X-To:         medlib-l@ubvm.cc.buffalo.edu

A two-part satellite broadcast, "information STAT: Rx for
Hospital Quality," originating from Washington, DC on the afternoons of
October 22 and November 5, will address the critical role that
information services can play in improving hospital quality
and cost-effectiveness.

The National Library of Medicine is organizing two satellite
broadcasts receivable at 8,000 hospitals in the US, Canada
and Mexico.  Th broadcasts will feature brief appearances
by top Federal health officials, video segments of innovative
hospital library programs from around the country, and
discussions of the role of hospital based information services
involving leading hospital administrators, health professionals,
and health science librarians.  They will also address the
need to link computer-based patient record systems to other
information resources (the "IAIMS" concept) and to connect
hospitals to the emerging National Research and Education
Network.

There is no charge for receiving the programs or for
arranging the satellite downlink.  Videotapes of the programs
will be available for purchase following the broadcast.

To obtain information about how to arrange to receive the
broadcasts, the hospital's satellite or AV coordinator
should get in touch with a Regional Medical Library (1-800-
338-7657) or the NN/LM Network Office, National Library of
Medicine, 8600 Rockville Pike, Bethesda, MD 20894 (301-
496-4777.)  Individuals interested in attending the broadcast
who do not have acces to a satellite downlink facility may
wish to contact the Chief of Library Service at their
nearest VA Medical Center.  These Centers have been encouraged
to welcome community participation as space permits.

X-To:         medlib-l@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

We have recently loaded the Ariel software and would like to get some feedback
from others who are using it.  Our specific questions are:

1.  Is it working successfully and is it useful for any specific type of
    loans?

2.  Do you have to keep the machine dedicated to it's use in order to receive
    incoming requests or will it run in the background and store them as files?

3.  Do you have any written policies in regard to its operation and will you
    share them?

4.  Are there any tips on making it easily workable?


Thanks for any help you can offer.

One of the Freenets might be helpful (I don't know of any heart-related

like a community bulletin board, and they have specialists involved.  Good

Has anyone tried to bind Medicare and Medicaid Guides? If so, what was your
spine format? What were your guidelines? There are numbers, parts,supplements,
addendums,different reports,etc.
Currently our issues are kept inside of clamp binders.We will be relocating
them to a new area and wish to have a better presentation -binding seemed
to be the answer.

We at the Briscoe Library also have had little use of Loansome Doc.  When
people inquire about LD, they do seem to be daunted by charges for
document delivery. We have nine registered Loansome Docs, however, only
one has actively used LD and he is not particularly lonesome being one
of our own faculty members who has an office about one mile away from
the library.  It is interesting to read about the experiences of
other libraries through this list.  Thanks for summarizing.

Subject:      Reference question

Greetings!

I am looking for the origin of the term "French" which is used to describe
the external diameter of a catheter. One "French" equals 1/3 millimeter.
It is often expressed as 8 Fr., or the French Scale or the French Size, or
merely as "French Catheters."  I have looked in the standard dictionaries,
catheterization books, journal articles, histories of medicine, etc.  The
closest I have come is from the Chief of Cardiology here, who seems to
remember that it may have been a scale developed by the French in the 19th
century, but he is not sure.

If anyone can supply me with an answer and/or a reference, I would appreciate
it.  Please email me directly.

Hi--

We're having turf discussions here centering on repairs of books and journals (
torn or loose pages, loose covers, missing pages, etc.) Everybody wants
somebody _else_ to do it. So I decided to poll the vast electronic mind of
MEDLIB-L to find out what others do. . .

1. Do libraries have one department or section responsible for repairs of all
printed materials? Or have you separated books from journals?
2. Who is responsible for requesting ILL copies of slashed pages?
3. What sort of training do you have for passing on this art? We've used the
high tech concepts of "ask her" and "figure it out for yourself" for years,
but I question the value of repairs using this technique. Is there a good
booklet or video anyone can recommend?

My electronic thanks in advance--

At the University of Cincinnati Health Sciences Library we have a
wonderful person who handles all the bindery activities, including on
the spot emergency paper repairs. Over the years she has developed an
interest in conservation techniques, has taken several workshops in
repair, and now is very competent. She looks at any damaged print item, book or
journal, decides whether to make the repairs herself, or to send to
our binder, who can do gold-plated repair work that we can hardly ever
afford, or whether to ask the binder to make an archival box for the
item if it is impossible to repair. The conservation instruction she
has received has been reinforced by our university library's excellent
in-house conservation department, who have given us supplies to get
started, and catalogues of suppliers. Having the bindery person handle
everything has worked quite well for us.

Subject:      Software for Medical Education (again) (still)

I wonder if anyone could give me an evaluation of the UMKC software
series in general, and the basic sciences software for the IBM in
particular. Are there drawings or is it just text? Basically, I'm
looking for software that covers all of the basic sciences. We have
both IBMs and Macs. I am especially interested in software that
covers pharmacology (not just one drug or class of drugs, but the
whole field). Thanks for any help.
