Using EPIC to search the OCLC Online Union Catalog in a health sciences library.

EPIC is a service that provides keyword or subject access to the OCLC Online Union Catalog (OLUC). This capability increases the success rate for title location as well as the potential uses of the OLUC. The features of the EPIC system, application of these features to the OLUC, and specific uses in health sciences libraries are described in this article.

Addressing the issue of cataloging and making chiropractic literature accessible: Part I: Defining the problem.

Health science journals are a principle source of new knowledge for chiropractors, chiropractic faculty and students. Regrettably, clinically or educationally relevant articles (appearing in the nearly 20,000 journals annually) are often overlooked due to access difficulties. Innovations are needed to assist the reader to select articles relevant to chiropractic and reduce the time spent sorting through the volumes of literature. A review of the literature shows there is a trend toward database management for cataloging and accessibility of other, nonchiropractic, literature. Most notable of these is an endeavor by National Technical Information Service, commonly referred to as MEDLARS (Medline). It is interesting to note that a computer-assisted library database program does not exist on any chiropractic campus. This is in contrast with the trend on campuses of other health care fields. Manual search strategies within the chiropractic literature are time consuming, subject to a high failure rate, and even if the search produces citations, there is no assurance the journal can be accessed unless a chiropractic campus is nearby. Furthermore, difficulties exist when a chiropractic literature search is attempted in any computerized database, e.g., MEDLARS (Medline). Journals/articles that are unique to chiropractic (national, international or on the state level) are not specifically included in these computerized databases. Aside from these difficulties, there exists the problem of finding those articles that contain valid and relevant information from among those that are less valid or informative.

Audiovisuals and non-print learning resources in a health sciences library.

The MD undergraduate program at McMaster University, based entirely on self-instruction, requires the provision of all kinds of learning resources. How these are assembled and made available is described. Emphasis is placed on the practical library problems of cataloging, shelving, maintenance, and distribution of audiovisual materials including pathology specimens and 'problem boxes' as well as the more usual films, videotapes and slide/tape sets. Evaluation is discussed briefly.

How to plan and produce your laboratory test catalog.

Creating the lab catalog is a multi-disciplinary crash course in laboratory science, writing, publishing, marketing, business administration, and graphic design. These eight steps will take you from start to finish in completing a showcase catalog.

Visual elements in flight simulation.

Flight simulators have been in use for many years and their value has been amply proven. Many of today's simulators are very expensive, but they can pay for themselves by decreasing cost and increasing safety in training pilots to fly complex and expensive modern aircraft. Some aspects of aircraft control depend on an exterior view from the aircraft to the outside visual world. Training in these aspects of flight in a simulator requires simulation of the visual world to the extent that cues derived from it need to be employed by the pilot. A number of maneuvers cannot be performed without direct visual contact under normal circumstances in commercial as well as in military aviation. The importance of including a simulation of the external world is not acknowledged. Unfortunately, there is currently no solid scientific basis for cataloging visual cues with respect to their importance in aircraft control. This report recommends research topics, techniques, and strategies that should receive more attention.
