Subject:      RE: Storepostings overflow

I, too, have noticed the overflow more than before.  I haven't searched
NLM databases directly for a few years (I was using onsite tapes,
or BRS direct), so this was a change for me.  It doesn;t happen all
that often, but when it does, it's quite frustrating.  I usually
switch to BRS and run the search, there.

Regarding the new year's load for MEDLARS, I though I saw a message,
yesterday, which states that the current file will be 1990-, and that
the backfile names and dates have nee   been changed.  Maybe this will help.

Regarding CD-ROM:  I, also, have thi s  s option.  But, when a search is
that "broad", although CD-ROM can handle it, I'm usuaul      often too impatient
to wait for all the processing time!

Good luck!

I use the Stedman's for Wordperfect and have been very happy with it.  IT
was very easy to install, and basically is just a substitute for the
builtin Wordperfect dictionary, so can easily be used on a network.

      To the person who seems so disgruntled about NLM, but neglected to
      identify himself/herself:

      As they say in the pop psychology groups, you seem a little upset
      ...  I just wanted to make two points.  First, I think Thelma will
      be surprised to learn that she's "been retired," as you said-- she
      certainly spends a lot of time here!  Secondly, please don't
      condemn the entire NLM because of some unsatisfactory interactions
      with one area of the library.  A lot of what we do here (I say
      modestly) is very good.

Subject:      Re: Storepostings overflow

Right on!  I have also noticed a great many more STORPSTG OVFLW and
PROCPSTG OVFLW messages in the past several years and have, on occasion,
called the Health Sciences Resource Centre (HSRC) at the Canada Institute
for Scientific and Technical Information (CISTI) to ask why.  They handle
all MEDLARS access in Canada, by the way ...

They tell me that when I do Multifile Searches (mfs) automatically, I get a
fairly small working space set up for the search and that, often, the sets
I want to create exceed the capacity of the working space and the OVFLW
messages are generated.  At least, that's what I took in of the extremely
lengthy and complicated response which ultimately reached me after several
complaints and their (HSRC's) consultation with NLM.  I have noted that
when I put the same search in manually, I don't always experience the same
problem with OVFLW messages.

The problem is encountered frustratingly often, however, and you would
expect that the computer gurus at NLM would have been able to figure a way
around it by now!  If they can reduce the price of MEDLINE searching
dramatically in January, why can't they fix a few OVFLW messages?

We are in the process of creating an adequate statistics form for Reference

share, I would appreciate having a copy.  Replies by regular mail might be
easier for all concerned, but any replies will be appreciated.  If you have
insights/advice on the best way to handle statistics keeping, this would also
be of interest.  A further question - has anyone felt the need to enlarge or
change their statistics in response to the recent document from AHSLD which
emphasizes their shift to the service roles concept?

Our library has not been able to do immunology searches on MEDLARS for
several years due to the overflow problem but ours is a genterm overflow.
If you have ever tried to explode an immunology tree you will get a
genterm overflow. We have choosen the expensive alternative of BRS but are
very satisfied with our efficiency. We also use alot of word adjacency for
our science questions and these are also almost impossible on MEDLARS. We
use MEDLARS for SDIs and their other databases but find it too frustrating
to search on a regular basis. Although we use BRS, I'm sure Dialog or
DataStar are as efficient as BRS.

Subject:      Re: RFI Multi-facility/multiple-user HCIS Dec. 8 thru Dec. 15

On Dec. 8, 11, and 15 I posted a request for information about multiple
hospitals and other organizations sharing information systems.

The text started:  "I have been asked by a large community hospital ..."

I received 15 replies and/or queries and have prepared a summary of the
contents.  I have mailed the summary to those who replied and will email
it to anyone else who requests it.  It is too long for general posting.

Please send a private email message to me at

CMLHD@ACADVM1.UOTTAWA.CA

if you wish to have a copy of the summary.
