regarding this project are
encouraged.

Im Prinzip ist die Verwendung der beiden Listen Geschmackssache. Die
Rote Liste ist eigentlich ein Verzeichnis aller in D lieferbaren
Fertigarzneimittel (Handelsnamen), die Gelbe Liste enthaelt - soweit
ich weiss - noch einige zusaetzliche Informationen und ist durch die
quartalsweise Aktualisierung dann jeweils aktueller. Die Liste im vierten
Quartal unterscheidet sich m.E. nicht von den anderen Ausgaben (keine "latest
edition").

In diesem Jahr ist die Gelbe Liste der Roten Liste eindeutig vorzuziehen,
da aus "politischen Gruenden" (Generikaproblematik) die Rote Liste 1995
unvollstaendig ist (soll ab 1996 wieder anders werden).

QUALITY MATTERS

Quality is a key issue for today's Library & Information Services, for
'back room' activities as much as those 'front of house'.
Managers must ensure that services are provided to required standards of
quality, to satisfy the needs of end- users and the parent organisation.
Also, quality measures identify areas of excellence as well as those for
concern - thereby informing future management action.  Continuous quality
improvement must always be the goal.
This Conference will concentrate specifically on practical approaches to
quality.  The speakers have extensive personal experience of their topic
and they will talk about the pitfalls as much as the successes, the
drawbacks as much as the benefits.  Most of the major approaches will be
covered, providing a unique opportunity for participants to compare them
directly and to choose the most appropriate one for any particular
situation.


PARTICIPANTS

The Conference is aimed primarily at those responsible for maintaining
quality in Library & Information Services.  This includes not only managers
responsible for the work of others but also individuals concerned about
their own work.  Teaching staff, students and researchers will also gain
much from the proceedings.
Clearly, there is an emphasis on University Library & Information Services.
This does not preclude, however, participants from other academic
libraries nor indeed those from other sectors altogether.  There is much in
the Conference that will appeal to anyone with an interest in Library &
Information Services generally.


LOCATION

Bournemouth is a premier holiday resort and international conference
centre, with excellent shopping and entertainment facilities.   The town is
just 100 miles from London, well-served by the main road and rail networks.
Bournemouth University is one of the newer Universities, occupying an
attractive campus of modern, easily accessible buildings.
Residential accommodation is provided in the Student Village, in new
purpose-built houses comprising single study bedrooms and common living
areas.  Accommodation may be available for participants wishing to arrive
before the Conference or to extend their stay afterwards.  Please ask for
details.

Status: R

Liebe Medibibler!

Wie der ein oder andere vielleicht schon im Bibliotheksdienst gelesen hat
(im Heft 4/5 hatte ich nochmal kurz fuer unsere Liste geworben), habe ich
jetzt auch das Archiv der Liste, also die seit April 1994 gesammelten Mails
unter der Homepage der ZB Medizin zur Verfuegung gestellt. Fuer alle mit
einem WWW-Browser, die URL lautet:

http://medweb.uni-muenster.de/zbm/archiv.html

Es sind relativ grosse Files geworden (250Kbyte) - sorry.
Fuer alle ohne WWW-Browser: Ich schicke diese Archive auf Anfrage auch zu.

Ueber eine interessante Entwicklung ist auf dem Bibliothekartag gesprochen
worden: Die DFG foerdert ein Projekt, Internetressourcen systematisch zu
sammeln und anzubieten. Es soll sich am System der SSG-Bibliotheken
orientieren. Da grosse Gebiete wie die Medizin wohl schwerlich nur von einer
Bibliothek bearbeitet werden koennen, wurde der Vorschlag einer kooperativen
"Erwerbung" und Erschliessung gemacht. Hier koennten sich einige von uns
zusammentun und einen wirklich verlaesslichen Einstieg in die medizinischen
Internetressourcen erstellen.
Vorteil: 1. Endlich mal was vernuenftiges bei all dem Chaos im Internet und
Negativ-Beispielen gerade auch der deutschen Versuche (Karlsruhe,
Erlangen), dieses zu organisieren. 2. Bibliothaekare stehen fuer
Kontinuitaet. 3. Sie haben Kontakt mit den Fachleuten. 4. Sie koennen sich
dadurch profilieren (siehe dazu den schoenen Artikel von Rapael Ball in der
FAZ, 7.6., Seite N5). 5. usw., usw.
Nachteile: 1. Arbeit. 2. Arbeit. 3.  Arbeit.

Was halten Sie davon?

Auf der Jahrestagung in Muenster wird Gelegenheit bestehen, dies eingehend
zu diskutieren. Zumal dann das DFG-Projekt auch weiter fortgeschritten sein
wird (hoffentlich). Ein interessantes Thema: Die kooperative "Erwerbung",
Zurverfuegungstellung und Archivierung elektronischer medizinischer
Zeitschriften.

Zweite Frage: Besteht Interesse an einer Arbeitsgruppe "Universitaere
Medizinbibliotheken" auf der Jahrestagung? Neben den beiden schon vorhandenen
Gruppen "Arbeitskreis Krankenhausbibliotheken" und "Round Table
Pharmabibliotheken" waere dies sicherlich eine Bereicherung fuer unsere
Arbeitsgemeinschaft. Fuer & Wider, Themen und Namensvorschlaege fuer eine
solche AG sind herzlich willkommen. Wie immer interessiert mich Ihre
Meinung sehr!

Viele Gruesse aus Muenster,

Oliver Obst

Liebe Medibibler,
zuerst einmal moechte ich Peter Wolf in meinem (und sicher auch in
Ihrem) Namen herzlichen Dank fuer die Erstellung der Medlib-l-Digests in
den letzten 5 Wochen sagen.

Ich habe versucht, den heutigen Digest so uebersichtlich wie moeglich zu
machen, doch es sind wieder um die 30Kbyte geworden (wer soll das alles
lesen, frage ich mich manchmal :-). Ich werde deshalb in Zukunft noch
staerker selektieren, damit WIRKLICH nur noch das Wichtigste Sie erreicht.

Gruesse,

Oliver Obst

From:    Tom Flemming 
Subject: New _Journal of image guided surgery_

I have recently discovered the _Journal of image guided surgery_ on the
WWW and want to recommend that librarians reading this list take a look
at it.  It seems to me a method of e-publication vastly preferable to
that chosen by the _Online journal of current clinical trials_ about
which there has been much discussion in this forum.

The web address for the _Journal of image guided surgery_, a publication
of John Wiley & Sons Inc., follows:

                http://www.igs.wiley.com

You can register as a guest by filling in an on-line form and obtain
access to most of the features/services of the publication almost
immediately.  Guest access will be possible for only a short period of
time, I believe, so it is important to look at it now if you want to see
it without paying.

