[Possibilities for gathering environmental information for training environmental medicine specialists].

In the context of continuing medical education, colleagues frequently face new professional topics. Advanced questions have to be clarified often to realize new skills. Beside the "conservative" information options like journals, literature searches in libraries and questioning colleagues, the "progressive" information procurement via CD ROM or the Internet is a comprehensive option to clarify certain questions quickly.

[Computer-assisted medical education].

The article evaluates the multimedia titles offer for IBM PC compatible computers for medicine teaching in comparison with the other titles serving mostly as information source for postgraduate studies. The author explains common forms and functions used for comfortable information exploitation. The conclusion is that the year 1995 in the break point in the computer assisted medicine teaching and now some disciplines can use tenths of programs already.

[Role of the multimedia technology in the evolution of learning of endonasal surgery of the sinuses].

The functional endonasal sinus surgery makes great strides. In the meantime learning the surgical techniques can be difficult. A learning curve describes the evolution in mastering the surgical steps by the analysis of the number of complications. This means that each learning step presents specific risks. An interactive training system with multimedia technology has been developed to diminish the complication rate. This system is presented briefly. In our view it allows an improvement of the training of ENT surgeons. It permits the visualized reproduction of difficult surgical steps as a base to master then. We propose a plan for progressive learning including this technology.

List update processing (LUP)--solving the sequence database update problem.

Sequence databases of today require frequent updating. Mirror procedures to copy incrementally updated databases as cumulative sets are the preferred method and can be implemented by straightforward scripting. However, limited bandwidth of networks and the increase of data require more powerful paradigms to reduce the workload reliably. We suggest the List Update Processing (LUP) principle. The system has been implemented on an experimental basis to update the Swiss EMBnet Node (BioComputing Basel, CH) with data from the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL Outstation, Hinxton Hall, UK). The results obtained from the prototype suggest to expand the system to several sites.

Information-seeking behavior of health sciences faculty: the impact of new information technologies.

This paper reports on an ongoing investigation into health sciences faculty's information-seeking behavior, including their use of new information technologies. A survey was administered to all faculty in medicine, nursing, and pharmacy at the University of Illinois at Chicago. It was similar to one administered to the same population in 1991. The survey asked about faculty's use of electronic resources, documented any shift from the use of print to electronic formats, and measured the utilization of library training. The response rate was 48.5% for medicine faculty, 45.0% for nursing, and 62.5% for pharmacy. The study found that use of the print Index Medicus among faculty was in transition: While 30.5% continued to use the print resources, 68.0% of faculty accessed MEDLINE through electronic means. Faculty preferred accessing electronic databases from their offices to doing so from the library. Health sciences faculty used a wide variety of databases, in addition to MEDLINE, to fill their information needs. Most faculty did not take advantage of either in-house or electronic training sessions offered by librarians. The study concluded that the training preferences of faculty need to be further explored.
