I like Alice Hadley's idea on flagging reference questions and responses
in some fashion in the subject header. I'd like to suggest, too, that
responses go directly to the requestor rather than the list when the information
   is of limited value to the general readership. The location of the Brisbane

Subject:      Medlars access through Internet

I am still unable to access Medlars via the Internet from my PC.
We are on Vines and use PC/TCP version 2.05 from FTP Software.  I
know that the problem is that I access Medlars in "page mode"
rather than "line mode", in a way getting into the wrong door at
Medlars.  Has anyone solved this?

There is no problem when I access from the VAX here at the
university.  But the idea is to not overuse the VAX when possible.

Jonathan Lord at Uva (July 9, 1992) seemed to have the same problem
when accessing from his PC. Have you found an answer at University
of Virginia?

Thank you all for your help!

Greetings!
Does any one know whether there is
     a) a translation
 or  b) an English abstract
and where to get them for the following article:

"Type II Restrictases: a schematic of possible evolutionary connections
between enzymes and palindrome tetranucleotide recognition segments",
by Degtiarev(or Degtyarev) SKh et.al., published in Mol. Biol. (Mosk),
1990 Sep.-Oct.; 24(5) 1393-8 (Eng. Abstr.)

A graduate student, who gets the above citation from Index Medicus, attending
Baylor University(Waco, Texas) needs this(meaning the actual article, a
translation, or an English abstract) very bacly. He searched
Biological Abstract and Science Citation Index(he needs the cited references
also) but was not fruitful.

Please send responses directly to me at "satyas@baylor.edu".
Thank you in advance.

Do you have ordering information for a _Broselow Tape_?

It is "A rapid method for estimating weight and resuscitation drug dosages
from length in the pediatric age group."  An article about it by the above
title was in _Annals of Emergency Medicine_ 1988 June v.17(6):576-81 by
Lubitz DS, et al.

It sounds like a great way to avoid medication errors in kids but we
can't find any ordering information.

Also do you know any negatives about it besides that it works best for
kids under 25kg?

Thanks for your help.

Anita Johnson: my library/ hospital is about the same size as yours and
we also have CD-PLUS.

A couple of years ago, ourubscription to Index Medicus got messed up and
we missed five issues. No one said a word; no one noticed.  To save money
on something used so rarely, I switched to the Abridged Index Medicus. I
am considering letting it go.

By the way, the proposed 1994 JCAHO "Knowledge-Based Information" standards
do NOT include the print Index Medicus.

Comments: Gated by NETNEWS@AUVM.AMERICAN.EDU

MEDLIB-L Readers,

This seems like a good time to post the scope of MEDLIB-L.  As I
envision it, anyway...  :-)

"MEDLIB-L is an electronic discussion list for medical and health
sciences librarians.  Practical and theoretical issues in public
and technical services are discussed.  This forum is for ideas,
questions, announcements, and concerns specific to health
sciences libraries."

In the early months of the list, the readership felt strongly
(and I agreed) that reference questions from NON-librarians were
inappropriate on this list.  When these questions do hit the list,
I reply with a form letter.  It explains the purpose of the list
and recommends contacting a local health sciences library for
assistance.

Reference questions from librarians, however, are quite
appropriate here.  Once a librarian has exhausted the resources
available to her/him, what could be better than calling on this
large pool of expertise for assistance?  A problem which has one
of us stumped may be within the special knowledge possessed by
another MEDLIB-L reader.  Invaluable help has been provided over
MEDLIB-L.

We should expect that every effort has been made to answer a
question before it is submitted to the list.  None of us has the
time to do other peoples' jobs for them.   The beauty of this
forum is the possiblity that someone on the list may be able
to quickly or easily answer a question which has someone else
stymied.  (Or provide assistance to a librarian who lacks
access to "the" essential resource for the question.)

Subject:      Patient Library Services and the Joint Commission

While reading a draft of the proposed Joint Commission Standards and
Scoring Guidelines for Information Management in 1994, one major change
caught my attention. No - I don't mean calling  library services the
"Knowledge-based" information function. I'm referring to the last part
of IM.10.2:

"The extent of knowledge-based information services, resources, and
systems
. . . is related to the needs of the medical and nursing staffs,
administrators and managers, other health professional staff, other
staff in the organization, students, patients and their families, and
researchers, and to the organizational services provided."