I think this model of e-publication should be encouraged because it is
easily accessed (as opposed to the OJCCT, which is offered on a
proprietary system, and is NOT easy to access), because it does not
appear to charge extra for each paper you read (as does the OJCCT), and
because the journal offers moderated discussion forums within the context of
the publication itself (the OJCCT does not) which hold out the promise of
impromptu conferences by experts which may permit the immediacy in
discussion that has always escaped the "Letters to the Editor" section
of print journals. The method of charging for access, the availability of
a print counterpart which makes citation much easier than in the OJCCT,
and the participation of a panel of recognized experts in the field all
suggest that thought has been given to overcoming the problems presented
by the model of e-publication represented by the OJCCT.

From:    Webster Library 
Subject: Summary: tests and procedures for patients (ready made materials)

We received several responses, and many thanks to all contributers.  All
in all, there isn't much out there, and some of the most recommeded
titles are a bit on the old side and out of print, too.

1. Shatsel p: Mecial tests and diagnostic procedures. Haper $ Row 1990 is
    OP.
2. Griffithe HW: Complete guide to medical tests; Tucson, Ariz: Fisher
        Books, 1988 (Loging Bokkstore #G8404  $24.95  New ed. promised,
        no date.
3. Pinckney c: the Patients guide to medical tests, 3rd ed. 1985. Fact on
      file. This is getting a bit too old. No date for new edition.

The Infotrac health Resources database provides full text to the following:
1. Mosby's Medical, Nursing, and allied Health Dictionary, 4th ed., 1994.
2. Gambino r: The Columbia Univ. Coll of Physicians & Surg Complete home
   medical Guide, 2nd ed., 1989.
3. Sobel, t: the People's Book of Medical Tests, 1st ed., 1955.  (No date
        for 2nd ed.)

Two promising new titles advertised by Loging Bro. in their Consumer
catalog is not yet out - although oublication date is 6/96 and there are
about 40 books already on order with them:

 -Griffith : Complete Guide to Medical tests - 2nd ed. Publisher
  Resources, Inc. price given by Login as 24.95 but there's no publication
  date as yet.   2 copies on Login's order.

- Everything you need to know about medical tests,  768 p., hardcover.
  Springhouse Pub. Login number 24.95.  Due 6/96.  50 copies on order.

- Everything you need to know about medical treatments.  Sprinhouse
  Publishing $24.95   Due 6/95  48 copies on order.

We reviewed some other stuff on our shelves and recommend the following:

A. The consumer medical desk reference: information your doctor can't or
won't tell you.  Stonesong Press Book, distributed for Hyperion bu Little
Brown, 1995.  Hardcover, 672 p. $24.95.. We paid 19.96.
Contains glossary, major body systems and how they work, drugs and their
side effects, section on explanations of procedures (brief, no
illustrations). Relevant material can be easily copied and presented to
patient at bedside.

B. The Merk Manual.  This is, or needs to be in all libraries, an is an
excellent resource for the average and definetely above average patient

C.Taber's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary. Same as above.  take a look, for
example, under Electrocardiogram, p. 566, anf following few pages.

Ther above is not an endorcement for Login Book distributors.  They are
local, some on their staff are ex-hospital librarians, and we have
developed personal relationships.  We also have access to their online data.
Consumer books sell at 20% off list.  But other vendors have similar policies.
We have been avoiding buying some of these titles, that best belong in
a Consumer Health Library, and need them now for committee consideration
as a means of improving patient satisfaction surveys results...

Youngson: Surgey Book: an illustrated guide to 73 of the most common
operations.  St. Marin's Press.  1993 $27.95 0-312-09398-5  Login #Y849

Bradley: Patients' guide to surgey.  St. Martin's Press, 1994 $16.95
0-89043-752-1  Login #B6949

Cannot vouch fo these since we have not seen them as yet.

Thanks again, and keep sending suggestions in.  I'd rather work with
recent stuff.  10 year old books are a bit too old.

Vol/Iss:     46(5)
Date:        May 1995

Author:      Mary Johnson, MALS, AHIP
Title:       The library as a resource for decision making in

Put Prevention into Practice (PPIP) is a national preventive services
campaign to increase the awareness and use of clinical preventive
services by providers, patients, and office staff. PPIP is sponsored by

Subject: Yet another medical web site

Here at Salford Royal Hospitals we offer provide a web service for
university staff, and have set up a home page intended to provide
clinicans with sources related to their specialty. It is still in
its early stages, and comments would be welcome. There is an emphasis
on UK resources where available; most of the sources mentioned in Tom
Roper's IWR article are there.

The address is http://www.hop.ac.uk/misc/medres.html

You can also access the general library page at
http://www.hop.ac.uk/lib/lib.html

The pages have been set up by myself and Malcolm Pitcher, our
computer specialist

Message-ID: <9506222018.AA12565@hpb.hwc.ca>

As a follow up to my earlier post, I want to clarify the nature of the
Canadian Medical Association's CLINICAL Q&A mailing list.

1. Subscribers from all over the world are welcome. In fact they are
encouraged -- a broad base of experience will only improve the usefulness of
the list.

2. We are restricting the membership to licensed physicians because we want
to assure participants that all members of the list are indeed doctors. This
will allow greater confidence in the information being exchanged. The
easiest way to enforce this restriction in a time when anyone with access to
a colour printer can "become" a doctor on paper, complete with "hospital"
letterhead, was to ask for an official identification like a licensure
number that can be cross-checked. If we can figure out a secure way to
include nonlicensed physicians they will be more than welcome to join the
list. Any ideas?

>The Canadian Medical Association has set up a mailing list for physicians
>to discuss diagnosis and treatment. CLINICAL Q&A will provide an informal
>mechanism of consultation in difficult or unusual cases. Only licensed
>physicians will be able to subscribe.

>Information about the list, including how to go about subscribing, can be

NEWS RELEASE                                       For More Information
21 June 1995                                       Peter R. Young, NCLIS


                         NCLIS ISSUES REPORT ON
            INTERNET COSTS AND COST MODELS FOR PUBLIC LIBRARIES


   Washington, D.C.:  _Internet Costs and Cost Models for Public
Libraries_ has been issued by the U.S. National Commission on Libraries
and Information Science (NCLIS).  The study reports the findings from
an analysis of public library costs involved in the use of the Internet,
the global interconnected network of computer networks.

   The study was performed for NCLIS, with support from the National
Science Foundation, by Dr. Charles R. McClure, distinguished professor
at the School of Information Studies, Syracuse University, along with
John Carlo Bertot, assistant professor at the Department of Information
Systems, University of Maryland Baltimore County, and John C. Beachboard,
a doctoral student and research associate at the School of Information
Studies, Syracuse University.

