Subject:      Name of a Movie

I am working on a project to reveal the power of e-mail.  I want to use
an example.  It is a movie by Whoopie.  She was a bank clerk in that
movie and accidentally picked up the signal from a spy from former
East Germany on her terminal in the bank.  She helped the American
spy who was trapped in the former East Germnay successfully through
the frequent, simutaneous e-mail communication.  I would like to
know the name of that movie. If anyone, by chance, know, please
e-mail it to me at IH87@vaxb.acs.unt.edu.  Thanks in advance.

Apart from this, there are *real* medical images (for the Macintosh) available
by ftp from: mac.archive.umich.edu

I believe there are also some radiological images on wuarchive.wustl edu

Subject:      AMA DIRECTORY LICENSE

Colleagues--

Some time ago I recall a number of comments concerning the AMA Directory of
Phyicisians licensing agreement.  I also recall that one or two messages
seemed authoritative and actually interpreted the agreement.  I believe
these comments came from someone at MLA, NLM, or the AMA.

Question:  In reading over the compact disk license agreement, it appears
that the DOP database could be used by librarians but only to answer
single reference questions--that is, it could not be used if the user
thought the request may lead to abuse, such as compiling a database or
mailing list.  I believe it stated in no uncertain terms that the public may
not have access at an unsupervised PAC.  If anyone is privy to the correct
interpretation, I'd be very appreciative, if you would update me.

Along the same line--if I read the MICROMEDEX DRUGDEX licensing language
appears to say that a librarian could not use it to, for example,
print out single USP DI vol. 2 drug info leaflets for a patron.
Is this interpretation correct?

Lastly, thank you to all who provided an address for the CD-PLUS list.

Subject:      Informatics Training at Oregon Health Sciences Univ.

The Biomedical Information Communication Center (BICC) of Oregon Health
Sciences University (OHSU)  is recruiting applicants for its National Library
of Medicine-sponsored predoctoral and postdoctoral training program in medical
informatics.  With eight appointed and seven additional adjunct faculty, two
current fellows, and a 74,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art building, the BICC is
one of the country's leading institutions in medical informatics research.
OHSU has a major commitment to rural health education and outreach, and the
BICC's mission to connect electronically 5,000 Oregon health professionals on
the nations first statewide network by the year 2000 will provide unique
opportunities for informatics fellows.

The program will train physicians, librarians, computer scientists, and others
who are committed to a career in medical informatics.  The program has as its
focus end-user informatics, with areas of concentration that include:

          Design and delivery of information resources and knowledge bases
          Organization and representation of health information
          Information retrieval
          Design and construction of health professionals workstations
          Health outcomes research
          Image analysis
          Administrative informatics
          Informatics training and education

The primary focus of the program will be to provide a structured research
experience in one or two of the above areas.  Trainees will survey the field
broadly during their two to three year fellowship.
They will be expected to complete research projects during their fellowships,
and upon completion of their training be able to describe their results
clearly in both oral and written form.  Trainees will be in an excellent
position to direct research efforts at medical centers that actively embrace
the Integrated Advanced Information Management Systems (IAIMS) agenda.

The program offers a graduate degree through its affiliated schools.
Qualifications for postdoctoral applicants include an M.D. (residency training
preferred) or a Ph.D. in biological science.  Predoctoral applicants must also
apply for admission to one of the graduate programs at OHSU, Portland State
University, Oregon State University, or the University of Oregon.

Subject:      Re: HANDLING OJCCT IN THE LIBRARY
              Nov 4, 92 11:30 am

At the University of Pittsburgh, we are taking a low key approach
until the Internet graphics version is available.  We have mounted
OJCCT on a computer in the Reference Area (with a 2400 baud modem).
We do not have a spare printer to dedicate to it, and have decided to
hold paper copies of the main articles for the time being.  Their
quality is excellent, and the only laser printers in the area are used
heavily for MEDLINE searchers who would not appreciate people printing
off entire articles.

The journal itself is being announced in a library newsletter that
will go out next week.  We have no plans to announce individual
articles, but expect to rely on secondary services to do that.  If
MEDLINE doesn't pick OJCCT up soon, we might rethink that.  So far,
demand has been minimal.  We will be monitoring communications costs
and have turned off the downloading capability.

We plan to reconsider everything when the Internet version becomes
available.

Judy Barnes, librarian at Lansing General Hospital, has developed templates
for Nutplus which integrate patron record database, book database, serials,
and audiovisual database.  All of the library's functions: overdues,
circulation, ordering, etc.  are integrated.  There is also remote dial up

locking us out.  I also didn't discover any way to prevent the user from
order unlimited reprints.  These seem to be problems for a public station,

Subject:      Re: medical images

While they are more in the field of organic chemistry than anatomy,
which the original requester specified, here are a number of DNA /
RNA / protein sequence images that are very interesting.   The
images are part of a set made available to the public by Dr. Richard
Hallick from the University of Arizona, Macintosh only, and already
include some animation -- rotation of molecules.  You will need a
copy of Stuffit (or some other utility) to process these compressed
files.

Procedure, assuming UNIX or Ultrix available:
============================================

FTP to joplin.biosci.arizona.edu

cd /pub/MacMolecule
        [note: CASE sensitive!]
binary
        [note: Binary images & programs, stored in bin hex format]
mget *.*
        [note: retrieves the following files:
                macmolecule-images1.5.sea.hqx
                macmolecule-movies.sea.hqx
                macmolecule1.7.sea.hqx       ]
quit
        [note: to exit from FTP]

Use Stuffit's BinHex decode function to fix files with the .hqx
extension -- produces new items with fuzzy icons.  Click on fuzzy
icon to start automatic decompression.  Feel free to write me if it
gets exciting, although I'll be gone all of next week....Mari

Sorry for the message problem.  Here is the full text and stated
clearly.

Direct Costs:
$7.80 per hour connect charges
$3.00 per offline print article and Postage
$1.50 per downloaded article
$95 per year subscription cost

Indirect costs include
staff time (not a quick program to teach)
            billing
modem
computer
paper
telephone lines

We have found that there is not a high degree of use, except when
outside sources eg local newpaper described an article on this
journal.  Biosis citations have not generated any inquiries.
Hopefully medline will generate interest and use when indexes.

I taught one class on this product.  We are working on increasing
publicity.  Currently keep a list of articles at the reference
desk, to assist our users in document delivery, so don't spend 13
cents per minute on verification.

Reasons for not having a public terminal include:
program is too slow at 2400 baud
Library budget can't support unlimited use and we lack an
effective system to monitor and charge back to users
Training problems

Hope this information is helpful.  I will mail Renee a copy of
our internal documents we developed in our work with this
program.

Duplication of postings:  If you are not sure whether
you have correctly sent a message to MEDLIB-L, please
either contact me or wait a few hours to see
if you receive a copy of the message from the list.
All MEDLIB-L subscribers do not receive the distributed
messages immediately.  It can take a bit of time for a
message to be routed through BITNET.  And some local
e-mail systems seem to have delays of their own...
If you're in doubt, ask me -  I'll be glad to help!
