Subject: Maillist digest 16.-28.9.
Liebe Medibibler!
Meine Bitte um Mithilfe war kaum verklungen, da trudelten auch schon die
ersten Mails fuer die Aufgabe ein, bestimmte Maillisten "abzuhoeren". Alle
von mir vorgeschlagenen Listen sind nun in kompetenten Haenden "unter Dach
und Fach". An dieser Stelle noch einmal vielen herzlichen Dank an die
selbstlosen Helfer!
Und schon komme ich mit einer neuen Bitte, ermutigt durch die positive
Erstresonanz :-) :
Was war Ihnen in Heidelberg aufgefallen, wichtig, mitteilenswert,
verbesserungswuerdig, "merkwuerdig", ... erschienen?
Wir in Muenster (und anderswo) moechten gerne von Ihnen lernen!
Mit seperater Post moechte ich Ihnen diese Woche noch als erstes Bonmot von
Heidelberg die Vortraege von Frau Eckes und mir schicken.
Der Vortrag von Herrn Korwitz ueber den Fernleihverkehr der ZB MED - er
untersuchte in gewohnt akribischer Art und Weise, welche Bibliotheken mit
welchen Titeln die ZB MED letztes Jahr besonders belastet hatten und stellte
die sich aufdraengende Frage in den Raum, ob man der Ueberlastung der ZB MED
durch "dezentrale" Neuabos bestimmter Titel abhelfen koenne (Antwort: die
FL-Bestellungen verteilen sich nicht auf einige wenige Titel, diese streuen
zudem von Jahr zu Jahr so stark, dass es sich wohl nicht rechnen wuerde).
Dieser Artikel wurde im Juniheft des Bibliotheksdienst veroeffentlicht und
steht leider nicht als file fuer MEDIBIB-L zur Verfuegung.
O.Obst
Der heutige "Readers"-Digest:
1 2 interessante Artikel
2 Encyclopedia Britannica per WWW + Geld
3 WWW-homepage fuer Listservs (Inhaltsverzeichnis fuer Diskussionsrunden)
4 Medizin, Computer, Privacy, Ethik: Dokumente per ftp
5 Neue Liste : Physical Rehabilitation
6 HealthLink-Zeitschrift nun auch "online"
7 Ueber Gopher: Bibliothekshumor (Gibt's den ueberhaupt?)
8 Windows help file fuer Internetrecherchen (wir haben leider kein Windows,
aber jeder, der obiges implementiert, moege mir ueber Erfolg/Misserfolg
berichten.)

Subject: LISTSERV list information home page
I've set up a World Wide Web home page for LISTSERV lists. It
features handy "reference" pages with lists grouped along
certain topics, as well as a host of other information, such as
how to join, the # of members, whether the archives are open,
etc. I'm posting this announcement here because the www site
has a page for Health and Medecine.
Its URL is "http://www.clark.net/pub/listserv/listserv.html"
Use Mosaic, Lynx, WWW, Cello, etc. to view it.
LISTSERV lists for the following topics are represented:
Agriculture, Anthropology, Apple Computer, Art, Biology &
Chemistry, Business, Computers, Curricula, Database, Ecology,
Education, Food, Graphics, History, IBM, Internet & Bitnet, Law,
Library, Literature & Writing, Mathematics, Medicine, Music, PC
Software, Physics, Psychology & Philosophy, Religion, Science,
Teaching Institutions, Technology, Unix, and VMS & VM.
Here is what a typical entry looks like:
> Group name: FOODWINE
> Description: Discussion List for Food and Wine
> Members: 444
> Archive searching: for members only
> Who can join: anyone
> Country: USA
> Site: Central Michigan University, Mt. Pleasant, MI 48859
> Computerized administrator: listserv@cmuvm.csv.cmich.edu
> Human administrator: foodwine-request@cmuvm.csv.cmich.edu
> To send mail to the group write to: foodwine@cmuvm.csv.cmich.edu
Write to me if you'd like more information.

Subject: Help File Tour of the Internet
Message-ID: <199409260309.XAA27509@nysernet.ORG>
As net mania struck down here in Florida my library got swamped
with requests for Internet information. One method we used to
meet the demand was to develop a Windows Help File tour of the
Internet. The file works like any help file in the Microsoft
Windows environment, and contains hypertext links that let
readers jump from topic to topic. The file's primary audience
are PC users who have yet to experience the Internet.
It's been pretty popular, and we've been giving patrons free
disks with the file (we found a source for diskettes at ten cents
each.) I'm not sure if the file is ready for "prime time," but
it is now available via anonymous ftp from the Tampa Bay Library
Consortium at snoopy.tblc.lib.fl.us.
I'd appreciate any ideas for improving the file, and if any of
you are interested in learning how to make help files contact me.
It's not too hard to do.
Because we had a person who was going to use the file for money
making purposes we resorted to reserving rights to the disk- not
that it's spectacular but the idea was to provide FREE
information. We would be extremely flattered if anyone out there
wants to duplicate the disk for non-profit purposes.
Thanks-
