As head of the office at the Library of Congress which assigns ISSN, the
National Serials Data Program, I can confirm the fact that Bryn Mawr
Classical Review does have separate ISSN for the paper version and the
electronic version.  At the time the two ISSN were assigned the differences
in the two versions were more relevant to the assignment of two numbers
than they will probably be in the future.  As a result of a new policy
decided at the meeting of the directors of the International Serials
Data System last fall, publications in different media will be given
separate ISSN.  All the implementation details of the new policy are
still being worked out but it is likely that the exception to this policy
will be reproductions such as microform reproductions of paper journals.
These reproductions will probably continue to receive the same ISSN as
the original journal.

As for the question about Psycoloquy, the answer is much more simple.
The correct ISSN is 1055-0143.  The other number belongs to a completely
different publication.  I will contact the other lists with the correct
ISSN.

Subject:      OJCCT

Late last week our department (Information Services/UConn Health Center
Library, Farmington, Connecticut) loaded Guidon and ran several test
searches on the Online Journal of Current Clinical Trials.  Although
my first impression was somewhat negative, after logging on a few times
and searching, OJCCT appears revolutionary.  There isn't very much in
terms of clinical data presently, but the journal is in its infancy.

How many other librarians/searchers have accessed OJCCT?  Please note your
impressions concerning logging on, costs, time concerns, etc.  Also, how
will you make the journal available to requesters/end users (for fee?
limited availability?  Librarian mediated searching only? etc.)

Software setup and running the sarches in the Windows environment was
easy.  Searching even "neoplasms" yielded zero hits.  The HELP function
was very good.  At this first glance, having printed one document (a
paragraph document took 28 minutes) the database doesn't seem pricey.
Please share any comments.

Are you primarily Mac- or PC-based? We have both and have
ended up over the years switching all of our videodisc
work over to the Macintoshes. *Much* more straightforward!
We use *only* Pioneer LVDs, but various madels within that.
Stations used for general use or to be wheeled on carts around
the Med Center are mostly 2200s (a solid workhorse, but sometimes
a little slow and doesn't have all the fancy trappings), whereas
for computer-aided instruction development workstations we
prefer the 8000. Don't buy the 6000 -- it uses different
drivers than the others. Initially we had an LVD cabled
to both a Mac and PC with an A/B box. Most of the PC programs
that were actually used have since been converted to Mac,
much to our relief.

Exquisite! Beautiful ... the image resolution is phenomenal
compared to what we've gotten elsewhere. Our faculty literally
started drooling when they first saw it. Quality is of course
even better when you use the monitor ImageDisc recommends --
the Sony TRINITON Super fine pitch monitor (PVM-1342Q).
Our histology faculty are, naturally, very quality sensitive
when it comes to images. They say that the images from
ImageDisc on the fine-pitch monitor are actually superior
to what the students would see themselves through a microscope.

Slice of Life has some broken down by system (ie.
neuroanatomy is HyperBrain/HyperHead; cardiac = HyperHeart; etc.).
THE ANATOMY PROJECT is also broken down by system, but
maybe in more detail? Also more expensive. Be sure to
preview prior to purchase. There are a number of
generic videodiscs out which would require you to build
your own computer interface. Usually these include
anatomy, histology, pathology, radiology, etc. all on the same
disc.

	I am trying to find out current trends in the organization of
access services in medical libraries. I am very interested in
identifying medical library institutions (both academic and
hospital) with a head of access/circulation services or with a
formally designated "access" unit or department. If you are aware
of any libraries with access services or you yourself work in an
access services unit/department, I would appreciate your contacting
me with any relevant information. Specifically I am interested in
a) how long your department has been called "access services", b)
what functions fall withing the purview of access services in your
library, and c) whom does the head of access services report to in
your library.
	 I would also greatly appreciate copies of any documents
relating to access services organization and management you may
have, such as: org charts, department goals and objectives,
policies, job descriptions for the head, etc.
	Please send your replies to my email address rather than the
general med-libs list server address as not to overburdern others.

I'm curious about consortium development.  Why are consortiums being created?
How do they enhance or detract from OCLC, RLIN, RML, and state library network
services?  Do small systems interact with larger systems to decrease
useless duplication or to bridge gaps?  Or does each system run itself as
if no other systems existed?  Who runs the consortia and are they the same
as those who run other library and professional networks in the area?

I am with Sigma Theta Tau, Int.  a professional honor society for nursing.
We are in the process of developing an electronic library for nurses.  The
library will contain a number of databases built on BRS software and
available via the Internet, an online journal, a bulletin board system,
and several other projects.  The databases are very close to release
(we hope this fall)...two of the largest are the Database of Nurse
Researchers, a directory database of nurse researchers and their projects
and Meeting Abstracts, abstracts of Sigma and other professional association
meetings in nursing.  We hope to add an Information & Referral database that
provides access points for other nursing databases and information resources,
a table of contents database for Sigma monographs, and a full text version of
our journal "Image".

