    Sorry it took so long for me to post this! Here is the information about
the Endnote deal, for those that might be interested in buying it as a group.
 The prices for both Endnote Plus and Endlink (the accompanying software that
allows you to get references directly from the source say, Psyclit or
Medline) and enter them into your own reference directory) are 50% off
regular prices.
                Endnote Plus     $124.83
                Endlink          $ 49.83
                Shipping         $  8.00

    These prices were the lowest I was able to find, even though the $8.00
shipping charge does raise the price.  If you are not interested in buying
this as a group, you might find pretty good deals elsewhere.  At UCLA, for
example, the prices for Endnote and Endlink are a bit higher that this deal,
but without the shipping charge, the difference is not hughe.
    There were four people that had expressed some interest in purchasing the
package.  If they still are, and if someone else might be, please contact me
directly to find out more about how payment will work, and whether you would
need a Mac or PC format.
    Hope this helps,   Nangel

For anyone who wants PRODUCT information about EndNote,
EndNotePlus, and Endlink, I recommend you send for a  FREE
brochure describing these products.  Call or write the
manufacturer at:

     NILES & ASSOCIATES, INC.
     2000 HEARST STREET
     SUITE 200
     BERKELEY, CA  94709
     (510) 649-8176

As near as I can tell, the best place to BUY your software is
from a softwarehouse called

     MICRO WAREHOUSE
     PHONE:  1-800-367-7080

For price comparison try

     PC CONNECTION
     PHONE:1-800-800-0004

The manufacturer (NILES) will only beat these deals if you order
SIX or more copies.  Note that you will have to pay with one
credit card and pay shipping on each copy ($8).  I'm not sure
what the shipping charges  would be if all copies were shipped to
the same address.  I also do not know how much  the
softwarehouses charge for shipping (I think it's only $3 at MICRO
WAREHOUSE).

One last thing, if you get Endlink with either EndNote or EndNote


One last thing, if you get Endlink with either EndNote or EndNote
Plus, you will be able to download bibliographic references
directly from computer databases such as MEDLINE and PSYC INFO.
and into your paper.  YOU WON'T HAVE TO TYPE  YOUR REFERENCES!

Good luck!
(Please make all inquiries to the companies listed above; I
really don't have any more info)

Has anyone seen the new (and added-cost) Quik Reports in action?
The recently mailed blurb showed a rather impressive *number* of
reports, but no indication as to what they look like, or how "custom"
you can get with the custom design capabilities.

I was just wondering how worthwhile this package would be to a site
that already has a SAS programmer.

I think this latest installation of the 5.? OPAC fiasco should
be called "Honey, I blew up the footers".

At a conference in Urbana, Edward Tufte's comment on OPAC
interfaces was as follows (not verbatum):
  You have two intelligent machines (a user and a database)
  using an interface (the terminal screen-24x80) which
  uses 2% of our visual ability. (He was not impressed.)

Now we have NOTIS reducing the window for the actual data even
more. The prompts are rapidly learned by a regular user.
The only prompt you really need is HELP for what to do next.
I suggest we ask NSI to reduce, not increase the size of the
footer. Unless its all an evil plot to make us want and buy
PRO-PAC?

Thanks to all who let me know my messages were getting through, how to

message (but thanks for the REPRO advice!) as the continuous receipt of
messages back from the POSTMASTER at TCSVM that there was no such

had that problem on other lists.  Major mystery.  Sorry for the mailbox

Subject:      Medical jnl abbreviations added to bib records

Medical Libraries were "introduced" to Loansome Doc, the National
Library of Medicine's interlibrary loan package for end-users, last
fall.  I won't bore you with the problems, both real and perceived,
this innovation caused.  The ony reason for bringing it up is to
tell you all how we made the bib records for our journals a little
more user friendly.
Folks running a search on either Grateful Med (the parent of
Loansome Doc) or Medline receive an abbreviated journal title.  In
order to search our opac, the title has always needed to be put in
in full (is there an "of the" or "and" lurking in the midst of the
title and just what does Clin or Adv stand for??).  This spring,
we decided that we needed to add the journal abbreviations to all
of the journal bib records.  The serials librarian determined that
the best field for the abbreviations was 212:1.  The monographs
librarian set up a function key to facilitate the additions.  The
reference staff checked the opac for those journals owned that are
indexed online by NLM and then made the additions.
All of this took about six weeks of "spare" time.  While we
originally did this for the benefit of the patrons, the staff is
probably the most delighted.  No more do we have to go hunting for
a List of Serials Indexed Online to figure out the abbreviation
before searching the opac.  Since we have more than one library on
our opac, searching by abbreviations pulls up Medical Library
holdings only - a nice side benefit.

