Subject: Re: Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials
The Oxford Database of Perinatal Trials is no longer available and has not
been updated in several years. It was published by Oxford Electronic Press.
The book versions are still available and an update to the books is due out
soon.
The ODPT has been superseded by the Cochrane Collaboration's Pregnancy and
Childbirth Database. The NA distributor is: Canadian Perinatal Clinical
Trials Network of Quebec, Hopital St-Francois D'Assise, 10 rue de l'Espinay,

Subject: Sigmund Freud anecdote source/psychoanalysis listserv
Sigmund Freud Anecdote Source/psychoanalysis listserv
1. A patron has checked the standard Freud biographies with no luck to
find the source for the following anecdote:
In either a meeting setting or with a group of friends Freud was smoking
a cigar, and was known for being something of a chain cigar smoker. One
of the persons present asked Freud if this habit of his was a reflection
of Freud's never having left his 'oral' phase. Freud then said "There
are times when a cigar is just a cigar" or words to that effect. The
patron is looking for a reference to substantiate that Freud made such a
comment.
2. If you don't have a citation for this anecdote but do know of a
listserv for psychoanalysis/Freud studies, that would also be a valuable
piece of information.
Many thanks.

CALL FOR PAPERS
International Symposium on
Health Information Management Research

Organised by:
Centre for Health Information Management Research,
The University of Sheffield
The aim of the symposium is to bring together people who are currently
carrying out research in the general area of health information management.
A key feature of the symposium will be its interactive nature, with time for
discussion of topics of interest.
Topics identified for paper submission should report on health information
management research in areas including, but not limited to the following:
Policies, strategies and initiatives
Planning and provision
Systems and services
Primary and community care
Inter-agency communication
Voluntary agencies
Data protection and confidentiality
Medical records
Training
Submission of papers
Contributors are required to submit an extended abstract (between 1000 and
1500 words) in English. Abstracts will be refereed by a panel chaired by
Professor Tom Wilson, Director of the Centre for Health Information Management
Research. Each abstract should contain sufficient detail to permit reviewers to
judge its suitability, and should be accompanied by a covering letter stating the
abstract title, authors (including the name of the contact person), address,
telephone number, and if available, fax number and e-mail address for the
contact person. Authors whose abstracts are accepted will be invited to develop
the abstracts into full papers of not more than 5000 words in length for
presentation at the symposium. It is intended that the proceedings will be
published, and that the symposium will become a regular event.
Submitted papers should not be simultaneously submitted elsewhere, or have
been previously published.
Posters
Contributors are encouraged to submit reports on work in progress in the poster
sessions, which provide an informal forum for introducing work in its early
stages. Poster sessions provide an opportunity for researchers to gain
feedback and make contact with interested parties. Poster sessions do not
involve a formal presentation. Poster proposals should include a description
(between 300 and 500 words) in English of the problem area, the work being
carried out, and why this work is important. Proposals should be accompanied
by a covering letter stating the poster title, authors (including the name of the
contact person), address, telephone number, and if available, fax
number and -mail address for the contact person.
Workshops
Workshops provide participants with the opportunity to meet and discuss
selected topics in an informal atmosphere designed to encourage discussion
and active exchange of ideas between researchers and practitioners.
Workshop proposals should include a clear description of the workshop
topic / objectives, the intended audience, the proposed length (in hours), an
abstract (between 300 and 500 words), an outline of the content, and a