"Patients and their families" are often excluded from hospital library
services by hospital administration policy. Hospital librarians like
me who want to offer services to patients and their families finally
will have support in the Joint Commission standards.

Subject:      Consumer/patient health collection

Our consumer-oriented materials are funded by our local health sciences
library consortium because our library is the only medical library in the
area.  Since our monograph collection is relatively small (2500-3000 volumes),
we interfile our consumer materials with our professional collection.  Each
consumer/patient book has a spine label that reads "Patient Education",
so such items are easily recognizable on the shelves.  This has worked well
for us, since having the consumer books interfiled with the professional
books makes it easy to move up to more advanced information sources (i.e.
Current Medical Diagnosis and Treatment, Conn's Current Therapy) that are
sometimes required to satisfy requests from laymen.

For a larger library, I can see where interfiling may not be practical.

We too will probably eventually run out of Consortium funding, and have not
yet tackled that problem.

We receive the journal: "Protein Science" and its diskettes.  Our journal
collection is non-circulating, so we have no problem with accidentally
passing the diskettes through the desensitizer, but we remove them from
each issue before putting them on the shelves anyhow.  Each issue
bears the legend: "with diskette appendix" in small print under the volume
and issue number on the title page and lists the diskette in the contents.
We don't affix any label or other indicator to show that there is another
part of the journal held somewhere else.  Our catalogue record for this
title right now says that the accompanying diskettes are not yet available
for use.

I asked our Technical Services people about this oddity and learned that
we ordered the title without realizing that the diskettes are only
available for Mac computers, and we're an IBM library.  We will be getting
a Mac for our lab (not only for this purpose, ...) but until we do, the
material can't be used in here at all so we haven't yet processed the
diskettes. If pressed, we would lend the diskettes to one of our own
patrons who had a MacIntosh computer, but in the period since April (when
we received our first issues), nobody has asked for them!

We're doing a journal use survey right now, and almost nobody has ticked
the little slips on the covers of the issues of "Protein Science" on our
shelves.  I realize that new titles require time to become known and
valuable, but it looks to me as though this one (at $495.00 per year) is
being voted onto a priority cancellation list by readers here ...

We have removed the disks from the journal.  Our journals don't circulate, so
the paper part of the journal goes with our others, and is bound as usual.
We affix a label that gives the call number and location of the accompanying
disk on each issue.  The disks are copied and kept in the Media stacks
(closed stack area), with the original archived along with all the rest of
our software.

I think we haven't yet bound a volume of this, but I would anticipate adding
a label to the bound volume with the location of the disks on it.  The
biggest problem with this kind of stuff is consistently noticing it at
check-in.

Subject:      ccMail-Mac file attributes
Newsgroups: bit.listserv.pmdf-l

We are using Pathworks and ccMail.  The ccMail-DOS to PMDF-ccMail is pretty
straight forward and as described in the PMDF documentation.  But, get the
stuff into the MAC environment is another issue.


Using ccMail suggestions for getting ccMail-Mac to gateway to other systems
requires a PC running Phonenet Talk.  The Phonenet talk mounts the Mac
volume with the postoffice on it and the import file (in bound to ccMail).
This import file is create by PMDF and does not have any of the resource
information that Mac's like.  This information is provided by the VAX
Pathworks-Mac server. Unfortunatly the default values for the resource
information for the files that we decided to create did not work.  We ended
up adding entries to the MSA$ROOT:[MSA]MSAF$FILES_TYPES.DAT file to resolve
the problem.  This is a little of a black art for me so I thought that our
implementation might be interesting to others.  Here are the entries that
we added.

!
!       Make a file that PhoneNet Talk will like
!
!Format Attr    Semantics   ".EXT"      Creator Type    Translation
*       *       *           EXP         mdos    TEXT    none
*       *       *           IMP         mdos    TEXT    none
*       *       *           UND         mdos    TEXT    none

Thus, and file that has a file type of EXP, IMP, or UND will get marked
with a creator of mdos, a type of TEXT, and no translation will be
performed.  What to set this to was gleaned of looking at a file that was
created by ccMail-Mac with ResEdit.

Hope this is useful.  Comments greatly appreciated.
