The Indiana Biomedical Information Program.

In 1966, the Indiana University School of Medicine Library became part of a statewide teletype network. Biomedical personnel throughout Indiana may use the resources of the Library by requesting either specific books and articles or bibliographic searches through local public libraries which relay the requests to the School of Medicine Library. All transactions except reference questions receive twenty-four-hour service. The popularity of such a facility is indicated by the fact that 472 identified borrowers used it during the twenty-five months between its inception and December 31, 1968. Over half of the borrowers have used it repeatedly, and as many as 358 transactions have occurred in a single month. The largest group of borrowers consists of practicing physicians. It is felt that the enthusiastic response to the service justifies its continuation and expansion.

PROBLEMS OF MEDICAL LIBRARIES IN JAPAN.

Reference service in medical libraries should be considered more seriously by the members of the Japan Medical Library Association, as their interest so far has been focused mainly on interlibrary loan service, compilation of union lists and union catalogs, and the business side of library administration. The Association does not have enough funds to be very active, and its membership is limited to the libraries of medical and of some large dental schools. It should open its membership to other medical libraries, such as those of hospitals and medical laboratories, and eventually to individuals. Many of the member libraries do not have complete control of their own budget, as each department of the school earmarks part of its budget for the library while it still holds the right of deciding which books and journals are to be bought and keeps a large part of them in its departmental library. Lack of proper library school education among the library staff is one of the major problems. There are some training courses for medical librarians in the library schools and also some workshops held by the Association, but they are limited in their usefulness by the fact that there are not enough library school graduates who can take advantage of them.

The library in medical education.

The process of training medical students must involve the acquisition of knowledge directly from their teachers and from learning resources. The organization and accessibility of materials in a medical library make it an invaluable instructional tool within the Learning Resources System. Most medical schools have omitted the incorporation of library training from their curricula. To correct this anomaly, it is being suggested that a programme of library training be commenced by medical school libraries. Such a programme must comprise instructions in the use of the library, in bibliographic methods and "hands-on' exercises. A practical design is suggested and a method of evaluating the programme should be designed to provide information about its usefulness to the students before it is finally incorporated into the curriculum.

The biomedical communications network.

The Biomedical Communications Network (BCN) is the embodiment of the plans of the National Library of Medicine to provide improved information, document, and education services to the health community. The BCN also will be the "core" public service network to ensure the most expeditious delivery of health information and education products to a selected public. As such, utilization of communications satellites as well as other more common forms of telecommunications are planned. The library component of the Network will provide decentralized library services to medical libraries, medical schools, hospitals, MEDLARS Centers, local medical centers and individual medical practitioners. These decentralized services will be provided through an information network with its hub at the Bethesda, Maryland site of the NLM. The NLM intends that the library services network be a controlled rather than a permissive system. This simply implies that participation and access to the services of the system will be determined by the NLM. Planning has already progressed to the point where services to be provided can be enumerated.

On-line intergrated library system: bibliographic access and control system of Washington University School of Medicine.

The on-line integrated library system is a relatively simple and logical concept. The perception that many library functions can be incorporated within one system, using a single data base, has led a number of practitioners to independently develop such systems. This paper describes the Bibliographic Access and Control System (BACS), developed by the Washington University School of Medicine Library, and identifies some of the underlying principles, components, and capabilities of this system from the vantage point of operational experience over one year.

An experimental study of the feasibility of substituting Chemical Abstracts on-line for the printed copy in a medium-sized medical library.

The reference staff of the Washington University School of Medicine Library, in an attempt to consider an alternative way of providing the information contained in the printed Chemical Abstracts, designed a study to examine whether the on-line version of Chemical Abstracts could be substituted for the hard copy. For a thirteen-week period, all patrons using the printed index were offered a free computer search of Chemical Abstracts in exchange for evaluating the searches. Only 39.6% of those offered a free search chose to do so. Of these patrons, 62% still planned to refer to the abstracts later, which are only available in the printed index. The hypothesis that the on-line version could be substituted for the printed index was not confirmed.

SOURCE MATERIALS AND THE LIBRARY: THE DISPERSION OF THE BEAUMONT PAPERS.

The author discusses the confusion, attributable to misleading references, which long obscured the location of the main portion of the William Beaumont papers. The collection was previously thought to be in the National Library of Medicine, but it is actually housed in the Washington University School of Medicine Library. This has been clarified by the discovery of a series of previously unpublished letters of Sir William Osler, as well as by other newly found materials. The history of the Washington University School of Medicine Library is reviewed, and the facts relating to the disposition of the Beaumont collection in that library rather than the National Library of Medicine are told. Also considered are some of the problems which the dispersion of documentary source materials creates for the scholar. With the Beaumont papers as a case in point, various locations of such materials are cited, and their contents briefly noted.

[Modern referral-information service in the Central Medical Library of the University of Zagreb Medical School].

New technologies in information and retrieval services of the Central Medical Library are presented, as well as comparison between traditional search of biomedical literature and search of biomedical bases available on CD-ROM and on-line. MeSH thesaurus represents the basis for all modes of searches, either through published indexes (Index Medicus, Biomedicina Iugoslavica), searches through on-line, or via CD-ROM technology. Experience in indexing according to MeSH structure helps us to search and retrieve biomedical literature on new media too. Great interest in new media for search and retrieval of biomedical literature among our users (100%) justifies their introduction into the Library. In the period of four months, 75% of our users chose CD-ROM technology in their search, 25% chose on-line search, and both technologies were combined by 33% of the users. Having these new media in our library we have reached the point from which we join the world biomedical information network and successfully meet the growing need for information in the field of biomedicine.
