UCMP and the Internet help hospital libraries share resources.

The Medical Library Center of New York (MLCNY), a medical library consortium founded in 1959, has specialized in supporting resource sharing and fostering technological advances. In 1961, MLCNY developed and continues to maintain the Union Catalog of Medical Periodicals (UCMP), a resource tool including detailed data about the collections of more than 720 medical library participants. UCMP was one of the first library tools to capitalize on the benefits of computer technology and, from the beginning, invited hospital libraries to play a substantial role in its development. UCMP, beginning with products in print and later in microfiche, helped to create a new resource sharing environment. Today, UCMP continues to capitalize on new technology by providing access via the Internet and an Oracle-based search system providing subscribers with the benefits of: a database that contains serial holdings information on an issue specific level, a database that can be updated in real time, a system that provides multi-type searching and allows users to define how the results will be sorted, and an ordering function that can more precisely target libraries that have a specific issue of a medical journal. Current development of a Web-based system will ensure that UCMP continues to provide cost effective and efficient resource sharing in future years.

Maintaining a catalog of manually-indexed, clinically-oriented World Wide Web content.

With no quality controls and a highly distributed means of posting information, finding high-quality, clinically-oriented content on the World Wide Web can be difficult. Maintaining a catalog of such information can be equally challenging. CliniWeb is a catalog of quality-filtered and clinically-oriented content on the Web designed to enhance access to such information. This paper describes a group of semi-automated tools have been developed to maintain the CliniWeb database. One allows easier identification of content by utilizing Web crawling techniques from high-level pages. Another allows easier selection of content for inclusion and its indexing. A final one checks links to help keep the database current. These are augmented by general plans to adopt more detailed metadata and linkages into the medical literature.

The fleas (Siphonaptera) of South Carolina with an assessment of their vectorial importance.

We document 25 species of fleas from South Carolina including new state records for two species, the ctenophthalmids Epitedia cavernicola and Rhadinopsylla orama. Host and other collection data, by county, are provided, including many new records amassed from 1992-1998 and some older records gleaned from the Clemson University Arthropod Collection. One flea species, the rhopalopsyllid Polygenis gwyni, is especially common and widespread in South Carolina, particularly on the cotton rat (Sigmodon hispidus) in coastal plain habitats. The largest number of flea species (8) from a single host species was recorded from the cotton mouse, Peromyscus gossypinus. Several flea species of potential medical or veterinary importance were recorded, some of which are potential vectors of pathogens, such as the agents of murine typhus, murine typhus-like disease, sylvatic epidemic typhus, cat scratch disease, and rodent bartonellosis. A host-flea list for South Carolina is included.

Ticks of South Carolina (Acari: Ixodoidea).

County and host records are reported for 19 species of ticks from South Carolina: Amblyomma americanum, Amblyomma maculatum, Amblyomma tuberculatum, Aponomma latum, Boophilus annulatus, Boophilus microplus, Dermacentor albipictus, Dermacentor variablis, Haemaphysalis leporispalustris, Ixodes affinis, Ixodes brunneus, Ixodes cookei, Ixodes marxi, Ixodes minor, Ixodes scapularis, Ixodes texanus, Ixodes woodi, Rhipicephalus sanguineus, and Ornithodoros capensis. Ixodes woodi is recorded from South Carolina for the first time. Boophilus annulatus and Boophilus microplus probably no longer exist in South Carolina, and Aponomma latum is an exotic species that is not established in South Carolina. Brief notes follow each species.

CISMeF: cataloque and index of French speaking health resources.

In 1999, the Internet has become a major source of health information. The objective of CISMeF is to catalogue and index the main French-speaking sites and documents concerning health. Currently, the number of resources already totalled over 6,100 with a mean of 75 new sites each week. CISMeF contains a thematic index, including medical specialities and an alphabetic index. CISMeF uses two standard tools for organising information: the MeSH (Medical Subject Heading) thesaurus from the Medline bibliographic database (National Library of Medicine) and the Dublin Core metadata format. A brief description of the site is systematically added. CISMeF respects the Net Scoring, criteria to assess the quality of health information on the Internet. The CISMeF project fulfils a valuable tool for the French-speaking health community: 2,500 machines visit the Web site each working day.

[A catalog of mosquito species (Culicidae family) from the Asian region of Russia].

A new checklist of mosquitoes (Culicidae) recorded in the Asian part of Russia includes 79 species. The checklist is provided with taxonomic comments and compared with ones compiled by previous authors. In a comparison to the checklist of Kukharchuk (1980) including 73 species, 10 species are added into the present checklist and 6 species mentioned by this author are excluded, as far they were not actually found in Asian part of Russia. The names of 9 species are chanced according to the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (1966). In the checklist of Stojanovich and Scott (1995) including 64 species, 5 species were included erraneously and 21 species were missed. The classification and valid species names are listed according to the Catalog of the Mosquitoes of the World (Knight, Stone, 1977) and its supplements (Knight, 1978; Ward, 1984, 1992; Gaffigan, Ward, 1985), except 5 species. These species (Aedes implicatus, Ae. esoensis, Ae. rossicus, Ae. albescens, Ae. subdiversus) are considered in the comments to the checklist.

Frederick Knox, younger brother and assistant of Dr Robert Knox: his contribution to "Knox's Catalogues".

Analysis of the material written in the two manuscript volumes known as the "Old" and "New" Knox Catalogues has revealed that most of their contents are in the hand of Frederick Knox, younger brother of Dr Robert Knox. Frederick was employed by Dr Knox as his research assistant, and prepared detailed lists of the items in his brother's museum collection. He also dissected and prepared human and non-human specimens, many of which were described by Dr Knox in his numerous publications. As relatively little is known about Frederick Knox, this seemed a timely opportunity to evaluate his contribution to Knox's anatomy class in the extra-mural school. When in due course Dr Knox's success as a teacher of anatomy gradually declined, he decided to leave Edinburgh to pursue his career in London. It was at about this time that his brother Frederick also decided to leave Edinburgh to establish a new career for himself in the Antipodes. The present whereabouts of the majority of Knox's enormous teaching collection of anatomical preparations and his comparative anatomy collection are unknown, and suggestions are made as to their possible whereabouts.