The online journal, tentatively called Electronic Journal of Knowledge Synthese
s for Clincal Practice, will attempt to synthesize nursing knowledge and
research to make it accessable to the nurse clinician.  We have an editor
and editorial board and are currently investigating electronic printers.
Target date for publication is November 1993.

The Bulletin Board System is also under development.  We are planning a
multiline system pc-based on commercial software.  The BBS will offer
subject related conferences (e.g. international consulting is one that
our members have requested), a place for journal authors to upload their
articles to us, discussion groups for library related issues, and a system
where nurse researchers interested in this type of technology can try out
demonstration projects.  We are currently working on funding for this project
and expect it to be up by the first of the year.


I am always looking for suggestions for information resources that are
needed in nursing.  We aim to catch the fugitive literature, rather than
trying to duplicate what is already being done well by CINAHL and NLM.  We
are particularly interested in offering full text sources and I would
welcome suggestions from list members on this topic.

For more information about what is happening with the library (official
name:  the Virginia Henderson International Nursing Library) please watch
our magazine "Reflections".

(Cross posted to IR-L, LIBRES, MEDLIB-L, PACS-L, and alt.hypertext--
usual apologies if you see this more than once!)

Need help re: currently popular/respected MS-DOS based hypertext
development products.

We are trying to work up a project plan in a SHORT "window of
opportunity" for funding--something other University folks can
appreciate, I'm sure--for what will turn out to be a sort of a hypertext
book on CD-ROM.

A professor here is already a successful print publisher, but wants to
take the text of his last work and update it in electronic form this
time rather than just in print form.  This means the text, figures,
and tables, and a way to get to each.  For example, when the text
says, "in Figure 12 you can see the results of..." you have a command,
button, or function-key to press which will "pop up" or otherwise
activate "Figure 12". I'm not defining whether "Figure 12" will be a
scanned image or redrawn artwork, or whether it will be .PIC, .PCX,
.TIF, .EPS, or whatever--I suspect I'll be more limited by the
products which can show this and text, than by how I can deliver the
Figures.

It is a reference work, so the "chapters" follow a regular format.  I
can see the opportunity to cross "data base" and "hypertext/linking"
lines here, since the text content organization is so regular.

I've been hanging around the edges since Hypertext '89 in Pittsburgh,
but this will be my first real -funded- project (we hope!). Otherwise,
I haven't worked much with anything but HyperCard (and a -little- look
at Owl Guide).  This project is defined as being MS-DOS based.  I'm
inclined to try to stay away from Windows, from a market standpoint as
well as for complexity's sake, but that's by no means a given.

So, what are currently popular MS-DOS based products that would lend
themselves to creation of an MS-DOS CD-ROM like this?  Will something
like MaxThink be able to handle the text links (like to tables or other
articles which are related) and the "figures"?  Will I have to use
Windows-based products, or are there non-Windows products which can fill
the bill?

Thanks!

Subject:      Small consortia

HILOW, Health Information Libraries of Greater Westchester (in NY), has
been in existence for over 20 years.  It unites hospital, academic, and
corporate libraries for the purposes of free interlibrary loans, con-
tinuing education, and professional networking at a nominal annual fee of
approximatley $30.  Particularly for hospital librarians it has permitted
access to resources, information, and collegiality that are not readily
available to them due to costs and distances from metropolitan areas.
HILOW and other similar groupings in the NY metropolitan area then serve
as liasons to the RML and other local and state consortia. I don't know
if many of my former HILOW colleagues presently have access to the Internet
but figuring out how to provide it for them would be a typical project
for HILOW.

Discovery '92 is the Joint Meeting of the Midcontinental and Midwest Chapters
of the Medical Library Association.  We will be meeting from Sept. 30 -
October 3, 1992 in Saint Louis, Missouri.  You can still register for this
meeting and WE hope you will.  It promises to be a great meeting.  Following
in the format of the great debates from MLA '92, the Keynote is a debate
between Nancy Lorenzi and Pat Molholt on the changing role of libraries in
their institutions.  Later there will be 25 different roundtable discussions
covering every subject known to libraryland! ;).  The concurrent sessions
feature experts in the areas of quality filtering, CAI in medical education
and cooperative collection development.

Combined with exhibits, poster sessions, a trip to the Bowling Hall of Fame
and the world class Missouri Botanical Garden this should be a meeting to
remember.
