Teaching medical professionals to retrieve and manage medical information.

Popularity of the personal computer has prompted physician interest in direct access to the medical literature from sophisticated electronic data retrieval systems. This paper describes the educational programs developed by the library at the George Washington University Medical Center in response to this interest and growing national trend. As a result of these programs, the role of the librarian has changed permanently. Librarians are now perceived by faculty as educational specialists and information consultants. The evolution in libraries parallels the technological changes taking place in other biomedical communications units. The authors recommend the positive outcomes from adapting traditional roles to meet user's needs in a changing environment.

Regulation of epitectin production in a malignant cell line.

RT112 cells, a line derived from a human bladder carcinoma, produce epitectin at very low levels in standard culture media; but production and secretion of this mucin are greatly increased when the cells are exposed to hyperosmotic conditions. It appears that hyperosmolarity, by inducing an increase in intracellular sodium, entrains an increase in intracellular free calcium. Evidence is presented for the view that it is the increase in intracellular free calcium that provides the more direct stimulus for the enhanced production of epitectin.

Automation of internal library operations in academic health sciences libraries: a state of the art report.

A survey of automated records management in the United States and Canada was developed to identify existing on-line library systems and technical expertise. Follow-up interviews were conducted with ten libraries. Tables compare the features and availability of four main frame and four minicomputer systems. Results showed: a trend toward vendor-supplied systems; little coordination of efforts among schools; current system developments generally on a universitywide basis; and the importance of having the cooperation of campus computer facilities to the success of automation efforts.