   _Internet Costs and Cost Models for Public Libraries_ addresses the
public library community's need for practical cost information related
to Internet connectivity and services.  The study includes cost elements,
models, and worksheets intended to serve as useful guides for
communities and public libraries planning Internet connections and
services.

   The study shows that for an initial one-time cost of $1,475 and a
recurring cost of $12,635, a public library can establish a minimal
level of single-workstation, text-based Internet connectivity.  At a
more complex level, the report describes a representative multimedia
Internet public library connectivity model involving multiple-
workstations at multiple library locations for a one-time cost of
$266,375 and a recurring annual cost of $154,222.

   The models and cost estimates may vary considerably depending
on the actual situation at and existing infrastructure in a given
public library -- as well as factors related to local
resources available to the public library.  The wide variation in
total representative costs associated with public library Internet
connectivity is an indication of the need for this type of study.

   The Government Printing Office plans to make copies of the report
available to the Federal Depository Library Program.  Copies of the
report are also available from the NCLIS office by request at:

Moderately glad you asked -- It took about 1/2 hour of surfing but I
found other really good free stuff:
Beginner's Guide to HTML:
http://www.ncsa.uiuc.edu/General/Internet/WWW/HTMLPrimer.html
  This is one of several good tools including:
Bad Style Page - a collection od DONTs for HTML, Automatic Home
Page Generator, Bare Bones Guide to HTML, HTML Quick Reference,
Create A page, and other equally good free stuff in:
http://www.yahoo.com/Computers/World_Wide_Web/HTML/

Here are a couple of other points for folks thinking about getting into
this:
1.  Do it.  It is easy and it is a part of our future.
2.  HTML is the easy part, you need write privileges on a server.  It can
be your PC with an IP address (I don't know anything about this) or it
can be some network server.  Ideally, in the future, every researcher will
mount his/her research reports on a server and these will be available
free -- our job will be to see that these are indexed and accessible.
3.  You can do a nice home page for yourself or your institution that will
help a lot of people.  But if you really want to help thousands of people,
you write a page that anyone can link to.  For example, a retired
volunteer here has written a page on aging:
http://www.portals.pdx.edu/~isidore/aging.html
Your hospital can point to this page from its home page.  If we each did
one of these, it would go a long way toward the virtual medical library.  I
propose a standard templated in:
http://www.portals.pdx.edu/~zendog/temp.html
To use this -- select save as html with your web browser, edit the
document replacing the logo with your hospital logo, delete all the
dummy URL's and replace them with really good references, and store
the document where everyone else can get to it.

I don't know what the critical mass is, but if 20 people on this list
created content pages -- who knows, something might happen.

Subject: Silicon Snake Oil

Hi, I am forwarding a message a colleague forwarded to me concerning
Cliff Stoll's book,  _Silicon Snake Oil: Second
Thoughts on the Information Highway_.

Laurie A. Potter, Univ. of NV School of Medicine Library, Reno, NV. (702)
784-4625, lap@scs.unr.edu

Hello, Cyberpals,

    I'm browsing (surfing?) a thought-provoking book, Cliff Stoll's
*Silicon Snake Oil: Second Thoughts on the Information Highway*. Here's
just one of the interesting remarks I've discovered so far: "For all the
promises of virtual communities, it's more important to live a real life in
a real neighborhood."

    Stoll suspects that "computers will deviously chew away at libraries
from the inside. They'll eat up book budgets and require librarians that
are more comfortable with computers than with children and scholars.
Libraries will become adept at supplying the public with fast, low-quality
information. The result won't be a library without books--it'll be a
library without value." He believes that's "how our public libraries will
end."

[There has been some discussion of this book on NETTRAIN too. TAK]

Subject: Biomedicine and Health in the News

Another source to check when you're looking for current medical and health
information in the news is Biomedicine and Health in the News.  BHN is
maintained by the Lyman Maynard Stowe Library, University of Connecticut
Health Center and offers quick access to the biomedical and health journal
literature referenced in the New York Times.   After hearing about the
University of Minnesota's news feature at MLA last year, we decided to do
the same thing with the New York Times.  The response has been very positive
so far.

You can access BHN via the WWW at
http://cortex.uchc.edu/~libweb/libpg1.html or gopher to gopher.uchc.edu
(select "Lyman Maynard Stowe Library").

Also, while you're at our library's homepage, you may want to check out
 Healthnet News, a newsletter for those interested in consumer health
information.  Healthnet is a statewide outreach program of the UCHC Library
that helps public libraries in Connecticut provide consumer health
information services.  The newsletter features reviews of current consumer
health books, information on consumer health organizations, lists of free
and inexpensive publications, and references to current literature on
consumer health topics.

I would be interested in feedback (positive and negative).

Subject: Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians

Hello:

    I have a working draft of a Web Document called "Writing for the Web:
A Primer for Librarians" available on my Web server. Please remember
it is still a work in progress, so any feedback will be very useful. The
URL is:

       http://bones.med.ohio-state.edu/eric/papers/primer/webdocs.htm

Here is the abstract:

ABSTRACT:  The most time consuming aspect of setting up
a library Web service is creating and maintaining the documents which
make up the site. While each library will need adapt  their own policies
regarding the selection and organization of resources, participants in
a library Web project  need to know how to construct basic Web
documents.  This paper discusses basic concepts and terminology which
are associated with writing documents for the Web. It is not an in-depth HTML
guide, but a general introduction to the topic. There are numerous hypertext
references to existing documents which do describe HTML in detail.

NOTE: Many of the links within this document will navigate to resources outside
this site. Before you select an outside resource, consider if you wish to
take the detour then or later.

Subject: 1995 MLA/7ICML Web Update

The 1995 MLA Annual Meeting and the 7th International
Congress on Medical Librarianship are now fond--and
distant--memories for many of us.  That#s why it#s such a
good time to revisit the #95 MLA/7ICML web site--to relive the
magic of these meetings.  As an added bonus, Brian Warling
and his WWW team have posted some new information.

The meeting web site is accessible from MLANET--

http://www.kumc.edu/MLA/

New to the meeting web site are the final issues of the
Global Gazette.  There#s also a final word from meeting chair
Linda Watson.  Upcoming is the last batch of photos from
the MLA meeting and the International Congress.

Still in place are all the other meeting related
goodies--program information, metropolitan information, hotel
maps.  What better way to wax nostalgic about a wonderful
meeting than to traipse through the meeting web site.

