The study was limited to the hospitals with libraries for staff in Riyadh, the capital of Saudi Arabia. The data were collected through questionnaires sent to a sample of fifteen hospitals with medical libraries. Twelve libraries responded.

Reusable graphical interface to genome information resources.

This paper describes a prototype genome display and query system for the World Wide Web, which could play the role of a graphical interactive gateway to online genome information services. It provides a uniform interface to display mapping and sequencing data for the human, mouse and yeast genomes and could be easily extended to accommodate more information as it becomes available. This system uses a Java applet, DerBrowser, for delivering interactive content to an end user. The architecture and functionality of this applet are described, with respect to views of both users and data providers.

Bioethics in the medical subspecialty literature.

We have previously reported that a smaller percentage of the surgical literature than the medical literature is devoted to bioethics, and that this difference is statistically significant. In order to determine: 1) whether the medical subspecialty literature is more akin, in terms of its quantitative bioethics content, to the surgical or to the medical literature, and 2) whether differences exist between the "invasive" and the "noninvasive" medical subspecialties in terms of their quantitative bioethics content, we conducted a computerized search of the MEDLINE database. The journals searched were selected from the "Medicine", "Surgery", and "Cardiovascular System" sections of the "Brandon-Hill List", and the search was limited to the 1994 issues of these journals. From the 15 medical journals searched, 331 out of a total of 10,578 bibliographic records indexed dealt with bioethics, while from the 12 surgical journals searched only 14 out of a total of 3990 bibliographic records indexed dealt with bioethics. From the 26 medical subspecialty journals searched (14 "invasive" and 12 "noninvasive"), 38 (20 "invasive", 18 "noninvasive") out of a total of 12,733 bibliographic records indexed (5745 in the "invasive" literature, 6988 in the "non-invasive" literature) dealt with bioethics. We conclude that there is a statistically significant difference (p < 0.001) between the general medical literature and the medical subspecialty literature in terms of their quantitative bioethics content, that there is no such difference between the surgical literature and the medical subspecialty literature, and that no statistically significant difference exists between the "invasive" and the "noninvasive" medical subspecialties in terms of their quantitative bioethics content.

The Virtual Hospital: experiences in creating and sustaining a digital library.

A university and its faculty encompass a wealth of content, which is often freely supplied to commercial publishers who profit from it. Emerging digital library technology holds promise for allowing the creation of digital libraries and digital presses that can allow faculty and universities to bypass commercial publishers, retain control of their content, and distribute it directly to users, allowing the university and faculty to better serve their constituencies. The purpose of this paper is to show how this can be done. A methodology for overcoming the technical, social, political, and economic barriers involved in creating, distributing and organizing a digital library was developed, implemented, and refined over seven years. Over the seven years, 120 textbooks and booklets were placed in the Virtual Hospital digital library, from 159 authors in twenty-nine departments and four colleges at The University of Iowa. The digital library received extensive use by individuals around the world. A new paradigm for academic publishing was created, involving a university and faculty owned peer reviewed digital press implemented using digital library technology. The concept has been embraced by The University of Iowa, and it has pledged to sustain the digital press in order to allow. The University of Iowa to fulfill its mission of creating, organizing, and disseminating information better.
