NOTE: *Please* reply to the sender, *not* to the list! Thank you!

This is a brief survey of what physical resources are available for
media, multimedia, and computer-aided instruction at medical
schools. We are asking because we are beginning a renovation
and need information on comparable facilities for space planning.

Of course, we need this information as soon as possible, but
will take whatever we can get whenever we can get it!
This means if you don't know all the answers please
send us info on whatever you do know, or guess. All results
will be kept anonymous. A compiled version of the results
will be posted to the list, with gratitude.
