Subject: Einige nuetzliche Informationen (long)
Liebe Medibibler!
Heute eine etwas laengere Liste. Es hatte sich zwischendurch einiges
angesammelt...
Die Nr.5 "Internet Success Stories" eignen sich gut zur Rechtfertigung des
Internet-Gebrauchs. Das neue Internetbuch, in dem sie enthalten sind, ist
ueber gopher marketplace.com teilweise als postscript-Datei erhaeltlich.
Schoenes Wochenende!

I received a couple of responses from my inquiry re: full-text sources on
Health & related subjects. Let me share them with you. BTW, I included
who contributed the information and at the end of the list are their
complete email addresses (in case you want to contact them.. *wink*).
Internet Reference List
* the Lee Hancock's Guide to Internet Health Sciences. This is a list of
health related listservs, etc. via the 'net. You can obtain it via
anonymous ftp from ftp.sura.net in the pub/nic directory. It is in a
file called medical.resources.xx-xx (the xx-xx is the date of the
latest update). (fr Carolyn & Linda)
* The following is the gopher bookmark of medical electronic journals
including mmwr, etc. You may find more when you gopher into this
address.
#
Type=1
Name=medical
Path=1/e-serials/general/science/medical
Host=gopher.cic.net
Port=70
URL: gopher://gopher.cic.net:70/11/e-serials/general/science/medical
(fr Jie Li)
* The Medical List from Dr. Gary Malet. You can aftp to "ftp2.cc.ukans.edu",
go to /pub/hmatrix then download the file "medlst994.txt" (d'latest).
The list is arranged by subject not by type of service.
(my contribution, which actually
came from a friend in the net)
CD-ROM Sources
* the Health and Drug Information Library is a new CD-ROM due for release in
early September from SilverPlatter. It covers approximately 1400 topics
in full text. It does require windows as it is produced on Hyperwriter
and includes graphics. (this will sell for $1295 a year)
* the Health Reference Center from Information Access which sells for around
$5000 a year (?).
* Ebsco has a couple of CD-ROM full text products ... details not available.
* the Mayo Clinic Family Health Book and a couple of other titles from the
Mayo Clinic. They are designed to be used by the consumer at home but are
less than $100 each so, if you need inexpensive products, these might be
worth looking at. (fr. Carolyn Ruby)
* the Adonis is a full text database that covers a large number of journals
in the biomedical sciences. It requres a microcomputer, jukebox CD-ROM
drives, and a laser printer. Updates are received weekly, there is a simple
search capability to retrieve citations, and output is good.
The only problem is the #15,000 about a year subscription (for current
year only) and the fact that it is strong on research publications,
but omits many clinical journals which are usually needed in hospitals
and clinical academic setting. The only subscription in Georgia is at
the Morehouse School of Medicine so you might want to contact them
about their experience.
The other problem is that while you can read at no charge, everytime
you print an article there is.
CDs for FULL TEXT BOOKS and JOURNALS on specific subjects
* Ref-stat has a great many books (including Merck Manual, Physicians
Generix, the ones we got) on disc...not too expensive. They will let
you preview the materials.
* Also the American Psychiatric Association has added its books and
journals on a single disc....about #2,500.00 per year...they will not
let you preview.
* Lippincott has a cancer disc with PDQ and Devita..other things...and
is getting into the full text business.
* BPO from Univ. Microfilms is good for health administration, but it is
a business database, and would not be justified in a health setting.

Medical Matrix is a hypertext, Internet-linked database of
electronic resources dealing with clinical medicine. Medical Matrix
categorizes resources by disease, specialty, and other interest
areas. It gives text descriptions of medical mailing lists, FTP
sites, and WWW resources. It spotlights the more developed
programs, and gives news and backround on Internet medical resource
development. Medical Matrix is designed to offer a "home page" for
a physician's or healthworker's desktop computer. It uses Mosaic's
hot spots, icons, and keyword searches to locate on-line medical
resources easily.
Medical Matrix is an "open" project of the Internet Working Group of
the Amercian Medical Informatics Association. Users are encouraged
to contribute to the "Matrix" project and the Working Group by
subscribing to its mailing list MMatrix-L.
Medical Matrix is available in text form as "The Medical List"
from the Univ. of Michigan Clearinghouse of Subject Oriented
Internet Guides at URL:gopher://una.hh.lib.umich.edu/11/inetdirs.

Some time ago Karen G. Schneider, the Electronic
Resources Librarian at Newark Public Library, gave
me permission to include some selected examples
from her "22 Internet Success Stories" listserv survey
in a chapter I was writing for a McGraw-Hill
book, _The Internet for Everyone, A Guide for
Users and Providers_.
The book has just been published, and so a number of
you who contributed to Karen's first compilation can
look for your contributions in chapter 17,
"Mining the Internet: A Librarian's Perspective."
I hope you will enjoy seeing your names in ink.
Thanks to Karen and to all of you who shared your
Internet experiences. Book information follows
(note that some chapters are freely-available via
WWW and Gopher):

I should add that the Success Stories will soon be available on
a World Wide Web Home Page--coming soon to a Web browser near YOU.
They are also available from

resource
And I will also mail copies to the URL-impaired. Watch also for the
fall Stories. I would add that as much as I love to earn a dollar, the
Success Stories are my major "public-domain" effort and wi stafreely
available as long as I'm breathing.
