Also, try CHILD ABUSE AND NEGLECT AND FAMILY VIOLENCE, File 64 on Dialog.
It now includes citations to the elder abuse literature.
Also, the National Clearinghouse on Family Violence  in Ottawa, Ontario
publishes a comprehensive bibliography on elder abuse, although it's
dated 1988.  For this bibliography, write to: The National Clearinghouse
on Family Violence, Room 744, Brooke Claxton Building, Tunney's Pasture,
Ottawa, Ont. K1A 1B5.

Our library seeks to comprehensively collect in the area of elder abuse.
If you need any assistance with identifying the literature, let me know.

Subject:      Request for statistics

I am attempting to write an article on staffing patterns and productivity
in academic health sciences libraries, based on data from the AAHSLD Annual
Statistics.  While the Statistics have numbers of personnel assigned to various
departments in the AAHSLD libraries (information services, ILL, administration,
etc.), they don't have data on salaries/wages of those persons, broken down
by (1) professionals, (2) paraprofessionals, (3) clerical assistants, and
(4) student workers.

 A literature search didn't reveal any source of the data I need:  ARL stats,
 for example, only give average salaries of Professionals, as do the MLA stats
from the 1992 Salary Survey.

Does anyone have a source of annual average salaries/wages of these four types
of library employee, either published or unpublished, that I could use?

Hi,
I am not a librarian, nor am I in North America, but I would
very much like to keep track of what happens in this initiative.

I run a biocomputing research and user support service at the
National Univ of Singapore, and we do have plans to get bibliography
data on reference management db systems and in this regard,
the data exchange format should be important to us in the development
of bibliographic software.

I would very much like to receive any information regarding this project
and would like to participate if I could, but I have other responsibilities.

Subject:      Internet uses

Greetings!  Our library is currently looking at ways to justify full
Internet connection for the hospital and its many affiliates.  The
library staff is very excited about the educational opportunities
the Internet can provide.  This is a teaching hospital, and we
envision this network as a great asset, not only for the residents,
but for the physicians in rural areas and the practicing physicians.
 Now we need to convince others in our institution!  If anyone can
provide me with some examples of how their library or institution is
using the Internet.  (Other than e-mail)  We are especially
intrigued with the idea of transporting diagnostic images over the
"net".  (Is this presently possible?)  Also, if any hospital out
their has become an Internet host, (or whatever the proper term is),
can you give me some idea as
to how much time and staff is required to keep it going and provide
technical support?  Any info is appreciated. Thanks!

Thanks for the replies. Here is a summary. The overwhelming majority of replies
 described very creative crafty-type uses such as christmas tree decorations, m
obiles, coffe cup coasters and even a belt! Others use them for displays about
CD-Rom and training sessions. Nancy Luikart at Texas Tech contacted publishers
who replied that the chemicals used in the disks corrode quickly and are of no
use in the industry. Recycling centers will not accept them. So - for now at le

                      ACCESSING DATABASES OF THE
         NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE THROUGH ELECTRONIC
                                  MAIL

                               .........


During the I Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information held on
October 1992 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Pan American Health Organization,
Regional Office of the World Health Organization officially launched BITNIS
(Batch BITNET/Internet to NLM Intercommunication Service), for Latin
American and Caribbean Countries.

BITNIS it is a new mechanism for accessing all databases of the National
Library of Medicine (NLM) in Bethesda, Maryland. This method involves use
of GRATEFUL MED, BITNET, internet, UUCP, FIDONET, and a software
called SMED.

BITNIS was developed by Dr. Andres Stutzin and  Victor Cid of the
University of Chile, in collaboration with the National Library of Medicine
and the Pan American Health Organization.

BITNIS uses GRATEFUL MED (GM) to generate the desired bibliographic
search.  GM is a user-friendly software program that run on an IBM- XT, AT
or other compatible computer and that permits a user without experience to do
a bibliographic search of the Medical Library Analysis and Retrieval System
(MEDLARS) of the NLM.

GM allows formulation and modification of a search strategy before sending
via BITNET, internet, UUNET, etc. The search strategy is formatted by
SMED and then that "file" is sending by electronic mail through any network
to NLM internet node. The BITNIS gateway captures the message and
converts it for processing by the NLM computer.  The results of the search
then are returned by the NLM computer to the gateway where the file is
converted for transmission via computer network to the recipient's PC.

BIREME (Latin American and Caribbean Center for Health Sciences
Information), will be the coordinator for distribution of BITNIS passwords
through  its network.  BITNIS will is available to the scientific and academic
community on credit accounts bases.


                         Requirements

1.    IBM PC (XT, AT) compatible.
2.    Access to BITNET, internet, UUNET, econet, peacenet.
3.    Grateful Med version 6.0 + Smed 4.01
4.    Subscribe to BITNIS through BIREME (Latin American and
      Caribbean Center for Health Sciences Information Center.).

Hello Dr. Panella,

	I would personally like to thank you for responding to my request.
I managed to ascertain some data regarding that subject: outbound patient
referrals, specifically for medical treatment.

	I'd also like for you to share your thoughts (and others) in that I'm
interested in medical librarianship; however, my undergraduate major was
organizational communication (behavior).  Thus, my background was not geared
towards the "hard sciences."  Presently, I'm enrolled in Health Sciences
 Resources and Services, which is
extremely helpful; Prof. Ellen Detlefsen is the instructor (who is
an excellent teacher I might add). Given my interests, what do you
suggest in terms of graduate course work or otherwise.  I would especially
like to hear from those medical librarians who weren't science majors in
undergrad.  Thanks!

Subject:      Reference materials cancellation decision-making

We recently initiated evaluation of our reference collection in a formal
way (that is, by collecting usage statistics).  I designed a form that is
attached to the inside back cover or pages.  The question "should the
library stop purchasing this reference work" appears on the top of the form
Beneath the question there is a column for Name and Extension followed by
columns for yes, no and "Check use."  Tech services places the form in all
new materials and reference librarians place forms in any reference text
they use to answer a question.
        The data collection form was designed primarily for reference staff
to use but we wanted patrons to be able to use it if they noticed it.
In a bout 6 months I'll start checking the back covers and before I
renew any subscription to a reference item.

Hi
Its me again asking more questions relating to setting up a local installation
of Medline files.  I have been talking to various people some of whom think
that economically it is better to have everyone using Grateful Med.  I
still think that it is probably more cost effective to have local files and
make them widely available within the institution.  What I would like to
know form institutions that have set up Medline files is about local usage?
Could people please send me some indication of their searches on the system
Most particulary I would be interested in the numbers of search sessions
per year and if the information on the size of the institution and various
faculties of health could be included, that would be helpfuyl. Thanks for
your assistance in advacne

A suggested copyright warning notice for public access microcomputers
appears in Appendix G of MLA's Copyright Law and the Health Sciences Librarian.
It suggests the following language:

        MANY COMPUTER PROGRAMS ARE PROTECTED BY COPYRIGHT, 17 U.S.C.,
        SECTION 101. UNAUTHORIZED COPYING MAY BE PROHIBITED BY LAW.

The guidelines also strongly suggest that the warning notice be posted on all
machines that are available to the public. You might want to check out
the guidelines for yourself because they provide other useful tips as well.

Subject:      Re: CD-ROM disks

We decorate the library Christmas tree every year with our superseded
CD-ROM disks and save them up for that purpose!  At first, the students
thought it was quite funny that anyone would think of them as decorations,
but after three or four years, they have grown used to it and to our
penchant for shiny, flat ornaments on the library tree.

We also use one or two of the most recent for instruction; using the old
ones means that we don't have to take current disks out of use in order to
teach our classes ...