Also, be on the lookout for updates on web site development
for the 1996 MLA Annual Meeting in Kansas City.

phone calls and quicker than surface mail.  It is also full of people who
call themselves subject experts but have no qualifications, experience or

Subject: d-lib magazine


[N.B.: The Corporation for National Research Initiatives (CNRI) is
planning a release of the following Internet Journal, probably before
the end of July.  The Moderators]

D-Lib Magazine: The Magazine of the Digital Library Forum

The Digital Library Forum announces D-Lib Magazine, an on-line magazine,
which offers a broad range of technical and professional users
opportunities to browse, access, and comment on current work in digital
library research, advanced development, and implementation.  The
magazine has been created by the Corporation for National Research
Initiatives (CNRI) on behalf of the Information Infrastructure
Technology and Applications (IITA) task group of the High Performance
Computing and Communications (HPCC) program.

The purpose of D-Lib Magazine is to nurture and facilitate communication
among the many agencies, organizations, institutions, and individuals
participating or interested in digital library research and its eventual
application.  The magazine disseminates descriptions of current research
and implementation projects and provides for interaction with the
community through announcements and communications to the Editor.  One
section of the magazine is devoted to pointers, which are used
throughout research stories and briefings as another means of furthering
interaction among users and disseminating important information.

The magazine is itself an experiment in electronic publishing.  We have
no -- and propose no -- print analogue, and the editors will be most
intrigued by substantive articles that take advantage of the power of
hypermedia while retaining the strengths of traditional, print
publishing.  In addition, D-Lib Magazine will be used as a testbed for
new methods of electronic publishing and techniques of digital
librarianship.  So that these experiments will not prove a barrier to
users with slow network connections or less-than-the latest
technologies, the magazine will be issued in standard and advanced
versions.

The address of the publication is:  dlib@cnri.reston.va.us

Cork Internet Working Group announces The Irish Medical Home Page, a World
Wide Web site aimed at Health Care Staff coming on to the Internet. The site
contains information for Health Staff in Hospitals and the Community.

The Home Page which can be found at the (URL) http://www.eirenet.net/IMHP/
contains links to resources for solving patient care and public health
problems.

Cork Internet Group is a non-profit making multi-disciplinary group of
doctors, computer specialists and UCC librarians. They came together early
in 1995 and ran the first Irish workshops on medical uses of the Internet.

Subject: 7. Internationaler Kongress / Resuemee 1
Status: O

Liebe Medibibler,

eine der faszinierendsten Erfahrungen eines internationalen Kongress ist
das Internationale. Aus sage und schreibe 80 Laendern kamen die Teilnehmer
des 7. Int. Kongress fuer Medizinisches Bibliothekswesen nach Washington, DC.
So ist es nicht verwunderlich, mit Bibliothekaren aus den Bahamas, der
Schweiz und Belgien an einem Tisch zu sitzen oder die Nationaltrachten
exotischer Staaten bewundern zu koennen (eine Augenweide angesichts der
Anzug+Schlips - Uniformitaet).

Sortiert man die Teilnehmerliste nach Laendern, kann man einige
interessante Feststellungen ueber die "bibliothekarische Auslandsstaerke
(bA)" der jeweiligen Laender treffen. Der bA-Wert setzt sich logischerweise
aus Teilnehmerzahl, Entfernung zwischen Heimatland und Konferenzort in
Stunden sowie der Einwohnerzahl des Heimatlandes in folgender Weise
zusammen:

           Teilnehmerzahl * Anreisezeit[h]
bA-Wert = --------------------------------
                    Einwohnerzahl

                                             4 * 10 std.
Der bA-Wert Deutschlands betraegt also ca.  ------------ = 1,8 msek ,
                                             80.000.000

waehrend der bA-Wert fuer Schweden 10 * 10 std. / 9 Mio. = 40 msek , also
etwa das 22fache betraegt.

Die Einheit der bibliothekarischen Auslandsstaerke ist erstaunlicherweise
die Zeit [Stunde oder Millisekunde]; Loesungen fuer dieses Raetsel bitte
an den Autor.

Da ich momentan leider nicht genug von diesen Einheiten besitze, ueberlasse
ich die genaue Ausarbeitung dieses Themas (nicht den Koelner Karnevalisten,
sondern) dynamischeren Kollegen. Einwohnerzahlen finden sich in jedem
Brockhaus, Anreisezeiten lassen sich anhand von Flugplaenen und
Entfernungstabellen leicht berechnen. Was hindert mich noch daran, Ihnen
allen zuzurufen: Auf, ans Werk ?!

Gruesse,

O.Obst

NewJour Announcement List

NewJour is an electronic announcement list that updates the ARL
Directory of Electronic Journals and Newsletters between its annual,
formal printed and networked editions.  As of June 1995, it has 2,000
subscribers from all seven continents and posts on average ten new
networked serials per day.  "New" titles are either brand new creations
or titles that are newly discovered for the ARL database of e-serials.

NewJour welcomes your interest and announcements and hopes to offer
enhanced services before the end of 1995.

To subscribe to NewJour, send a message to:

        majordomo@ccat.sas.upenn.edu

Leave the subject line blank and in the body of the message type:

        subscribe NewJour

Direct postings of new serials should be directed to:

        NewJour@ccat.sas.upenn.edu

NewJour was created in Summer 1993 and and provides a place for creators
of new electronic journals to report their plans and announcements to
potential subscribers.  It is also updated by postings from the ARL
staff as they routinely discover new Internet serial titles (journals,
newsletters, magazines, zines, and other formats).

This electronic conference began on server space provided by the
American Mathematical Society.  In January of 1995 it relocated to a
site offered at the University of Pennsylvania's Center for Computer
Analysis of Texts, a group that offered service and support for
our growing enterprise.

The complete set of backfiles of NewJour postings is updated daily
It is a fully searchable archive and can be found at:

ANNOUNCEMENT:  NLM Seeks Beta Testers for Internet Grateful Med

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) created the Medical Literature
Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) to provide rapid online access
to the NLM databases.  MEDLINE, the most widely used of the more than
40 MEDLARS databases, contains 7 million references dating back to
1966.  NLM has been providing online access to the information in
these files for many years.  Advances in software, hardware and
communications now make it possible for NLM to provide new
functionality to serve our more than 100,000 users.

Internet Grateful Med (IGM) is a new NLM system for providing access
to MEDLARS via the Internet and the World-Wide Web.  The Internet
Grateful Med prototype for assisted searching in MEDLINE has been
alpha-tested inside NLM and is nearly ready for beta testing.  The
system applies multiple resources including the Unified Medical
Language System (UMLS) Metathesaurus to help a user create, submit,
and refine a search in MEDLINE.  The Internet Grateful Med system
works well with Netscape Navigator, the most prevalent of the many
World-Wide Web browsers available.  There are versions of Netscape
Navigator for users having PCs running Microsoft Windows, Macintosh
computers running System 7 or higher, and Unix workstations running
the X Window System.  We have also successfully used the X version of
NCSA Mosaic for Unix workstations, and the Macintosh browser called
MacWeb from EINet.  The Windows and Macintosh versions of NCSA Mosaic
do not yet work perfectly with Internet Grateful Med.

