We are testing with a relatively fast 386 with Windows, but only a 2400bps
modem, and  can see its the modem that makes it very slow.  We are
hoping the Internet connection (yet to come) will help.

Subject:      Interactive videodiscs

Our library is planning to add interactive videodiscs
within the next year. I'd appreciate advice on
getting started, especially on:

1. Hardware recommendations. We want a system that will
run many commercially available programs.

2. ImageDisc Library videodiscs from Image Premastering
Software. How are you using some of these programs, and
what do you think of their quality?

3. Recommendations for interactive videodiscs on human
anatomy.

Thanks in advance.

Subject:      OJCCT Policies for Access, etc.
X-To:         MEDLIB-L@UBVM.CC.BUFFALO.EDU

          Would appreciate hearing from other libraries who have
          already established some policies for use of OJCCT in their
          libraries.  The proposed guidelines distributed by Tom
          Flemming in February were very helpful, but I would be
          interested in getting information now that it is actually
          being used in libraries.

          How is this new journal being publicized?

          Are specific departments being notified when an article
          is published of revelance?

          Is the library ordering photocopies from OCLC or letting
          patrons choose?

          Is the online connection limited to library staff or
          extended to patrons?

          Are patrons being charged for any or all of the following:
               1) telecommunications
               2) printing
               3) downloading
               4) photocopy of articles ordered by library

          Will ILLs be accepted from outside institutions?


          Thank you.

Subject:      RE: secretaries using Grateful Med

We need more research on the effectiveness of end-user searching, comparison
across groups, comparison of subject specialists and non-subject specialists,
comparison of those with formal training and informal training, ... .  I'm
sure NLM would fund a well-prepared proposal.  We could figure out how to
obtain a large-enough sample by using participants from all of our institutions.
We'd need to figure out how to evaluate not only quantitatively but qualitativel
y.  We'd need to come up with not only precision and recall measurements, but
appropriateness of database chosen, of limits, of additional resources ...
even the appropriateness of doing a literature search when a reference text
would be better or cheaper.  And speaking of cheaper -- how about cost studies?
Do librarians perform better searches at a better price than either secretaries
or physicians?  I'm betting that most of us charge a flat-fee for searches and
absorb at least half the cost of a search.  Physicians and secretaries would
need to figure out not only the cost of searching, but the cost of their time.
Add $7-$10 per hour for every search a secretary performs?  Still, our time
is valuable as well and it may be cheaper to teach secretaries to do simple
searches rather than doing them ourselves. Only good reseaarch will answer
the questions about end-user searching.

Subject:      Computer training in FP residency - a request
X-To:         MedLib-L@UBVM.CC.Buffalo.Edu

Pardon me for cross posting this request.  I do not know how else to
economicaly obtain information about Departments of Family Medicine.  A
more lengthy posting with background information was sent to Fam-Med
(Computer Technology in Family Practice) and to CoCaMEd (Computers in
Canadian Medical Education).

Earlier this month, at a national meeting of family practice residents,
the residents unanimously voted to request the Residency Review Committee
(RRC) to amend the special requirements for residency training in Family
Practice.  The body asked that they be amended to include a requirement
that would ensure a minimum level of computer competency in the part of
both residents and faculty.

I would like to provide background information and program ideas to the
RRC for their discussion.  I would also like to provide a list of family
practice residency programs that have integrated medical informatics and
computer competency training in their curriculum so the committee may know
whom to contact for further information.  If you know of a program that
provides this type of training, please send me the name and address of a
contact person so I may write and request a description.  I will compile
the information and forwarded it to the committee.

If you wish further background information, send me an e-mail request and
I will send it to you directly.

Subject:      Re: FWD>AMA Directory

While I found the information on copying interesting and reassuring,
I still object to a publisher making restrictions on where I can
locate a title and how I can use it.  I, for one, don't want
50 years of AMA directories taking up valuable space in my
reference collection, nor do I want to be unable to use my own
judgment about when and how I use a title.  The publisher has
a perfect right to license his titles instead of publishing them
under the copyright law, librarians have an equal right to refuse
to sign license agreements that restrict how we provide service to
the public. It is then up to the profession to explain to the public why
we do not have these tools and hope that the combined pressure of
them and us will move the publishers to write more reasonable agree-
ments.

Subject:      Re: Nursing resources on the internet

I'm replying to James Brady's request to the entire list because there is a
routine tool available which can be used to meet similar types of requests.
With Internet/Bitnet access one can send a message to ANY site that supports
the "listserv" software, such as the "listserv@ubvm.bitnet"  The content of
that message should read LIST GLOBAL.  The response that one will receive
from that message will be a listing of ALL of the currently active lists with
a short description included.  An example cut from the list follows.

ABSTRACT         ABSTRACT@TAMVM1   LINGUIST-ABSTRACTS
ACADDR-L         ACADDR-L@MCGILL1  Academic Computing Centre Directors Forum

ACDGIS-L         ACDGIS-L@AWIIMC12 Geographische Informationssysteme

Any of these lists may be reached at the address of "listserv@xxxxx".  Some
will request registration and will request information from a potential
participant.  Most will not.  Usually, to join, one need NOT include a
subject with the message, but the message should read SUBSCRIBE THIS-L YOUR
NAME.  There should be a response message within several hours as the
OUTPUT OF YOUR JOB which should contain the information that you've been
added to the list.

                        WINDING YOUR WAY THROUGH DNA

"Winding Your Way Through DNA" is an exciting adventure in public
education being held in San Francisco on September 25 and 26, 1992.  The
day-and-a-half symposium features the world's top scientists and experts
discussing the history and technology, its applications in medicine and
agriculture and the ethical and societal ramifications of DNA technology
-- in terminology we all can understand.  It is being presented by the
University of California, San Francisco School of Medicine with the San
Francisco Exploratorium.

Speakers and session hosts include Nobel Laureates James D. Watson, the
co-discoverer of the double-helix shape of DNA, Paul Berg, Leon Lederman
and Harold Varmus; Herbert W. Boyer and  Stanley N. Cophen, whose
innovative DNA cloning led to the birth of genetic engineering; Eric
Lander, an expert on the use of DNA in forensics; Donald Kennedy who
will address issues of regulation; and many more speakers.

Because of the overwhelming interest expressed by hospital and
biotechnology industry employees, high school and college students and
teachers and a very interested public, the symposium is now available
for viewing live via satellite transmission.  If your facility is
interested in learning more about receiving the symposium, please
contact Katherine Riordan at 415/476-6714, or by FAX at 415/476-4099.

If you are interested in purchasing a set of videotapes of the
symposium, please contact Ms. Riordan at the above numbers.

          The Index Section at NLM asks:

          Do librarians (or their clients) want to have cell lines and
          cultured cells indexed with HUMAN or ANIMAL + the animal
          species?

          At present, NLM only picks up the organism if the article
          indicates that the identity of the organism has an impact
          on the results.  For those cell lines for which there are
          MeSH headings, e.g. CHO CELLS, HELA CELLS, KB CELLS
          indexers are supposed to coordinate with the organism all
          the time.  Should we extend this rule to cell lines that
          are not yet MeSH headings?  If the source is not specified
          in the article, indexers do not provide it now.

          By September 15, Please send your brief written responses,
          indicating approximately the search load you represent
