Faxon Finder/Faxon Xpress: report from a beta test site.

In this environment of expanding information needs, spiraling journal costs, and curtailed financial resources, medical libraries must take advantage of the rapid evolution in document delivery services. There are exciting developments in transmission technology, from fax machines to scanners to the Internet. There is also a notable shift away from the traditional reliance on library networks toward use of commercial vendors as document providers. These changes require reevaluation of interlibrary loan (ILL) and document delivery systems on many levels, including pricing structures, work flow, and impact on collection development. As commercial vendors develop increasingly effective products, librarians can test, evaluate, and incorporate them into their ILL operations to enhance service to users and relieve the pressure to acquire new resources; in this way, librarians can move from the "just in case" practice of building an on-site collection to the "just in time" model of providing timely delivery of materials to users as needed. This paper describes a beta test of the Faxon Finder/Faxon Xpress table of contents and document delivery services conducted by the Treadwell Library of the Massachusetts General Hospital.

Identification of an American hiker.

The skeletonized remains of an American hitch-hiker were recovered from a forest near Knysna in the Cape. There were no recognizable features except the presence of dental restorations. The use of the "fax" to transmit dental records while being a speedy means of communication does have its limitations. Electrical faults on the telephone line can cause the document to become illegible and subsequent duplication of this document aggravates the problem. An appeal is made to standardize the notation of teeth by using the FDI code and to adopt a 2 digit code for restoration morphology.

Meeting the urgency for document delivery in clinical medicine.

A Document Delivery library project was designed to improve delivery of information to health professionals in the Washington DC/Baltimore area. The project goals were to enhance delivery of full text documents and accelerate interlibrary loan services. The aim was to provide direct library services in the clinical arena by facilitating access to the articles needed by practitioners and clinical investigators. The objectives were to (1) design, develop and implement a comprehensive Document Delivery System (DDS) for the Library Information System (LIS) which included interlibrary loan, photocopy services and facsimile transmission capabilities; (2) establish a multi-university Library Knowledge Network for resource sharing; and (3) evaluate the project. The DDS and facsimile service are described and project data and outcomes are reported. Today, the participating libraries can use electronic means to share interlibrary loans. Georgetown users have responded favorably to the DDS and Fax services.

[Evaluation of image quality of medical facsimile as a radiological image recording system].

We examined the usefulness of a new medical facsimile (MFAX) system in recording and transmitting various kinds of medical images, including X-ray images and colored histopathologic images. The system consists of an image scanner, a magnetic disk for image storage, a transmission circuit and a thermal image printer. Transmission time for a FCR (Fuji computed radiography) image by super-fine mode was 6 minutes. We used ROC (receiver operating characteristics) curves to evaluate the ability of eight radiologists to detect the small simulated nodules placed on an anthropomorphic chest phantom and shown on MFAX images. The radiologists observed both the FCR films and MFAX copies and determined the presence or absence of simulated nodules using five confidence levels. The results obtained for FCR films and MFAX images showed no statistically significant difference.

Facsimile transmissions.

Some provincial regulators of nursing are setting out professional standards for the use of facsimile transmissions. While the facsimile machine is a tool that can improve client care through the timely, accurate transmission of vital information, nurses should recognize the potential hazards. Clear policies and procedures for the usage and management of facsimile transmissions are necessary to ensure that legal and professional standards are met.