A candidate for beta testing Internet Grateful Med must

1. Be a current user of Netscape Navigator Version 1.0 or higher, or
   of the X version of NCSA Mosaic for a Unix workstation, or of MacWeb

2. Have an Internet connection (either direct via an institutional
   local area network connected to the Internet, OR via modem dial-up
   to a SLIP or PPP account at an Internet access provider -- 9,600 baud
   minimum; 14,400 baud or faster for better performance)

3. Search MEDLINE at least once a week on average.

Users of varying backgrounds and searching fluency are actively
sought.  The testing will begin in July, with groups of testers
brought on line in phases during the Summer as we confirm our ability
to serve them properly.  We anticipate a beta-test period of several
months leading to a production release of Internet Grateful Med by
the end of 1995.  User comments and feedback are extremely important
to us as we work toward the production release.

If you would like to participate in this testing process or have
questions about this announcement, please send an email message to
"access@nlm.nih.gov".  Include your name, physical mailing address,
telephone and fax numbers, and email address.  Though we cannot
guarantee that all who express interest will be selected as testers,
we look forward to working with several hundred persons as we improve
the capabilities of the Internet Grateful Med prototype.

The fifth edition of the Index Medicus Price Study is out (we had it in the
booth at MLA).  It's available at no charge by contacting me on the net
(LYNNF@EBSCO.COM) or by phone (205/991-1481) or even by mail.

I'm especially happy to honor requests for additional copies to go to
medical center administrators, library committees, etc.  That's who
really needs to know this stuff...the librarians among us already do!

Subject: CHAT: holiday weekend silliness

I've been scouting "fun" Web sites for training purposes (it's my
story and I'm sticking to it) and I came across this NEAT
folksong archive (yes, it's off-topic, but just wait) at
   http://web2.xerox.com/docs/DigiTrad/
It's called the Digital Tradition and has words and music for
probably over a thousand folksongs including this SLIGHTLY
risque one entitled...

   THE BOLD LIBRARIAN
   (Joy Rutherford)

So here for your delectation is the text of this song -
I don't have a sound card so I have no idea what the melody
is supposed to be, but I hope you will all take a crack at it
sitting at your terminals as you get ready for the weekend.

THE BOLD LIBRARIAN / Joy Rutherford

Oh, some, they like the sailor man
When he comes back to shore,
And some they like the beggar man
That begs from door to door,
And some, they like the soldier man
With his musket and his can,
But my delight can read and write,
He's the bold librarian.

Now, this librarian, he rode out all in the dewy morn,
And he met with the farmer's daughter and loudly he blew his horn.
"Come in my bold librarian, and I'll mek thee a pot of tea.
Me father, and mother have gone to town and there's nobody here but me."

"I have a book for your mother, dear, called, `Love that dare not speak,'
And another for your old father called, `Gunfighters of Mustang Creek,'
But nothing I have for you, my dear," this librarian did say,
"But anything you shall request you shall have it right away."

"OO'," said the farmer's daughter and she glowed all over with fire.
"Is it true you can bring your readers anything they desire?"
"Oh, yes," said the bold librarian, "Oh, yes, indeed I will.
Take me up to your chamber and I'll show you my ... professional skill."

So they went upstairs together and they laid down on the bed,
And he faceted her in every detail from `A' unto `Zed',
'Til he couldn't classify her under maidens anymore.
He said, "Such dynamic service you've never had before."

Now this librarian he arose and he put on all his clothes,
And out of his pocket he drew handfuls of gold,
Saying, "Take this, my dearest Polly, for thee and thy baby.
It really belongs to the Book Fund, but I'll give it all to thee."

Oh come, my bold librarian and won't you marry me?
Oh no, my dearest Polly, such things can never be,
For married I am already to a quiet little thing.
I've a first and second edition and a third coming out in spring.

"But dost tha truly love me?" the farmer's daughter said.
"What d'you mean," said the librarian, "Just because we've been to bed?
In my most high profession love and sex cannot combine,
[spoken]
Because SEX is 612.6 and LOVE, which I classify under virtues not
otherwise accounted for, is 179.9

Come all you pretty fair maids, this warning you must heed;
You must marry some simple ploughboy who can neither write nor read.
For he may be poor and humble, but he'll love you the best he can.
And have naught to do with that roving blade who drives the library van.

    (DT of April 1995)

Beside you should not write to a maillist without being a member, and
beside you have not signed your mail, your question does not fit in the purpose
of this list. We are medical librarians not doctors!
You could easily find an answer at the Cancernet of the NIH. Just mail to:

cancernet@icicc.nci.nih.gov

Write in the body of your message:

help

They have a lot of information about lymphoma.

I will send you detailed information with seperate post.

Liebe Medibibler,
anbei wieder die Informationen aus zwei Wochen Medlib-l. Wenn Sie mal sehen
wollen, wie sich eine Medizinbibliothek auf dem Netz praesentieren kann
(nicht http://medweb.uni-muenster.de/zbm/index.html :-) ), dann waehlen sie
doch mal http://www.lib.uwaterloo.ca/ an, dann resources by discipline,
dann health sciences - sehr ueberzeugend gemacht (soll auch einen 'award'
gewonnen haben).

Bis die Tage,

THE MEDICAL MATRIX PROJECT

YAHOO, Inc. and the Internet Working Group of the American Medical
Informatics Association Collaborate on an Internet Clinical Medicine
Search Engine!

A project has been advanced to provide a peer reviewed searchable
interface to Internet World Wide Web clinical medicine documents. The
project is a collaboration of the Internet Working Group of the
American Medical Informatics Association (AMIA) and Yahoo
Communications of Menlo Park, Ca. Yahoo will contribute its advanced
search engine that presents Internet hypertext linked documents in
response to keyword inquiries. The medical information specialists and
clinical medicine resource providers of the Internet Working Group will
contribute template annotations to the rapidly evolving Internet
clinical medicine multimedia database. Each web document will be
indexed by "MESH" terms from the NLM's thesaurus. These Medical Subject
Headings will supplement titles, annotations, and abstracts in
describing Web documents.  An Internet Working Group editorial board
will convene semiannually to consider content, quality, and technical
issues.

Participation, contributions and comments regarding this project are
encouraged.

1/9 |                    Skeletal Dysplasia mailing list

Dear Colleagues,

The first generation of the Skeletal Dysplasia mailing list has been
established. We welcome postings on the molecular basis of skeletal
dysplasias, clinical studies, call for patients and collaborations,
unknowns, etc. Remember that, for now, this is a general mailing list and
any message you post will be
transmitted to every member of the list. Private mail should be submitted
to the individual.

