The use of jargon in medical school libraries.

The public services divisions of forty-seven medical school libraries participated in a survey to document jargon used by library staff and users in referring to information sources in the health sciences. The survey yielded 624 unique instances of jargon, 54% of which were acronyms of initialisms. Examples of problems created by the use of jargon are given and the importance of the librarian as a facilitator of communication, even in the presence of automated information systems, is discussed. Implications of the study for novice librarians are suggested. The body of jargon appears to serve as an effective cross-professions communications device.

Interlibrary loan of audiovisual materials in the health sciences: how a system operates in New Jersey.

An audiovisual loan program developed by the library of the College of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey is described. This program, supported by an NLM grant, has circulated audiovisual software from CMDNJ to libraries since 1974. Project experiences and statistics reflect the great demand for audiovisuals by health science libraries and demonstrate that a borrowing system following the pattern of traditional interlibrary loan can operate effectively and efficiently to serve these needs.

Effects of peptides on animal and human behavior: a review of studies published in the first twenty years of the journal Peptides.

This review catalogs effects of peptides on various aspects of animal and human behavior as published in the journal Peptides in its first twenty years. Topics covered include: activity levels, addiction behavior, ingestive behaviors, learning and memory-based behaviors, nociceptive behaviors, social and sexual behavior, and stereotyped and other behaviors. There are separate tables for these behaviors and a short introduction for each section.

Ambulatory morning report: can it prepare residents for the American Board of Internal Medicine Examination?

We assessed the ability of a novel ambulatory morning report format to expose internal medicine residents to the breadth of topics covered by the American Board of Internal Medicine (ABIM) exam. Cases were selected by the Ambulatory Assistant Chief Residents and recorded in a logbook to limit duplication. We conducted a retrospective review of 406 cases discussed from July 1998 to July 2000 and cataloged each according to the primary content area. The percentage of cases in each area accurately reflected that covered by the ABIM exam, with little redundancy or over-selection of esoteric diseases. Our data suggest that a general medicine clinic is capable of exposing house staff to the wide breadth of internal medicine topics previously thought to be unique to subspecialty clinics.

Patenting genes. J. Craig Venter and the Human Genome Project.

He often begins to answer before you have finished asking your question, but his replies are to the point. He speaks with emotion about the people he hopes to help, particularly children with fatal genetic diseases. 'I prefer to do something: the outcome of doing nothing is perfectly clear', he says. He began sequencing human genes while others were discussing how and when to do so. His methods have been called inelegant, redundant, wasteful, and too 'industrial'. Will his method fail to detect some infrequently transcribed genes? That's all right with him. He is not concerned with finding all the human genes, but rather with the fastest possible route to a useful catalog of most human genes.

A two-phased model for library instruction.

This article describes two methods of library orientation and instruction: self-paced audiotapes and computer-assisted instruction (CAI). The tapes are used to orient the user to the libraries' physical facilities, policies, services, and tools, while CAI is used to provide detailed library information in an interactive mode.

Topics in library technology: copying techniques.

Photocopying applications in the library include the combining of previously separate material, the separation of a single item into two or more of its parts, and the selection of parts of existent material by the use of overlays. The production of catalog cards, the creation of sheet material (new book lists, reference bibliographies) from card-form materials, an Index Medicus-derived alerting service, and overdue notices copied from charge cards are among the applications exemplifying these general types. Larger-scale operations employing microfilm are noted. The distinction between copying and printing, in the light of equipment advances, is discussed.

Availability of the HRSA competitive grants preview--HRSA. General notice.

HRSA announces the availability of the HRSA Competitive Grants Preview publication for Fall 1997. This edition of the Preview is a comprehensive review of HRSA's Fiscal Year 1998 programs. The purpose of the Preview is to provide the general public with a single source of program and application information related to the Agency's annual grant planning review. The Preview is designed to replace multiple Federal Register notices which traditionally advertised the availability of HRSA's discretionary funds for its various programs. In this edition of the Preview, HRSA's programs which provide funding for loan repayments and scholarships to individuals have been included in the section "Additional HRSA Programs." It should be noted that other program initiatives responsive to new or emerging issues in the health care area and unanticipated at the time of publication of the Preview, may be advertised through the Federal Register mechanism from time-to-time. Deadlines or other requirements appearing in the Federal Register are not changed by this notice. The Preview contains a description of competitive and additional programs scheduled for review in Fiscal Year 1998 and includes instructions on how to access the Agency for information and receive application kits for all programs announced. Specifically, the following information is included in the Preview: Program Title, Legislative Authority, Purpose, Eligibility, Estimated Amount of Competition, Estimated Number of Awards, Funding Priorities and/or Preferences, Projected Award Date, Application Deadline, Application Kit Availability, Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance (CFDA) program identification number, and programmatic contact.

[Fifty year's career of Chinese Journal of Medical History].

The Journal of Medical History, the antecedent of the now Chinese Journal of Medical History, was inaugurated in March 1947. This paper divides the whole course of publication and compilation of this Journal into 3 stages, namely, Stage of Initiation and Growth (1947-1948), Stage of Tortuous Progressing (1951-1959), Stage of Flourishing and developing (1980-). Altogether 25 volumes, 95 issues have been published in 953 millon Chinese characters and 1684 original articles. Being a highly effective major journal of medical history, this Journal satisfies nearly 40% of the information in this subject and has been indexed by major medical cataloging tool books, both domestic and foreign. Experience and prospects are also mentioned here.
