I think that the main reason that smaller consortia (pl?) exist is that a
great number of tiny hospital and nursing libraries do not have access to
the wide (expensive) world of DOCLINE, OCLC and the like. I even know of one
facility that is not a member of PBHSL (a one time $25 fee) because of the
expense!            
On a related note, the library I am in , while it has access to DOCLINE,
INTERNET, PBHSL, NLM etc., still does most of its ILL through the small
local group, the Pittsburgh-East Hospital Library Cooperative. Mostly it
is a matter of need- very rarely is there something I need that can't be
found among our local bunch. It could be that there is a psychological 
need to work with a small known quantity as opposed to a large unknown one.
Needlessly analytical, I know :-)

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

The Yadkin Valley Consortium consists of 7 hospitals, 2 community
colleges and 1 mental health center.  The fees use a complicated
formula based on number of services used, hospital staff and the consortium
budget.  The annual fees range from $10,000 to $1,800, with an average
fee of about $6500.  For this each participating hospital gets a table of
 contents
contents sevice, literature searches, circuit visits, cataloging and free
sharing of resources among the 4 consortia that make up the NWAHEC.  The
AHEC supports half of the annual budget for the consortium, while the fees make
 up
the other half.

Organization: Tufts University - Medford, MA
Originator: news@jade.tufts.edu

Dear List:
I am not a member of this list I am just here to ask your advice, so please
respond to me directly.

The question is what to do with a collection from a library that is closing?
I work for a small hospital library and we are merging with another hospital.
All our collection will not be going to the new hospital, So.... what
do I do with it?  We concentrate on ob/gyn.  I did read the article in
Medical Reference Services about places that send to overseas locations.
I would be happy to do that ,but I wonder who else is out there besides
the 5 that they listed.  I think we could send to a u.s. address without
too much of a problem.  I know not to send out of date material, but we have
bound journals back to the 50's and I hate to put them in a dumpster.
I also know that there is  serials exchange list, so I will try to post there.

Any advice given will be gratefully recieved.

Thank you

Subject:      Don't Look Now

Last week I received a pamphlet-size catalog from the American Hospital
Association.  The front of it is marked "Health Care Information: Data
Products from the American Hospital Association".  Inside are ads for
the Hospital Literature Index (paper), Guide to the Health Care Field
(in paper and on diskette), the Directory of Health Care Professionals,
and Hospital Statistics (in paper and on diskette).

Also inside is an order form with the above items pre-printed on it.
Or at least it LOOKS like an order form.  It actually has these words
printed at the top: "Data Order Agreement".  You guessed it!  There is
also a place for the signature of the person placing the order, who
"understands the conditions of the data agreements, as stated on the
reverse of this form, and agrees to abide by same."  Additionally it
states that ALL orders must contain a signature that acknowledges
acceptance of the "conditions".

On the back of the form are the "Terms and Conditions".  Libraries are
not specifically mentioned.  The buyer is referred to as "the Licensee".
The Licensee agrees, among other things, "to hold the data in strict
confidence and agrees not to provide, disclose, or otherwise make
available any data to any third party, including but not limited to
subsidiary and parent corporations, and that in no event shall licensee
release data which might reasonably be used to identify any particular
institution without the prior express written permission of AHA and of
such institution.  Notwithstanding the foregoing...licensee shall be
permitted to disclose and extend use of such data to its employees,
agents, and consultants whose assigned duties reasonably require such
disclosure and use...Licensee will take appropriate measures by
instruction, agreement or otherwise, to ensure compliance with this
and other provisions of this Agreement...".  The agreement goes on to
say that the AHA can give the licensee 30 days notice in which to
produce "all records and documents necessary to verify compliance"
with the terms of the agreement.

This agreement is not nearly as restrictive and pointed at libraries
as the AMA's is for their Directory of Physicians, but I don't recall
ever having to sign such an agreement in order to purchase the print
version of the Hospital Literature Index.  Furthermore, what "records
and documents" must a library keep in order to verify that it is
complying with the terms of the agreement?

I called AHA and was told that the agreement was primarily to protect
their electronic data products and not their print products.  If this
is true, then why require the signature for print products?  Does any
one have any experience with the AHA on this issue?

Subject:      RE: secretaries using Grateful Med
X-To:         MEDLIB-L@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

Much of the discussion in this thread seems to revolve around end-user
versus intermediary searching. I believe the original question had
nothing to do with secretaries doing searches for their own information,
but rather with secretaries functioning as intermediary searchers for
doctors. There is a difference.

In the years before we had a CD-PLUS system, I gladly ran searches for
any hospital employee. I still do for any employee who does not want
to be a a "do-it-yourself searcher". (They like that term better than
"end-user".) What I do NOT do is a reference interview by proxy. If
an administrator's secretary or a doctor's secretary calls me to request
a search for that administrator or doctor, I ask to speak to the person
who wants the information. I have found ways to do that with all due
respect to everyone involved. Usually, asking the secretary a few
standard interview questions meant to produce more information about the
request does the trick. Sometimes, I explain that I don't take requests
by proxy because of the "Whisper Down the Lane" or "Something Gets Lost
in the Translation" effect. Sometimes I mention that I trust the caller,
but have made errors in the past by not interviewing the person who wants
the information. (That's the Truth!). I've considered, but never had to
say to a doctor,"You don't examine your patients by proxy, do you?"

I can remember only one doctor and one administrator who objected to this
practice; both are now among my most frequent and most satisfied clients.

I'm currently president of a very successful consortium that has existed
for almost 20 years.  It is called the Association of Memphis Area Health
Science Libraries and includes academic, hospital and corporate libraries
in Memphis and west Tennessee.  We're proud that we charge no dues.  The
consortium was begun with the help of the old Southeastern Regional Medical
Library Program and has functioned happily ever since.  We sponsor CE
courses, give each other free interlibrary loans, act as a welcoming
committee/support group for new health science librarians in the area,
and participate in community projects with the idea of good PR.  We meet
monthly except for July and August, usually at lunch time, but 3 or 4
times a year in the evening.

We certainly don't try to replace OCLC or the regional libraries.  Our
intent is to help each other and encourage professional development of
our members.