As the number of postings increases we will modify the system much like
has been done for the HUM-MOLGEN mailing list. Eventually we plan to
establish a World Wide Web internet site that will allow the posting of
scanned radiographs and photographs.

Anyone with Internet EMAIL access, anywhere in the world, can subscribe to
this mailing list. This includes people with accounts on America On-Line,
CompuServe, etc. since all of those commercial on-line services now offer
some sort of access to Internet EMail.

To subscribe to the Skeletal Dysplasia mailing list, send EMAIL to
MAILSERV@CSMC.EDU with:

- nothing in the subject line
- the body of the message should contain one line in the form:
SUBSCRIBE SKELDYS YOUR_EMAIL_ADDRESS
for example
SUBSCRIBE SKELDYS WWILCOX@MAILGATE.CSMC.EDU

Please direct any problems, questions, suggestions, etc. directly to me:

The 29 June issue of the British journal NATURE comes with a CD-ROM
that covers the fulltext including figures/illustrations of the journal
1992-94--the whole database but a demo that expires 12 days after
installation.  It's a Windows program and has some very nice features.
We've experienced some kind of bug that won't let the program load
after another CD-ROM program has been accessed  (reboot and it's OK)
--no tech support available for the demo.

I'd be interested in what you think about it.

Subject: Telemedicine bibliography

Below is an announcement from the National Library of Medicine
about a new bibliography on telemedicine.

ANNOUNCEMENT

                                        Robert Mehnert
July 14, 1995                           Office of Public Information
                                        National Library of Medicine

Telemedicine: Past, Present, Future

        The use of telecommunications for medical diagnosis and patient
care--telemedicine--is the subject of a recent bibliography produced by the
National Library of Medicine. The most recent item in NLM's series of Current
Bibliographies in Medicine, the new work includes more than 1600 references
dating from 1966 to 1995.

        Telemedicine involves the use of telecommunications technology as a
medium to provide medical services to sites that are at a distance from the
provider. The concept encompasses a wide range of technological applications,
from standard telephone service through high-speed, wide-bandwidth transmission
of digitized signals using computers, fiber optics, satellites, and other
sophisticated peripheral equipment and software.

        There are three basic areas of telemedicine:

aids to decision-making (e.g., remote expert systems for patient diagnosis, or
use of online databases in the practice of medicine);

remote sensing (transmission of patient information, such as
electrocardiographic signals, x-rays, or patient records from one site to a
collaborator in a distant site, or teleconferencing for continuing education);
and

collaborative arrangements for the real-time management of patients at a
distance.

        Chapter headings within the bibliography include Telemedicine
Applications, Telemedicine in Education, Information Collection & Databases in
Relationship to Patient Care, Telecommunication Systems & Networks, Equipment &
Technology, Legal & Privacy Issues, Financial & Business Issues, Grant Programs,
and Future Trends.

        The bibliography's compilers are Kristine M. Scannell, M.S.L.S., of
NLM's Reference Section; Douglas A. Perednia, M.D., Oregon Health Sciences
University; and Henry M. Kissman, Ph.D., former  director of NLM's Division of
Specialized Information Services.

        The Library makes the bibliography available over the Internet by two
access vehicles: anonymous ftp at nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov using the following path
to the file: public/nlminfo/bibs/cbm/telembib.txt; and as the file
"Telemedicine: Past, Present, and Future" on the NLM gopher server
(gopher.nlm.nih.gov), under Resource Lists and Bibliographies, Current
Bibliographies in Medicine. The bibliography is also available in printed form
from the U.S. Government Printing Office. Cost: $4.75 ($5.94 foreign); please
include the title and stock number (S/N 817-011-00004-7). Mail orders to: New
Orders, Superintendent of Documents, P.O. Box 371954, Pittsburgh, PA 15250-7954
(GPO phone orders: 202/783-3238).

Liebe Medibibler,

verzeihen sie mir bitte die Verschwendung von Bandbreite und
Aufmerksamkeit!  Ich habe was zum Schmunzeln fuer sie: Michael Hart, der
Gruender des Projekts Gutenberg, veroeffentlicht seit neuestem in der Liste
PACS-L eine Kolumne "Dr. Internet" mit Fragen und Antworten zum Internet.
Die allererste Kolumne stiess direkt auf heftige Kritik wegen unkorrekter
Behauptungen des Dr. Internet M. Hart (der sich gerne damit schmueckt,
einer der ersten 100 Internetnutzer gewesen zu sein). Wie dem auch sei, der
Herausgeber der renommierten WWW-Bibliotheksliste, Thomas Dowling, hat eine
koestliche Glosse daraus gemacht. Lesenswert!

It's time once again to Ask [Alternate] Dr. Internet!

A number of people have asked for permission to quote or copy Alternate
Dr. Internet columns.  Well, you know best, I suppose.  Credited,
unaltered, non-profit redistribution of the columns I post to lists is
fine with me, but if that big book deal comes through, all bets are off.

==================================================

1.  What do file and domain name extensions mean?

    Dr. Internet Headquarters recently received a question asking if
    addresses ending ".com" were from communist organizations.  In
    fact, that is an overgeneralization, but I can understand the
    confusion.  Here is the Dr. Internet guide to file and domain name
    extensions.

    The Internet provides an easily remembered two-character code for
    every country, like .ch for Switzerland, .es for Spain, and .de for
    Germany.  Some other top-level domains are:


    .au     Sound files from Australia.

    .com    Competent Internet users.  Due to the generous nature of
            the Internet, users are initially assumed to be competent,
            so many .com addresses have been registered recently.  A
            large number of users have already been nominated for the
            forthcoming .inc domain.

    .fi     Finland.  (Korn Shell only; in the C Shell this must be
            written as .endif)

    .ru     Russia
    .su     Soviet Union.  Notice that they're keeping their options
            open.

    .us     Us.  The fight for ownership and control of the Internet
            is heating up, and if you're not one of .us, you're one
            of .them.


2.  What is the best Web browser?

    It's a given in the software industry that the best program is the
    one with the highest version number.  Allowing for beta versions,
    Netscape is currently at version 1.2, which means that Windows
    Mosaic version 2.0 is 67% better.  Better still is Lynx 2.3, at 91%
    better, and X Mosaic 2.6, at 117% better.  As of this writing,
    however, the best browser is clearly the CERN Line-Mode browser,
    version 3.0, which is a stunning 150% better than Netscape.

    This is likely to change in the near future.  Windows 95 (itself
    almost a 3000% improvement over Windows 3.1) is likely to include a
    web browser.  Having learned that smart buyers don't purchase
    version 1.0 of any Microsoft product, Microsoft now uses a random
    number generator for software versions.  Browser95 could
    effectively end the race for the best browser.


