This is in response to the reference question from Sharon Heller,
Health Sciences Library, University of Buffalo. According to the
1992-1993 edition of American Men & Women of Science (received in
our library 1/28/92), Bela Issekutz, Jr. was born in Kolozsvar,
Hungary, on 12/24/12. He is Emeritus Professor of Physiology,
Dalhousie University (since 1983). His mailing address is:
50 Nightingale Drive, Halifax NS B3M 1V4, Canada. He is indeed a
pharmacologist, working on such topics as mode of action of
thyroxine and insulin. Hope this is helpful.

Another vote for status quo.  Although I would like to encourage
descriptive subject lines.

Thanks Nancy for all your work.

I would like to know though if others see this as a source for solving
reference questions? Rather than just philosophical discussions.  I enjoy
the philosophy but since I am a one-person library 3,500 miles from the
nearest cohort I need ideas sometimes on how to answer questions but the
ones I have put to this list have been ignored.  If the concensus is
philosophy only then I will stop wasting your time - but I would like to
know the ground rules.

Subject:      Page nos. on bound vol. spines and loose issues

To follow up Steve Murden's question on numbering pages on
spines and an associated question on loose issues (at end)

A number of years ago I asked our library to consider
putting page numbers on spines after having to deal with
extremely heavy sections of several journals that were
coming out with one volume per year.  Some, like the
Journal of Biological Chemistry or Proceedings of the
National Academy of Sciences, USA may contain 15,000 -
20,000 pages or so.  Apart from the lack of interest in
changing from the standard methods, the arguments against
it were basically ones of cost as each new line would be
charged and, "wouldn't I prefer the money to spent on new
periodicals?"   In a journal of say 10 sections, this would
be 10 extra lines or, if I remember the figure at that
time,about $15.00 per year.

In spite of this argument, and also noticing a lack in the
acquisition of new periodicals, I am a believer that page
numbers should be given when a volume is bound in four or
more sections as it becomes very hard for users to predict
break points.  As cost could become a major factor, this
may be asking too much; however, there are not a great
number of journals that have 5 or more bound parts if the
numbers of pages bound per unit are fairly large.

Why do it?  It makes a great deal of sense, in time saving
to library staff and patrons and in reduction of wear on
volumes handled unnecessarily, if at least these very large
volumes were paginated on the spines.  I believe we had
about 10 or so journals that fitted the category and the
number of pages per bound section might be 1300-1900.  It
might also be sensible to paginate sections of periodicals
that are used heavily.  Library historians could look at
the collection several years hence and say, 1992 was a
special year when Bellwether Librarian introduced this
simple labor saving device, but why did it take so long?

I will bring this issue up with the new librarian here.

Any ideas on how to keep unbound weekly issues in order so
you don't have to hunt through 50 or so sections to find
the one you want?  E.g. Looking for a 1991 Lancet before it
is bound?

NET-TRAIN is a discussion list for librarians, academic
department computer jocks, computing and information services
people--anyone who is involved in training or support of others
in using the resources available on Bitnet and Internet.  Issues
for discussion might include: Who does the training at a
particular institution?  Who gets trained--faculty, staff, and
students?  Who provides support for different groups of users?
How is responsibility for different areas divided among different
groups, for instance, academic librarians and computer support
professionals?  Plans include developing an archive of training
materials that have been developed in-house at various
institutions.

What a moderated list means depends on the moderator's effort. Some moderators
just keep out the blatant garbage--subscribe/unsub messages, ads, etc. Other
moderators sort incoming messages by subject and send them out in batches--
see PACS-L, SF-LOVERS or SHAKESPR for examples of these. Some moderated lists
operate almost like unmoderated ones, you just don't see the occasional glitch
message. Other lists are truely reflections of their moderators personalities--
for better or worse. (Nancy, yours would be the former, of course...)

At the University of Kentucky Medical Center Library, we try to keep a

them on occasion to look up previously-indexed-under items and definitions
of new terms.  Back when NLM collected these and published the cumulated
list as a Tech. Note supplement, we used that, but I don't know of a
recent cumulation.  The rest of our MeSH sets go to endusers who
literally beg for them and to branch libraries elsewhere on campus who
use Medline on rare occasions and who do not wish to purchase MeSH for
the infrequent search.  You can always use the NLM MESH file, of course,
or the MESH file on CDPlus, etc., but even if you don't choose to keep
a printed set, you'll have no trouble finding grateful (no association
with Grateful Med intended...) recipients.

Subject:      Job Announcement

I met the director of our health science library today, and she commented on
the stir that had been created by the recent job announcement on the MEDLIB-L
Internet list.  Since I was solely responsible for posting that announcement,
her news was of a great deal of interest to me.

I maintain an application on the North Dakota Higher Ed Computer Network
(HECN) called UNDMED.  In that application, several Internet and Bitnet lists
that are related to medicine and the natural sciences are archived.  Those
archives are made available to medical students, doctors and any other health
care professionals that might be interested at various locations at our four
campuses around the state via PC and modem interfaces into the HECN.  MEDLIB-L
is one of those lists archived on UNDMED because I consider topics related to
health science libraries to likely be of interest to physicians and medical
students.

Reply for Smurden@vcuvax.bitnet :

1) MEDLIB-L was one of several lists that I targeted with the job
announcement.  I feel that a list is an appropriate place to place a job
announcement, and I felt that all of the lists I targeted  were appropriate
due to their probable interest to physicians.  Sorry you disagree.

The announcement did not cause a stir on the other lists.

2) From my personal knowledge, I can tell you that  there are at least a few
Docs that could be reading this list along the with other lists related to
health care.  Sorry, I can't tell you how many.


For hslstart@ubvm.bitnet:

Your list may be bigger that you think, I don't honestly know how many people
read it through our application, but the number is definitely more than the
one subscriber that you show.

[some stuff deleted for space]

Haven't run into this problem personally, since most of the journals we
deal with are bound in one or two sections, yearly, but *I* certainly am
in favor of *anything* making retrieval easier on all concerned, both staff
and user. If I might offer a simplistic suggestion, simply print out some
appropriate spine labels for journals where pagination would be helpful. Too
much trouble to have previous volumes fixed, and no need to pay for special
binding orders when you don't have to. Another application of the old KISS
principle :-)

Subject:      Re: Moderating MEDLIB-L

Can someone elaborate on the differences between a "moderated" list vs. an
"un-moderated" one?  I'm confused as to what the difference is.  Does
a moderator just eliminate the mistakenly directed listserv messages
that get sent to the entire list?  Or does a moderator eliminate other
messages as well, such as messages that may be against MEDLIB-L policies
(blatant advertisements, chain letters, job postings, etc.) or messages
that the moderator deems offensive to the majority of MEDLIB-L members?
(like the recent H. King affair)

Eliminating the mis-directed listserv messages seems to be a routine task,
while judging the content of all messages and filtering them seems like
a huge undertaking.  I wouldn't imagine that Nancy would have time for all
that.

I guess my question is this: "How would a "moderated" MEDLIB-L be different
from the present MEDLIB-L?"