Subject:      Re: 5.1 OPAC CHANGES (SCREEN)

I propose one small change to LSYS/MSYS
to greatly facilitate screen editing.

If the RETURN key were treated as a TAB,
and A FUNCTION KEY performed the "enter"
function, then  we could use WINDOWS (or
similar) to CUT and PASTE and EDIT screens.

NOW, when you CUT a screen to the NOTEPAD
and EDIT it, RETURNs are appended to each
line when you PASTE it back.  These RETURNs
invoke NOTIS processing, so you can edit only
single lines.

If the RETURNs were treated as TABs, the
PASTE would skip to the next line and you
could PASTE in a full screen or part of
a screen (lines).  You would then press
the FUNCTION KEY to initiate the update.


Of course, I realize that such a "small"
change would require 8 months of analysis,
13 months of prograomming time, full BETA
testing, and would eliminate the DISCHARGE
function from the circ module.

But, just a thought.

Subject:      Re: diacritics and volume holdings

In second response to the message copied below (Ron Johnston pointed out the
incompleteness of my first response -- Thanks, Ron):

Foreign records loaded into NOTIS by the old NOTIS loaders (LBC series)
correctly translated all characters, without regard to the destination record
type, tag, or subfield (I have not used or examined the new, LCN series
loaders).  VHLD display does not retranslate characters upon display so special
characters and diacritics show up as garbage.  BUT!! when the VHLD records have
been converted to MHLD (no character translation is involved), the MHLD display
will retranslate them and all characters should display correctly.  Special
characters and diacritics created in NOTIS VHLD records will be stored as
incorrect codes because no translation takes place during VHLD online data entry
and will display as garbage both before and after conversion to MHLD.

              30 Jul 1992 14:40:26 EDT <920730190

I cut my eye teeth on assembler, but give me C++ anyday.  Programming
is becoming less focused on *how* things are done, and more on *what*
people want to do.  It's the sort of natural abstraction that makes
life easier.

When I write code today, I'm less interested in implementing Quicksort
or B-Trees from scratch, and more interested in learning how to use
search tools to cruise the Internet looking for modules to patch into
my applications.

Assembler may have it's place for CPU intensive segments, but for
overall application development, give me a higher level language
anyday.

Subject:      New Circ Notice Problem

An item was charged on June 23 by a patron whose id expired oJune 26, so a due
date of June 26 was generated.  So far so good.  The first overdue notice was
generated on July 21 as if the patron had the full 14 day loan and then adding
the 14 days we normally wait before printing our first notice.  I think the
notice should have been generated 14 days after June 26.  Is this a problem?
Does any one else have this problem?  Is there a problem tracking number?

Speaking for the Circulation SIG only, we are not submitting
enhancements to NSI for the 1993 Enhancement Ballot.  The lengthy
documents I am sending to the list for information (and comments)
are the documents    NSI will receive as part of the 5.2 "rewrite"
of circulation process.

SIG members decided not to submit new circulation enhancements
for the ballot this year because so much of 5.2 is circ.

The SIG members at ALA San Francisco requested that these
documents be circulated to NOTIS-L as well as to the
SIG mailing lists.

We had AICA abends occuring at one service unit when due dates were 8/1/92 or
later. As it turned out, I had entered the wrong date for the next period to
begin in LC107; instead of 92217 I had 92214. When this was corrected,
the abend no longer occured. The 4.6.1 tables have trouble finding due dates
when the SU is closed all days of the week.

No problem in 5.0 we have tested.