3.  What are dropped packets?  Where do they go?

    Mail systems have had trouble dropping packets for years.  In the
    past, these packets were dropped on the floor of the post office,
    where they broke, contributing glass shards and the slowly
    fermenting aroma of your Aunt Betty's homemade rhubarb jam to the
    list of grudges nursed by underpaid civil servants.

    These days, dropped packets just keep echoing around the network
    until they collide with other dropped packets.  At some point, they
    get attached to a stray newsgroup header, and become a gibberish
    posting.  For reasons still unclear to us, most newsreaders will
    display this gibberish with the subject line MAKE MONEY FAST.


4.  Please explain about bandwidth.  Are signature files going to
destroy the Internet?

    Bandwidth is usually defined as the ratio between the amount of
    information transmitted over a network, and the maximum amount of
    information the network can carry.

    Since most quibbling over the number of bytes used in signature
    files contains no real information, it doesn't affect the bandwidth
    ratio.  In fact, information theorists have used such messages to
    sketch out a concept of anti-information, along the lines of
    antimatter.  Early theoretical models indicate that flooding the
    net with huge quantities of anti-information would dramatically
    increase their bandwidth by reducing the amount of information
    actually transmitted.


5.  What is an E-text?

    People in the literature field are understandably tentative in
    discussing the relative merits of literary works.  After all, those
    works all got published, which is more than you can say for the
    half-finished Great American Novels taking up space on the bottom
    shelf of so many office bookcases.  (Actually, thanks to
    information technology, a growing number of abandoned manuscripts
    now reside on handfuls of floppy disks, rubber-banded together in
    the bottoms of filing cabinets.)

    However, there is usually broad consensus on which of an author's
    works are the best, or at least which ones can fuel the greatest
    number of dissertations.  For example, Thomas Hardy's Return of the
    Native is considered one of his best works, and is labeled an
    A-text.  Far From the Madding Crowd, on the other hand, lacks a
    little something and is a B-text.  Some of his early poems are
    definitely E-texts.

    Collecting and archiving E-texts tends to make people feel better
    about those forgotten manuscripts.  Over that second bottle of
    Chardonnay, a little Edgar Rice Burroughs will make you feel that
    anyone can get published.  [Over the third bottle, an interpretive
    reading of the first thousand digits of pi can be a real
    giggle-fest.]

Subject: New Standards

The Canadian Health Libraries Association / L'Association des bibliotheques
de la sante du Canada has released new standards for libraries in
health care facilities.  Details may be found on the order form following
my signature.

Please excuse multiple postings - this message is being
sent to three medical library lists.  Also, please excuse the posting of
what is essentially an advertisement.  We believe the Standards are a valuable
addition to the tools available for managing hospital and other
healthcare facility libraries, and post this message in hopes that
they will find wider application.  If we recover our costs (we are
not counting on it), so much the better.

Note that a French translation is in process.

If you have any queries or comments, I would be pleased to
try to deal with them in due course.  However, I am afraid I am
dodging out - three weeks starting tomorrow on an island without
electricity - only sandy beaches.

Subject: NII Report Available

The National Library of Medicine announces the electronic availability of
"Making a Powerful Connection: The Health of the Public and the National
Information Infrastructure," dated July 6, 1995.

The report outlines issues brought up and discussed at an invitational
conference held on April 19, 1995 at NLM, on how the public health community
can participate more vigorously in the NII initiative and incorporates the
strategic plan that was developed on April 20.  It is being disseminated widely,
both to audiences seeking to learn more about the potential of the NII to
improve the health of the public and to those who can help make these potential
applications a reality.

Roz D. Lasker, M.D., Deputy Assistant Secretary for Health (Policy Development),
Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health, DHHS, Betsy L. Humphreys, M.L.S.,
Assistant Director for Health Services Research Information, NLM, and William R.
Braithwaite, M.D., Senior Advisor for Information Policy, Office of the
Assistant Secretary for Health prepared the report.  The three are members of
the Public Health Data Policy Coordinating Committee, U.S. Public Health
Service.

The report is available on the Library's Ftp (nlmpubs.nlm.nih.gov) and Gopher
(gopher.nlm.nih.gov) Servers in WordPerfect and ASCII formats.  Additionally,
you can link to it via the WWW using NLM's HyperDOC (http://www.nlm.nih.gov/)

     Date: July 14, 1995
     From: Shelley Kardon, BIOSIS

     I hope the following information about Biological Abstracts on CD
     answers your questions:

     1. What are the pros/cons of having Biological Abstracts on CD (BA on
     CD)?

     Pros:

     1.  Comprehensive coverage of worldwide biological and biomedical
     literature - Enables researchers and students to easily retrieve
     references reported in life science journals focusing on vital
     biological and medical research findings, clinical studies, and
     discoveries of new organisms.

     2. Easy to Use to Search Software - Both SilverPlatter and OVID search
     software are state-of-the-art and powerful.  Students and other novice
     users need no training to conduct an accurate search.

     3. Abstracts - Over 95% of the records included in BA on CD from 1985
     to the present contain informative abstracts, so that the searcher can
     determine if the reference retrieved is relevant to their area of
     interest, before obtaining the original source document.  The
     remaining 5% of the records that do not contain abstracts are letters
     and short communications which do not have abstracts available in the
     original source.

     4. Back Years - Back years are available which help searchers gain
     valuable retrospective information.

     5. Quarterly Updates - Discs are issued quarterly, with cumulative
     updates issued every 6 months.

     6. Networking - Networking enables institutions to share this
     information across workstations, departments and affiliated sites.
     BIOSIS' networking policy applies to both SilverPlatter and Ovid
     software and enables customers to choose the exact number of
     simultaneous users.

     7. Hard Disc - Loading data onto a hard disk increases response time
     and allows users to search the yearly editions as a single file.  The
     hard disk option can be used with a variety of platforms and network
     systems.

     8. 30 Day Free Trials - Free trials of any of BIOSIS' CD-ROM products
     are available so that you, students and researchers can use and
     evaluate the database in your own facility to answer the research
     questions you typically have. Simply contact BIOSIS to try out any
     CD-ROM product so that you may make a educated purchase decision.


     Cons:

     1. By subscribing to BA on CD alone, researchers and students would be
     missing valuable non-journal literature such as meeting literature,
     U.S. patent information, books and book chapters and review
     literature.  This information can be obtained by subscribing to BA/RRM
     on CD (Biological Abstracts/RRM (Reports, Reviews, Meetings) which
     complements the coverage of journal literature found in BA on CD.

     2. Do you buy it from BIOSIS or another vendor?

     BA on CD (with either SilverPlatter or OVID software) can be purchased
     from BIOSIS; if a customer wants to lease a product, the customer
     should contact SilverPlatter.  The main difference between buying and
     leasing is as follows:

     If you purchase from BIOSIS: you buy the compact disc - you keep it
     whether or not you renew your subscription in subsequent years.

