Centralized automated cataloging of health science materials in the MLC/SUNY/OCLC shared cataloging service.

Since February 1976, The Medical Library Center of New York, with the assistance of the SUNY/OCLC Network, has offered, on a subscription basis, a centralized automated cataloging service to health science libraries in the greater metropolitan New York area. By using workforms and prints of OCLC record (amended by the subscribing participants), technical services personnel at the center have fed cataloging data, via a CRT terminal, into the OCLC system, which provides (1) catalog cards, received in computer filing order; (2) book card, spine, and pocket labels; (3) accessions lists; and (4) data for eventual production of book catalogs and union catalogs. The experience of the center in the development, implementation, operation, and budgeting of its shared cataloging service is discussed.

Reclassification in a small decentralized medical library.

This study describes procedures and indentifies problems in the reclassification of a small medical school library collection that is decentralized into five locations in three different communities. A total of 9,915 monographic titles (14,911 volumes) were reclassified in a nine-month period. The reclassification staff consisted of one professional, two nonprofessionals, and one partime student assistant.

A family medicine research library.

A family medicine research library can be a useful tool for conducting and teaching research methodology and data analysis. This paper lists 100 research books for family medicine collected from a questionnaire given to participants at the North American Primary Care Research Group (NAPCRG) annual meeting and a panel of experts in epidemiology and biostatistics. The areas (and number of books) include: general epidemiology (12), case control studies (3), clinical trials (3), experimental design (6), surveys (6), sampling and subject recruitment (5), measurement, scales and indices (10), family assessment and measurement (3), writing, publishing and presenting research (5), reading and reviewing the literature (5), statistics (19), coding and classification (5), and other books (18). Acquisition of a research library can facilitate family medicine research.

The development and classification of anomalies of the limbs in the human.

It is stressed that more detailed and more precise information concerning the human limb is available than is found in even the most recent books on the development of the vertebrate limb. The classifications of limb anomalies are multiplying but are not necessarily becoming better. In addition to continued vigilance concerning possible teratogens, the most valuable approach in the human is the superimposition of genetic data (where they exist) onto a detailed classification based on sound morphology and current principles of anatomical terminology.

A suggested expansion of the NLM classification scheme for dentistry.

The National Library of Medicine Classification is excellent for the shelf arrangement of books in a medical library. However, it is too general for a very specialized dental collection such as ours at Northwestern University Dental School Library. We suggest an expansion of the WU category based on the pattern followed in other areas of the NLM classification. An index for the expanded scheme is included.

Evaluation of a Diagnostic Encyclopedia Workstation for ovarian pathology.

The Diagnostic Encyclopedia Workstation (DEW) is a computer system that provides completely integrated pictorial and textual information as reference knowledge in the field of ovarian pathology. The textual component comprises information per diagnosis such as descriptions of macroscopic and microscopic images, clinical signs, and prognosis. In addition, the system offers lists of differential diagnoses and criteria to differentiate among lists of differential diagnoses and criteria to differentiate among them. The present study evaluates to what extent the system influences the diagnostic process in efficiency and outcome. Therefore, two groups of six pathologists each, covering a wide spectrum of experience in ovarian pathology, participated in the evaluation of the DEW. The quality of the resulting diagnoses was statistically analyzed with the Wilcoxon rank sum test with respect to five different viewpoints: classification, morphology, clinical consequences, duration of diagnostic process, and consensus among the participants. The results are discussed and it is concluded that classification and morphology showed better results when books were used. The evaluation experiment was, however, very rigid and negatively biased with respect to the DEW system. Positive aspects of the encyclopedia are the easy access to diagnostic and differential diagnostic information and the large set of illustrations. Insight is acquired with respect to existing bottlenecks and how they may be overcome.

[Headache: interdisciplinary cooperation].

Tendency towards subspecialization in medicine, especially in medical literature, endangers the patient who does not fit in one of the specialities. Hence he may be treated badly or not at all. Headache forms an interdisciplinary meeting point and shows this in high grade. Four following reviews of books on headache will demonstrate it. Each of it claims a good deal of competence and authority. In itself however the four books are widely contradictory. Our concept of multidimensional classification in headache builds up a planned polypragmasy using target symptoms. This is an attempt to evade such dilemma. Further seems to be needed: better knowledge of the marginal territories in our specialization, closer interdisciplinary cooperation and maybe a new organisation of medical system.

Tumors of the meninges: proposed modifications of the World Health Organization classification.

The present WHO classification of meningiomas has served us well. In keeping with the adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it," alterations should be made with due caution. These proposed modifications of the WHO classification are prompted by advances in our understanding of the pathobiology of meningeal neoplasms, as well as a need for an orderly scheme based upon factors of clinical importance. The author is well aware, that given the vastly differing technologies available to those utilizing the "blue book," its application must have a basis in routine histology rather than in "high-tech" procedures. No classification is ideal, but the modifications suggested represent a compromise between the pathologist's need for a complete morphologic exposition and the clinician's desire for a concise classification of therapeutic and prognostic significance.

[The origins of the Brno School of Pharmacy and the development of pharmaceutical chemistry as an important discipline].

After the foundation of the course of pharmaceutical studies at Masaryk University in Brno in 1945, its Institute of Pharmaceutical Chemistry has been founded. In pharmaceutical chemistry, which was divided into the theoretical, synthetic and control-analytical parts, a system of classification was worked out based on classification of drugs according to the kind of effect for which it serves. This conception was incorporated into three editions of the book Chemická léciva (Chemical Drugs). The research programme of the Institute solved the development of novel local anaesthetic and antituberculous agents. After the disestablishment of the Faculty of Pharmacy in Brno, the development of pharmaceutical chemistry, continued at the Department of Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Comenius University, Bratislava, and beginning with 1969 at Charles University Faculty of Pharmacy in Hradec Králové.