     If you lease from SilverPlatter: you lease the compact disc and keep
     it as long as you renew your subscription.  If you cancel your
     subscription, you must return all leased discs to SilverPlatter.


     3. Is it cheaper to cancel print or get the CD as an add-on to the
     print subscription?

     If you are a current subscriber to Biological Abstracts in print (or
     microfilm), the price for BACD is constructed so that a subscriber to
     a product is charged only once for the database content (e.g.
     citation, abstract, indexing term).  Therefore a subscriber to the
     current-year of a product in print who also purchases the compact disc
     is not charged for the content again; the subscriber is charged only
     for production and the ability to search the database using compact
     disc software.  This pricing scheme allows institutions to purchase a
     second subscription at the lowest price, making it an affordable
     option at the departmental level.

     For customers who do not purchase the current year in print or
     microfilm, the compact disc price includes both the charge for the
     content of the database and the charge forthe right to use the search
     software.  Also, when a customer purchases the current-year on compact
     disc, the customer becomes a current subscriber to that product and
     may purchase backfiles or a second subscription of the current year at
     the lower current-subscriber rates.

Subject: HealthWeb announcement

           ******************************************

                     Announcing HealthWeb


The health sciences librarians and information professionals from
the Big Ten universities and the University of Chicago (the CIC -
the Committee on Institutional Cooperation) are building HealthWeb,
a tool to facilitate access to health-related electronic information
resources found on the Internet. HealthWeb is a collaborative effort
to present a collection of selected and evaluated resources rather
than an exhaustive index of health-related information.  It will provide
an integrated interface to the selected resources.

The development of HealthWeb is the responsibility of five subgroups,
each with its own charge: Communication, Content, Design, Planning and
Technical.  In addition, each CIC health sciences library will
concentrate on disciplines in which it and its institution excels.
Within each area of excellence, the library will perform four functions:

    1.  Identify relevant resources available via the Internet.
    2.  Evaluate the resources using the input of subject experts.
    3.  Annotate, organize and provide access to the approved resources
        via the HealthWeb.
    4.  Make new resources available on the Internet by establishing
        contacts with key providers, identifying potential resources
        and working cooperatively with the resource providers to mount
        and maintain the material.

The staff of the Alfred Taubman Medical Library at The University of
Michigan has developed the first prototype for HealthWeb in the field
of nursing with assistance from the School of Nursing and the CIC
Health Sciences Libraries Internet Working Group. The URL is:

        http://www.lib.umich.edu/tml/nursing.html

In addition to the Internet-based resources, the page also includes
information on doctoral programs around the world in the Education
section. This unique, hard-to-find information represents the first
step in enriching the page with material from the nursing community.

Two other prototype pages are under development - radiology from
Indiana University and minority health from Michigan State University.
Eventually HealthWeb will serve as a valuable entry point to the
Internet for the health sciences community.

HealthWeb is available at this URL: http://www.ghsl.nwu.edu/healthweb/

If you have further questions or comments about HealthWeb, you may
email the communications representative at healthweb@umich.edu.

Kuerze der Zeit (5 std.) und der Abhaengigkeit von der Netzstabilitaet kann
also nur versucht werden, Ihnen *erste* Eindruecke in einige der
wichtigeren Internetdienste und -ressourcen zu vermitteln. Das angegebene
Programm kann sich deswegen auch kurzfristig aendern.

Subject: Aktualitaet von MEDLINE auf Silverplatter/CD-ROM
Status: O

Liebe Medibibler,
ich moechte Ihre Aufmerksamkeit auf folgenden Artikel lenken:

Vincent Maes: "Information currency in Medline on CD-ROM" in:
Online & CD-ROM, Vol.19(2):59-69, April 1995

Einige Ergebnisse:
Der mittlere Zeitverlust betraegt stolze 7 Monate, wobei wichtigere Zsn.
eher erscheinen als unwichtigere. Im Vergleich zur Medlars-Datenbank der
NLM hinkt die Silerplatter-CD-ROM um 1.78 Monate hinterher.

Gruesse,

O.Obst

A searchable catalog of Internet resources--InterCat--will be available
at URL http://www.oclc.org:6990 from now through March 31, 1996.  The
InterCat Catalog is an experimental, proof-of-concept database created
through the OCLC Internet Cataloging project, which is funded in part by
a grant from the U.S. Department of Education, office of library
programs.

The InterCat catalog comprises nearly 1,000 bibliographic records for
selected Internet resources.  Using a Web browser, users can search the
database, view retrieval lists, display records, and follow "hot links"
to the described resources.  The database was implemented by the OCLC
office of research using OCLC SiteSearch and WebZ software.

Records in the database have been created by librarians, most of whom are
associated with the 181 institutions worldwide that are participating in
the OCLC Internet Cataloging project.  Participants in the project
identify, select and catalog resources using widely accepted professional
standards and practices for information description.  Records in the
catalog were created in accordance with Anglo-American Cataloguing Rules,
2d ed., revised (AACR2R) using the USMARC format.  Each record contains
electronic location and access information in a tagged field--856--which
enables access to remote Internet resources.

The records are suitable for inclusion in local, regional and national
bibliographic catalogs, thus integrating the description and access of
Internet resources within existing library systems.

Project enrollment remains open through the March 31, 1996 project
end-date.  Additional information is available from Erik Jul at
1-614-764-4364 or erik_jul@oclc.org, or from the project's home page at
http://www.oclc.org/oclc/man/catproj/catcall.htm.  The database is also
available through OCLC's home page, http://www.oclc.org, under "What's
New, What's Hot."

The Internet Cataloging project is one of several OCLC initiatives to
provide access to the resources on the Internet.  NetFirst, a database
that will soon be available on FirstSearch and EPIC, will provide
thorough indexing and abstracting of Internet resources.  Records are
created using a combination of automated and human editorial processes
that include creation of an abstract and the assignment of subject
headings and classification numbers.  A demonstration of NetFirst is
available at http://www.oclc.org/oclc/netfirst.htm and through OCLC's
home page under "What's New, What's Hot."  Questions about NetFirst or
suggestions for items to include may be made to netfirst@oclc.org.

Dear Oliver and (former) colleagues. At the 95 MLA Annual Conference Tony Olson
from Northwestern University Library displayed on a poster that library` s
effort to map Library of Congress Subject Headings against MeSH-terms.
Discussions between Northwestern and NLM have taken place in the meantime
about who would / could make such an authority list available to other
libraries.  Lou Knecht from the MEDLARS Management Section of NLM just sent
me the message, that"Northwestern Univ. Library will plan to put the MeSH autho
rity records with the LCSH mapping information on the Northwestern University
Library FTP server, perhaps sometime this fall"  E-Mail Tony Olson at:
