I also owe a special debt of gratitude to Vivian (Jenny) Jacobson for
her assistance in putting together this edition.  At her suggestion we
put the this list into a database format of her design.  She also was
also of a tremendous assistance in getting this information into the
database.  The ascii output is still a little rough, but by the next
update I should have the report bugs out.  So please try to ignore any
format errors this time.  Around midnight I start missing details.

       Description: 
                This is a discussion list concerning the topic of  
                Biomedical Ethics. Since the field of medicine and  
                medical technology are rapidly changing and the  
                field is so broad, it is difficult to have clearly  
                delineated rules as to what should and should not  
                be  discussed.   Possible topics for this list  
                might include: paternalism, fetal cell transplant,  
                the right to die, AIDS, suicide, patient autonomy,  
                abortion, drug legalization, euthanasia, respirator  
                withdrawal, transplants,  allocation of scarce  
                resources and many others too numerous to list  
                here.  The discussions may be ethical,  
                philosophical, religious, political, social or  
                even, in some cases, personal.  Open discussion,  
                disagreement, and dissent is encouraged.  Open  
                flames are most certainly NOT.

                about computers and health.  Anecdotal evidence,  
                media reports, and some formal studies suggest that  
                computer users are at risk from misuse and overuse  
                of computers.  Eyestrain, headache, carpal tunnel  
                syndrome, and other apparently computer-related  
                maladies are increasing.  And it would appear that  
                many institutions have been slow to respond with  
                education, training, office and lab design, etc.

       Description: 
                 This list concerns Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.  The  
                discussions seek to serve the needs of persons with  
                chronic fatigue syndrome by enabling a broad range  
                of CFS-related topics.  Subscription is open and  
                the list is unmoderated.  Please note that any  
                advice which may be given on this list regarding  
                diagnoses or treatments, etc., reflects only the  
                opinion of the individual posting the message;   
                people with CFS ought to consult with a licensed  
                health care practitioner who is familiar with the  
                syndrome. 

                CFS is an illness characterized by debilitating  
                fatigue and a variety  of  flu-like symptoms.    
                The condition is  also  known  as  chronic   
                fatigue immune deficiency syndrome (CFIDS),   
                myalgic encephalomyelitis  (ME) and by  other  
                names, and in the past has been known as chronic  
                Epstein-Barr virus (CEBV).

       Description: 
                CMTS-L, Chemical Management and Tracking Systems,  
                is a discussion group focused on the formation of a  
                chemical management and tracking system at Cornell  
                University.  CMTS- L will also act as a forum at the  
                international level for the exchange of ideas         
                concerning the efforts at various eudcational and     
                commercial organizations engaged in the establishment 
                of chemical management and tracking systems. 

                There are many of us attempting to design, fund and  
                implement chemical inventory and tracking systems,  
                waste management systems, chemical  
                recycling/exchange lists and other applications of  
                computers to chemical management.  The idea for  
                this new list arose during the 11th Annual College  
                Hazardous Waste Conference held at Stanford last  
                month.  It was apparent that many individuals at  
                numerous institutions were working on various  
                aspects of this problem, along with the regulatory  
                problems associated with research scale use of  
                chemicals and the resulting chemical waste at  
                educational and research institutions. 

                Hopefully, this list will allow us to work together  
                to solve some common problems associated with the  
                large scale introduction of computerized chemical  
                management systems.  Any information or threads of  
                conversations related to the topics described above  
                are acceptable for posting to CMTS-L.

       Description: 
                The CYSTIC-L discussion group will focus on the  
                holistic impact of cystic fibrosis.  While much of  
                the list will be devoted to discussions of new  
                medical advances as well as possible therapeutic  
                and nutritional treatments, the list should also  
                have a less rigorous side to it. 

                It will also be a forum for CF patients to vent  
                about frustrating encounters with the medical- 
                industrial complex, to discuss ways of countering  
                bias that might exist in job or school-related  
                activities, and just to talk in general about the  
                myriad of factors that make our lives quite  
                different from those with functional chloride  

                If you forward this on to a list that might like to  
                know about it, please contact the owner, below, to  
                avoid over-reproduction.  Of course, passing this

       Name: ELDERS 
       Description: 
                An Elders list has been set up at St Johns  
                University in New York developed for the creation  
                of projects, for discussion of social and political  
                issues, finding new friends and for elders to act  
                as electronic grandparents and elder mentors.   

                Our membership consists of elders - those over 55  
                years of age - from a wide range of backgrounds,  
                but with a common purpose - a place where  
                knowledgeable people can reach others and where  
                anyone with questions can write for relevant  
                information.

                Elder Centre 
                An Elder Centre is in the process of development on  
                a Unibase system at St Johns where anyone can  
                search the library, use as a post office, lecture  
                hall or chat area.  

                Gopher 
                A Resource Centre for elders is being developed on  
                a gopher where information on organisations,  
                agencies, etc. will be stored and retrieved.  St.  
                Johns University is the home of a series of lists  
                devoted to education for everyone.  An ever  
                increasing library has been built on many topics on  
                St Johns' gopher.

       Description: 
                US Dept of HHS: Reducing Internal Regulation. 
                The list includes those staff persons within the  
                U.S. Department of Health and Human (HHS) who are  
                participating in a Department-wide effort to reduce  
                internal regulations.  Internal regulations or  
                controls are rules imposed on HHS organizations,  
                their managers, or staff that require approval of  
                plans or activities, or provide detailed guidance  
                on how to do something, or require  detailed  
                reporting on their activities. 

                This control reduction effort is part of the  
                Department's  Continuous Improvement Process  
                established in mid-1993 National Performance Review  
                and to identify other ways to improve all  
                Departmental activities.  The National Performance  
                Review and President Clinton's Executive Order on  
                internal regulation requires that Federal agencies  
                reduce these regulations by 50 percent by September  
                1996. 

                The purpose of the list is to provide a means for  
                communcicating proposals and developments related  
                to the effort to regulation reduction effort.  This  
                is one of a number of activities within the  
                Department whose purpose it is to implement and  
                build upon the recommendations of the National  
                Perfornamce Review recommendations.  Other  
                activities may also have established lists.

                health surveillance, reports on conferences and  
                symposia are especially welcomed. Discussions  
                related to specific cases should be approached  
                within the limits of diagnostic medicine and  
                restrict discussions of therapy or treatments.

       Description: 
                The  NYS  Dept of Health's mission to safeguard the  
                health of the citizens of NY  has necessitated the  
                collection a wide variety of data from the Local  
                Health Units. Efforts are underway to find ways to  
                make the  process  simpler  and more efficient.   
                Some of the ways that have supply PC applications  
                having uniform  user interfaces,  and  improve  
                delivery  of  information electronically.  It is  
                the goal of this list to open up a convenient   
                channel  for members  to  openly discuss the  
                problem  even  though  we are spread out across the  
                entire state  and have very busy schedules. 

                Some  of the subscribers to the list are from Local  
                Health Units, members of various  divisions in the  
                Health Department who collect the data and members  
                of Information  Systems  and  Health  Statistics   
                who manage  the  Healthcom  computer network.  The  
                LHU-L  list's  success depends  on the free  
                exchange  of ideas,  questions, answers, problems  
                and solutions.  Please feel free to join and  
                contribute.

                This interest group seeks to identify, share, and  
                discuss research findings relevant to public policy  
                on disability (both physical and cognitive), aging  
                and long-term care.  The group is interested in the  
                characteristics of long term care systems,  
                including eligibility for services, participation  
                rates, socio-economic status of participants,  
                organizational and financial arrangements, service  
                use, and costs.  An area of major emphasis is how  
                changes in public policy would affect programs  
                (e.g. Medicare, Medicaid, Older Americans Act)  
                benefitting frail elderly and other  experience of

       Name: MOBILITY 
       Description: 
                MOBILITY is a list to help disabled persons gain  
                access and mobility.     Topics for discussion  
                include the following: 
                just access to  Public transportation.  It is also  
                our ability to get around using wheelchairs, and  
                our own cars or vans. 

                   2. Mobility also means communications.  What  
                about cell phones?  I am presently trying to get  
                NYNEX to start a special Emergency Life Line Mobile  
                Service for those Cell Subscribers who have special  
                parking permits or handicapped mass transit ID  
                cards.  Or whose doctor say a cell phone might be  
                needed for the disabled person's health and  
                safety.  This will give these disabled persons the  
                safety and ability to use a cell phone at a vastly  
                reduced rate, giving them quick and efficient  
                emergency communications if their motorized  
                wheelchair or car or van breaks down. 

                   3. Mobility will also be discussed as it relates  
                to socializing and dating. 

                   4. And we will also be discussing education and  
                employment and how it relates to mobility. 

                   5. Finally, you will help us with your views and  
                news on mobility.

       Description: 
                The OMERACT list is focused on Outcome Measures in  
                Rheumatoid Arthritis Clinical Trials. 
                Target group: rheumatologists, methodologists,  
                physicians involved in drug regulation, physicians  
                in industry. 
                Purpose: to stimulate discussions around themes  
                related to Outcome Measures in Rheumatoid Arthritis  
                Clinical Trials. These discussions have been the  
                focus of several conferences: The name OMERACT was  
                coined for such a conference in Maastricht, The  
                Netherlands in 1992. 

                Topics discussed include: 

                *  Validation of outcome measures in the WHO/ILAR  
                core set; 
                *  Use of indices (aggregate measures) in trials; 
                *  Discussion of new measures such as utilities and  
                psychosocial measures; (economic and toxicity).  

                Although the main focus is on Rheumatoid Arthritis,  
                discussions on other disease (groups) are also  
                welcome, e.g.  Osteoarthritis.

       Description: 
                Population Biology is a synthesis of population  
                ecology and population genetics, pursuing a unified  
                theory to explain the structure, functioning and  
                evolution of populations of living beings.  Such  
                populations are very complex systems, exhibiting a  
                variety of phenomena that we still do not master.   
                Just to quote a famous example, multiannual density  
                cycles (e.g. in lemmings) have not received a  
                satisfactory explanation, despite decades of  
                debated studies and speculations.  Population  
                Biology is a very active field, encompassing such  
                diverse approaches as tenacious, harsh field work  
                to track long term demographic and genetic  
                fluctuations, or sophisticated conversations with a  
                computer about strange attractors possibly causing  
                chaos in the density fluctuations. 

                Topics that can be discussed include: ecology,  
                population genetics, systematics, evolution,  
                morphometry, interspecific competition,  
                sociobiology, mathematical modelling, population  
                regulation, pest control, chromosomal evolution,  
                social behavior, statistical methodology in  
                population study, population management of  
                endangered species, applications of molecular  
                biology techniques, etc., and, last but not least,  
                your own topic.  There is no restriction on the  
                species: viruses, protokaryotes, plants, animals  
                (including man), mythic or extinct species,  
                computer-simulated species...  Technical problems,  
                book reviews, meeting announcements and so on are  
                also welcome.

                purpose of this listserv is to share information on  
                perinatal health data and information resources for  
                NYS, including birth and death data,  
                hospitalization data, health status measures,  
                program participation, congenital malformations  
                registry data, and data on maternal risk factors.   
                National and other-level data may also be  
                pertinent.  This listserv is one of the products  
                resulting from a RWJ Foundation-funded project to  
                improve health data for policy making.  It was  
                developed  as one way to make health data resources  
                more accessible to the health policy and research  
                community.  Many of the have been involved in this  
                project and advised on ways to improve maternal and  
                infant data.  Contributors will make some summary  
                tables available, will notify members of new  
                reports or studies that they feel will be of  
                interest, and will report on other data initiatives  
                in which they are involved or know about.

       Name: PSI-L 
       Description: 
                PSI-L is a forum for discussing experiences,  
                questions, ideas, or research having to do with psi  
                (e.g. ESP, out-of-body experiences, dream  
                experiments, and altered states of consciousness).   
                This list is mainly about the nature of psi; if  
                you're interested in debating whether psi exists,  
                this isn't the place to do it.  We're interested in  
                hearing about personal experiences, and considering  
                why and how these different phenomena happen, the  
                connections between them, how to bring them about  
                and what psychological or philosophical  
                implications they have.

       Name: PSYCHIATRY 
       Description: 
                Unmoderated discussion forum dealing with issues in  
                psychiatry and abnormal psychology. 
                This mailbase list has been set up with the aim of  
                utilizing the vast resources of the Internet on  
                behalf of everyone interested in issues in  
                psychiatry and abnormal psychology. As with any  
                discussion forum its value will be proportional to  
                the effort that those contributing to it are  
                prepared to make in provoking stimulating and  
                thoughtful debate. 

                The forum was judged to be necessary because many  
                of the findings and viewpoints in the fields of  
                psychiatry and abnormal psychology are both  
                controversial and easily misinterpreted, resulting  
                in a lack of empathy and understanding between  
                those pursuing radically different approaches to  
                the aetiology and pathophysiology of mental  
                illness. It is hoped that the forum will act as a  
                bridge between those taking a biomedical viewpoint  
                of the study and treatment of psychopathology, and  
                those taking a more existential or psychodynamic  
                viewpoint. 

                It is hoped in particular that amicable discussion  
                will encourage and support an attitude of mutual  
                respect, producing a more collaborative approach to  
                these difficult issues, so narrowing the  
                unacceptably wide gulf that now separates the  
                opposing camps. 

                All of those wishing to share personal insights,  
                research findings, philosophical outlooks, clinical  
                case notes, or simple anecdotes on any of the  
                following, are cordially invited to contribute: 

                * Methodology: clinical case histories, scientific  
                experimentation, laboratory models, statistical and

                reappraisal, or cogent exposition of your  
                speciality? If so, let us know. 

                * Assessment of contributors to the development of  
                psychology and psychiatry: Charcot, Freud, Jung,

                Rogers, Perls, Frankl, Skinner, Ellis, Laing et al.  

                The basic underlying philosophy of this forum is:  
                "There is someone wiser than any of us, and that is  
                all of us." This would also be an appropriate motto  
                for the Internet, and I would be very happy to hear  
                from anyone who would like to assist in the  
                compilation of a resource guide, register of  
                research interests, or any other such extension to  
                the services offered by this list that would be  
                productive in making it a more useful tool to the  
                subscribers.

       Description: 
                A  forum  for individuals involved in research  
                administration for discussion of a wide variety of   
                research  administration  issues including   
                changes  in  federal  regulations,  interpretation  
                and implementation  of  private  and  federal   
                sponsor regulations, indirect costs, budget caps,  
                new grant programs and anything else that  would   
                generally be of interest to research  
                administrators.  The forum is intended to give  
                research administrators  a  way  to "compare notes"  
                and to share policies, procedures and information  
                that help to get the job done in this increasingly  
                complex field.  

                Typical  members would include members of the  
                Society of Research Administration and NCURA, but  
                participation in the list would  by no means be  
                limited to members of these groups.

       Description: 
                STUT-HLP is intended to be a support list for  
                people who stutter and their families.  It is *not*  
                intended to be an academic discussion list, since  
                other lists (stutt-l stutt-x) currently exist to  
                serve that purpose.  The idea for STUT-HLP grew  
                from my observation that the current lists that are  
                available for stuttering seem to serve the needs of  
                academics rather than people who stutter.

                and other neurological impairments which currently  
                lack a forum.  We know from our own experience that  
                one of the main difficulties people dealing with  
                tbi face is that their time is mostly dominated by  
                the survivor's recovery process.  Accessing support  
                groups or networking of any kind can seem like one

       Name: TDR-SCIENTISTS 
       Description: 
                TDR stands for "UNDP/WorldBank/WHO Special  
                Programme for Research and Training in Tropical  
                Diseases".   

                The List is a cost-free media for TDR  
                Communications Unit to propagate important public  
                information texts to any e-mail users connected to  
                the Internet, with interest in TDR.  The List may  
                also serve as an informal Forum among TDR  
                scientists to exchange ideas/information which may  
                be helpful to each other.  Messages should be short  
                (Remember in some countries users are paying for e- 
                mail per every word they receive!). 
                In mid-1993 when WHO became a full Internet node, a  
                number of WHO Divisions, including TDR, started to  
                experiment with the new facilities. One of which is  
                Mail-Reflector. It enables an e-mail based  
                distribution list or discussion list. TDR- 
                SCIENTISTS List was announced in October 1993 issue  
                of TDR News.   

                This is an experimental List <TDR- 
                SCIENTISTS@who.ch>.  It is planned that sometime in  
                1994 WHO would acquire an Internet software which  
                simulates functions of Listserv (of Bitnet type).  
                Until then, a human host or two are looking after  
                the traffic. 

                FAQ: some of the Frequently Asked Questions are: 

                        Q.      Give me the list of all subscribers. 
                        A.      Please wait until the List is put  
                on a Listserv type. There are subscribers who wish  
                to remain anonymous. Listserv will take care of  
                this requirement nicely by giving a "conceal  
                option" to subscribers. 

                        Q.      If I have a question to TDR  
                officials, can I send them e-mail direct? 
                        A.      E-mail is considered by the TDR  
                secretariat as "an experimental communication mode,  
                somewhere between Voice- 
                mail and Fax". 
                All TDR professionals have an account
               <lastname@who.ch>. 
                E-mail communications from developing countries are   
               taken as a substitute of Fax, so you can send even 
                OFFICIAL notes (except of course where a signature  
                is legally required).

       Description: 
                VALIDATA is an electronic conference on topics  
                related to psychological measure development,  
                testing, and validation.  It is established to  
                provide a forum for the exchange of ideas on the  
                creation and improvement of multi-item individual  
                difference measures of unobservable psychological  
                constructs.  The discussion is essentially  
                unmoderated and the following topics are especially  
                encouraged: 

                --Uses of confirmatory factor analysis tools in  
                measure purification. 

                --Face validity opinions. 

                --Constructs in need of measurement improvement. 

                --Psychometric problems in existing scales. 

                --Techniques for improving MTMM studies. 

                Goals include advancing this area, improving  
                methodology, encouraging new scale development, and  
                improving overall value of psychological  
                measurement scales. 

                Validata announced by the Marketing Department at  
                the College of Business of Florida State University  
                through a cooperative effort with the Department of  
                Management and Marketing at the University of  
                Alabama.

       Name:  BIONET NEWS GROUPS 

       Description: 
               Unlike most Usenet newsgroups, the bionet newsgroups  
               all have gateways into non-listserver mailing lists.   
               The cross-posting of articles to more than one  
               newsgroup is discouraged, since at this time the e-mail 

               subscribers will get multiple copies of any cross- 
               posted articles.These mailing lists are administrated  
               by David Kristofferson's BIOSCI service, which is  
               funded by the US National Science Foundation for the  
               express purpose of supporting computer networking among 

               biologists.By supporting personal e-mail subscriptions  
               to the bionet newsgroups, BIOSCI has effectively formed 

               a bridge between biologists with e-mailand those with  
               Usenet (once familiar with Usenet, few people have the  
               patience for e-mail subscriptions).  David  
               Kristofferson is responsible for proposing the creation 

               of the bionet domain of Usenet and starting many of the 

               bionet newsgroups.  Requests for e-mail subscriptions  
               to bionet newsgroups are handled by biosci@net.bio.net  
               (for requests from he Americas) and  
               biosci@daresbury.ac.uk (for all others).

               E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using  
               our waismail e-mail server.  For instructions send the

               archives via WAIS and gopher are described in the  
               BIOSCI FAQ. 

              BIOSCI FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQ) SHEET 
              
               New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the  
               "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for  
               BIOSCI.  The FAQ provides details on how to participate 

               in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from 

               net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub /BIOSCI/biosci.FAQ or 

               for retrieval by gopher to net.bio.net, port 70.  It  
               may also be requested by sending e-mail to              

               biosci@net.bio.net (use plain English for your request).

               The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the
               newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following
               the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet.  A FAQ
               describing administrative details of the bionet
               newsgroups is available from biosci@net.bio.net or      

               biosci@daresbury.ac.uk, and appears regularly in the    

               bionet.announce newsgroup.  Note:  rules for forming    

               new bionet newsgroups differ somewhat from those used   

               elsewhere in Usenet. Various other FAQs dealing with    

               the interests of specific newsgroups are posted in      

               those newsgroups.  Tom Schneider's FAQ for bionet.info- 

               theory is available by anonymous ftp from ncifcrf.gov:  

               look for the file bionet.info-theory.faq in the

       Name: HSA ANALYSIS/CLINTON HEALTHPLAN 

       Description: 
         A long and detailed analysis of the Clinton Health Care  
         Security Act, prepared by Allan Bergman and Bob Griss  
         of United Cerebral Palsy Association. 

         This document reflects proposals in the September 7th  
         plan, but does not include all the changes contained in  
         the October 27th legislation. They will be revising and  
         updating the analysis in the next few weeks; however,  
         the enclosed document is 90-95% accurate. 

         This analysis is based on a preliminary draft of the 
         President's health reform proposal dated September 7,  
         1993 unless otherwise specified.  The Consortium for  
         Citizens with Disabilities (CCD) adopted five  
         principles as the basis for a disability perspective on  
         health care reform (see Appendix #1).  These are: (1)  
         non-discrimination; (2) comprehensiveness; (3)  
         appropriateness; (4) equity; and (5) efficiency. 

       Access: Available on the MCHNET gopher. Gopher address is  
               mchnet.ichp.ufl.edu.  The document is saved as

       Description: 
         The Meningitis Epidemic Case Study is a computer  
         assisted learning module developed with information  
         collected during an epidemic in Africa.  The module is  
         user friendly and users not familiar with computers  
         need only a short introduction to master the skills  
         required.  

         The module is fully described in : 
         Cuevas LE, Moody JB, Macfarlane SBJ, Rada R, Ghaoui C.  
         "The use of hypertext to demonstrate the methods of  
         investigating an epidemic of meningitis" Medical  
         Education Vol 27, pages 91-96 (1993) 

         The authors welcome comments and suggestions concerning  
         both the academic content and the hypertext features of  
         the module. Such comments can be sent by post or email  
         to the address below.  

         The aims of the module are to familiarize the user with  
         the epidemiology of epidemic bacterial meningitis in  
         Africa and to practise with a real life problem of  
         diagnosing an epidemic of bacterial meningitis with  
         limited sources of information. 

         Computer requirements 

         The system requires an IBM compatible PC with at least  
         540Kb of free RAM, a hard disk with at least 1.5 Mb  
         free space, mouse and EGA (or better) colour graphics  
         adaptor. 

         Software 

         The module was developed using the hypertext software  
         LINKWAY and the release version of the Meningitis  
         Epidemic Case Study uses a special 'read-only' module,  
         allowing applications to be freely distributed.  

         Distribution 


               epidemic.zip    - the compressed version of the  
                             module 
               epinst.bat      - the installation batch file 
               unzip.exe       - public domain uncompression  
                               software 
               README          - background information and  
                              installation instructions 

         An option within the module is to use the public domain  
         epidemiological software Epi-Info to analyse data.  
         Files containing a database of the information  
         collected about the epidemic, in Epi-Info format, are  
         copied to the Epi Info directory - assumed to be C:\EPI5 

         Epi Info is available by FTP from the SIMTEL archives at 
         oak.oakland.edu and other mirror sites in the  
         pub/statistics directory.

       Name: INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY AND DISABILITIES 

       Description: 
               _Information Technology and Disabilities_ (ISSN 1073- 
               5127) is a new, quarterly electronic journal devoted to 

               all aspects of computer use by persons with  
               disabilities. It is intended to fill a void in the  
               professional literature by bringing together articles  
               by educators (K through College), librarians, human  
               resources and rehabilitation professionals, as well as  
               campus computing and other professionals concerned with 

               the effective use of technology by people with all  
               kinds of disabilities. 

               The premier issue of _Information Technology and  
               Disabilities_ reflects the breadth of coverage that the 

               journal's editorial board plans to maintain in future  
               issues. Feature articles include a case study of an  
               accessible CD-ROM workstation at the Seattle Library  
               for the Blind, a profile of the St. John's University  
               UNIBASE system, including the many rehabilitation  
               resources housed there, and an article on the Royal  
               Society for the Blind (Australia), which provides  
               excellent screen design principles for enhanced  
               accessibility. Feature articles are supplemented by  
               news of interest to computer users with disabilities as 

               well as educators, librarians, rehabilitation and other 

               professionals interested in the uses of new and  
               emerging technologies by people with disabilities. 
       Access: The first issue of _Information Technology and 
               Disabilities_ will appear on January 15, 1994.
               Individual subscriptions are free of charge, and two

       Description: 
               The Lyme Disease Electronic Mail Network.  Subscribers  
               to LymeNet-L receive The LymeNet Newsletter  
               approximately twice a month.  This publication provides 

               readers with the latest research, treatment and  
               political news about the Lyme disease epidemic.  Lyme  
               Disease is now the fastest growing infectious disease  
               in the United States.  In 10 short years, this little  
               known bacterial infection has claimed half a million  
               victims and the number of new patients continues to  
               spiral upward with no relief in sight.  It is estimated 

               that in 1991, 100,000 Americans contracted this  
               dangerous disease.  If left untreated, LD can cause  
               permanent nerve, musculoskeletal and cardiac damage.

       Description: 
               MIDWIVES ARRIVE ON THE ELECTRONIC FRONTIER 

               Midwifery Today, a small press magazine located at 390  
               High Street, Eugene, Oregon, combines one of humanity's 

               oldest professions, midwifery, with some of today's  
               newest methods of communication and networking. In  
               January, the magazine staked its claim on the  
               electronic frontier with an account on America Online  
               and an e-mail address of Midwifery@aol.com. 

               Today, for this gives the staff another way to  
               communicate with midwives and other birth practitioners 

               around the world. Although the magazine is small, it  
               has subscribers in 20 different countries and has  
               covered midwifery in areas as diverse as Bali, Russia  
               and Japan. In addition, plans are in full swing for an  
               international Pacific Rim Conference, "Weaving a Global 

               Future," to be held in Hawaii in February 1995. 

               The international reach of internet mail is important  
               to Midwifery. Midwifery Today's electronic outreach
               extends beyond simply having an E-mail address. The
               magazine itself actively encourages midwives to use
               computers and to go online, with articles like
               "Midwifery in the Information Age," by Linda R. Barnes,
               MS, CNM,  and "PC, IBM, Mac, DOS--Making Sense of the
               Alphabet Soup,"  by Daphne Singingtree, CM, both in the
               Winter 1993 issue. An article about midwives online,
               also by Singingtree, is slated for the Spring 1994
               issue, now in production. 

               Founded in 1986, Midwifery Today, Inc. publishes a  
               quarterly magazine filled with up-to-date information  
               on the many issues surrounding birth and midwifery  
               care. Midwifery Today magazine promotes the exchange of 

               ideas and knowledge between many different kinds of  
               birth practitioners, from medical doctors to lay  
               midwives to childbirth educators. A strong editorial  
               emphasis is teaching women about alternatives in  
               pregnancy and childbirth: including a woman's right to  
               have her children where and how she chooses.

               The Bioethics Online Service is an information resource 

               of the Center for the Study of Bioethics and the Health 

               Information Technology Center (HITC) of the Medical  
               College of Wisconsin (MCW). 

               The Bioethics Online Service consists of: 

                    a. The Bioethics Database 
                    b. The Bioethics Center and Wisconsin Ethics  
               Committee Network (WECN) News and Announcements section 
                    c. The Bioethics Online E-mail Service 

               The features of the service are available for use  
               through the Internet or by accessing the Medical  
               Information Network (MIN) of the Health Information  
               Technology Center at the Medical College of Wisconsin. 
               The Bioethics Database is an update service providing  
               information on current bioethics topics, including news 

               reports, abstracts of pertinent journal articles,  
               legislative actions and court decisions, with  
               intermittent commentary.  The information is searchable 

               by key words. 

               The Bioethics Center and Wisconsin Ethics Committee  
               Network (WECN) News and Announcements section posts  
               news from the Bioethics Center, including speakers,  
               conferences, journal clubs, and other presentations. It 

               also posts news of the Wisconsin Ethics Committee  
               Network, and information about its Speakers Bureau. A  
               second feature of this section is a case discussion  
               area. 

               The Bioethics Online E-mail Service allows users to  
               send messages worldwide to those users of the Bioethics 

               Online Service who have E-mail addresses through the  
               Medical College of Wisconsin or have Internet  
               addresses. You must have an Outreach Account or a Post  
               Account through the Medical College of Wisconsin, or  
               have an Internet address to be able to utilize the  
               Bioethics Online E-mail Service. 

               2. BIOETHICS ONLINE SERVICE DATABASE INSTRUCTIONS: 

               Using the Bioethics Database gopher: 

               The Bioethics Database menu has several numbered  
               options.  Select an option with the up/down arrow keys  
               and <return>.  Note that each menu entry ends with a  
               special symbol.  These symbols identify each menu entry 

               as follows: 

               /          Item is a directory 
               .          Item is a text file 
               <?>        Item is a search index 
               <CSO>      Item is a CSO phone book 
               <TEL>      Item is a telnet session 
               <)         Item is a sound (looks like a speaker) 

               By noting the symbols at the end of each entry you will 

               know what to expect when selecting a given menu  
               choice.  For example, if the menu entry you select ends 

               with a "/", you will see another directory of choices;  
               if it is a ".", a text file is  presented; etc.   
               (Note:  The Bioethics Database does not support <CSO>   
               or <) entries.) 

               After viewing a text file, you have the option of  
               saving it to a file, printing it, or sending it to  
               someone's mailbox (Note: MIN users without accounts are 

               only provided the mail option).  All printing occurs  
               remotely at the ITS (Information Technology Systems)  
               computer room.  Please do not print files unless you  
               are a local MCW user.  All output is retrieved at the  
               MCW ITS office.   

               The Bioethics Database is menu driven and very user  
               friendly.  A help screen is always available by typing  
               "?".  Traverse up menu levels with "u" (for up). Quit  
               at any time with "q". 

               The Search Index 
               When you select a search index you are prompted for the 

               word(s) to search on.  The Bioethics Database supports  
               natural language queries.  All matches are ranked based 

               on the number of matches found.  For example, to search 

               for articles on ethics or AIDS you could type: 
               Index word(s) to search for: ethics aids 
               Search specifications are not case sensitive 

               Additional information on this service is available by  
               typing "?" at any menu.

       Name: CDC WONDER 

       Description: 
               What is CDC WONDER? 
                    CDC WONDER is software for DOS based  
               microcomputers that creates a fast 
               and efficient electronic link between CDC and public  
               health practitioners. 
                
               It is distributed free and uses a toll free number to  
               connect to the CDC in Atlanta.  It was originally
               created to connect local,  county, and state public
               health officials to national databases.  It is now
               available to all public health practitioners.  The data
               available through CDC WONDER come from  
               the National Center for Health Statistics of the Centers
               for Disease Control and Prevention, the National Cancer
               Institute, the National Institute for Occupational
               Safety and Health, the Census Bureau, etc.   
               
               Currently, CDC WONDER only runs on DOS based  
               machines.  They plan to port CDC WONDER to other
               platforms shortly.  There will also be Internet access
               sometime later this year. 

                   
                According to the CDC documentation, user specified  
               tables can be created from the following data sets: 

               AIDS Microfiche Data Summary 
               AIDS Public Use 
               Mortality Data: 
               US Mortality by county, age, ICD code, year 
               Associated Morbidity 
               Comorbidity Multiple Cause of death data 
               ENGLAND AND WALES MORTALITY 
               CBA CEA Bibliography 
               NHIS PAP Smear Data 
               National Hospital Discharge Survey (Data elements  
               available not specified in the documentation) 
               NHIS Tobacco Use Data 
               SEER (Cancer surveillance data set for 10 sites,  
               combined to estimate 
               national rates for age-race-gender-year stratum) 
               Sexually Transmitted Disease Morbidity 
               US Census 

               One limit of the WONDER system for those outside CDC is 

              that it has to be accessed by modem, as access over the
               net is not yet available.

       Description: 
              Searches are based on specific topics.  The BIRON  
               system prompts you to type in a topic for which you are 

               seeking data.  Your term is matched against a list of  
               several thousand descriptive terms arranged in  
               associated groups.  If an exact match is found, you are 

               told how many datasets have been indexed with the  
               matching term. Then you are offered other associated  
               terms which might assist in focussing your search.  If  
               no exact match is found, lists of similarly spelled  
               words are offered for your selection and the process of 

               matching begins there.  Some topics covered in the  
               catalog archive cover areas of social and economic  
               life.  Areas of interest to the health community

       Name: BIOCOMPUTING SURVIVAL GUIDE 

       Description: 
                Biocomputing Survival Guide is designed for  the  
                rare user of molecular biology computer programs.  
                Basic operations of login procedures, file handling  
                and transfer, and the GCG key programs are  
                explained for both UNIX and VMS operating systems. 
        Access: URL or FTP 
                The Guide is available as a MS-WORD document from the  
                EMBnet file server, and as printed version you can most

                conveniently obtain the Guide from the
               "Materialausgabe" at  
                the Biozentrum ground floor, by sending a request to  
                EMBnet Switzerland, or, internationally, to Paula     
                Maki-Valkkila, CSC, Tietotie 6, P.O.Box 405, 02101    
                Espoo, Finland. The Biocomputing Survival Guide is a  
                DIN A 5 booklet . The Biocomputing Tutorial (the black
                book) is no longer available but a new book will be   
                available in the bookstores early 1994  (Humana Press).

                Use of GOPHER to access GCG manual GOPHER is a program 

                which can help to find resources accessible via       
                network. If you start the program, it connects to a   
                resource which is a central access point of EMBnet    
                Switzerland. The information is presented as menus, and
                an item with a period (.) represents a file to be     
                viewed, a slash (/) is a new source of information, and
                an index is symbolized with a question mark (?). 

                GOPHER  provides you with an easy way to access the GCG

                program documentation: Type the name of the program  
                (gopher) on the command line, and select item 5 (GCG  
                Software Documentation) by moving the cursor with the 
                arrow keys to this item. Then, hit <RETURN> and select 
                the first item by hitting <RETURN> again. You may      
                search any keyword (e.g.,  sequence search) after     
                typing it in and hitting <RETURN> again.  You will    
                obtain a list of all sections in the manual which     
                contain the desired keyword. GOPHER will be featured in
                a future release of Biocomputing NEWS. From  
                within the WWW program, a

                available.   
                Note that we must restrict the access to this part of 
                the gopher to Basel university due to copyright

       Name: BIOMEDICAL COMPUTER LABORATORY 

       Description: 
                The Biomedical Computer Laboratory (BCL) is  
                designated as a "Resource for Biomedical Computing"  
                by the National Institutes of Health's National  
                Center for Research Resources (NCRR).  A  
                significant portion of the activities at the BCL  
                are supported by NCRR's Biomedical Research  
                Technology Program (BRTP) which promotes the  
                application of advances in computer science and  
                technology, engineering, mathematics, and the  
                physical sciences to research problems in biology  
                and medicine by supporting the development of  
                advanced research technologies.  In addition to  
                supporting the development of new or improved  
                technologies, the BRTP resource program encourages  
                the use of those developments in collaborative  
                research with biomedical research investigators  
                nationally through both collaborative interactions  
                and service-oriented relationships. 

                BCL program emphasis is on quantitative imaging  
                including positron- emission tomography (PET) image  
                reconstruction utilizing estimation-maximization  
                (EM) methods, computational optical- sectioning  
                microscopy, shape modeling and segmentation,  
                electron- microscopic autoradiography (EMA), image  
                acquisition and quantitative analysis of DNA  
                electrophoretic gels and autoradiogram, and parallel  
                processing.  The resource invites program participation
                by research investigators with relevant scientific  
                interests.  The participation can be either as a  
                research collaborator or as a user of resource  
                capabilities.  A collaboration involves two-way  
                interaction of mutual benefit, whereas user service  
                provides a primary benefit to the user.   
                Investigators wishing to explore the possibility of  
                interactions with the resource at Washington  
                University should contact us by mail, telephone,  
                FAX, or email (preferred).  Information may also be  
                obtained via an anonymous FTP server on the  
                Internet on which the Resource maintains public  
                information including a list of publications  
                available, selected publications, and software.

                The Mac Archives at University of Michigan  
                collection area for medicine and the health  
                sciences. As of this writing, the collection is  
                small.  The contents are gradually growing in the  
                AMSA public domain software library, but these  
                files are a few years old. They are seeking any  
                Macintosh programs, utilities, demonstrations, or  
                computer aided instruction related to the health  
                sciences. Anyone developing any type of Macintosh  
                medical software, and would like to make it  
                available to the rest of the world, can send it to  
                them.  

                SUBMITTING FILES TO THE MEDICAL SECTION OF THE  
                ARCHIVES 

                The best way to get files to the archive is to FTP.  
                Put them into the incoming directory, then email  
                ERICM@UMICH.EDU and let him know that the file is  
                there.  This way he'll know there are health  
                science files waiting  within the directory, and  
                also who to contact if the files don't work "as  
                advertised."

       Name: MEDTBOOK 

       Description: 
                ASYMETRIX has set up  the following directories on  
                their FTP site.   If anyone feels that they can  
                allow others to SEE/USE/COMPARE what they have  
                done, then use the UPLOAD directory to PUT the  
                files. What is required is a text file description  
                of the book and any other claims, disclaimers that  
                are warrented. Perhaps a quick note to the list  
                stating that you have uploaded some work, OR if you  
                prefer a note to me and I will forward to the  
                medical toolbook list - in which case make the  
                subject line include MTBOOK LIST so that I can  
                filter these out from the other messages. 

                The subdirectory structure is as follows: 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/uploads 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/anatomy 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/pharmacology 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/community 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/biochemistry 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/physiology 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/medicine 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/paediatrics 
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/pathology

                 /pub/medtbook/dentistry 
                 /pub/medtbook/veterinary 

                Room for 250MEG of files is not a problem. 
                All uploads should be uploaded to the  
                /pub/medtbook/medicine/uploads directory.  Include  
                a text file with application to aid placement in  
                correct subdirectory.

                The Scientist files are updated every two weeks. 
                File numbers correspond to date of publication. 
                  
                 Example:  the-scientist-921207 
                 is:       the-scientist-92(for year) 12(for month)  
                07(date)   
                Typing get*  retrieves a listing of all files in  
                The Scientist directory of NSFnet. TS files are  
                about 3000 lines long.  Once they are downloaded,  
                it's easy to scroll to the next article by  
                searching for the demarcator.  One can also search  
                for "(Page nn" or "(Page #nn"

                is an automatic program that delivers information  
                by electronic mail.  To request The Scientist\ from  
                the Info-Server, send a message to : 
                                INFO-SERVER@NNSC.NSF.NET 
                No subject field is needed  The text of the request  
                must be in a special format as follows: 
                  
                 REQUEST: The-Scientist 
                 TOPIC: the-scientist-921207 (if you want the  
                December 7 issue) or  TOPIC:the-scientist-index (if  
                you wish to see the list of Scientist files) 
                 REQUEST:END 
                  
                This request asks for two documents -- The  
                Scientist\ of December 7, 1992 and Index to The       
                Scientist.  You can request up to 20 topics in one    
                request, each topic on a separate line.  
                The NNSC Info-Server is now configured to split  
                documents into a maximum size of 40,000 bytes (40K  
                bytes).  The reason is that some important mail  
                gateways reject messages longer than an arbitrary  
                limit, and others have difficulty with long  
                messages from time to time.  This is why a Line or  
                Byte Limit on the second line of your request is  
                needed.

       Description: 

                Overview of the American Physiological Society 

                                        INTRODUCTION 

                The American Physiological Society is devoted to  
                fostering scientific research--with special  
                emphasis on studying the ways the body functions-- 
                to education, and to the dissemination of  
                scientific information. Through its activities, it  
                plays an important role in the progress of science and
                the advancement of knowledge. At the time of its  
                founding in 1887 the Society had 28 members. It now  
                has  Approximately 7,500 members and is continuing  
                to grow. The membership of the Society includes  
                Nobel laureates and members of the National Academy  
                of Sciences. 

                Most members have doctoral degrees in physiology,  
                medicine (or other health professions), or both.  
                medical schools, either in physiology departments,  
                in other basic science departments, or in 
                clinical units. The remainder of the regular  
                members are employed in hospitals, undergraduate  
                schools, industrial organizations, private  
                foundations, and government. The APS is governed by  
                an elected Council consisting of the 
                President, the President-Elect, the immediate Past  
                President, and six elected Councillors. The Society  
                maintains a staff and offices in Bethesda,  
                Maryland. Management of the affairs of the Society  
                is the responsibility of a full-time Executive  
                Director appointed and compensated by and  
                responsible to the Council. As a nonprofit  
                scientific organization, the Society is tax exempt.

       Name: BIOFTP EMBnet SWITZERLAND 
       Description: 
                This gopher server is implemented on an Indigo  
                Silicon Graphics, one of several in a cluster. The  
                whole system covers about 15 GByte of data. The  
                operating system is IRIX 4.0, and is merely SysV  
                with BSD 4.3 extensions.  Operating stoftware  
                includes standard TCP/IP, Decnet phase IV (in  
                Switzerland only). 

                The biology software used here is the GCG program  
                package, and William Pearson's FASTA program suite. The
                main usage of GCG is currently still VMS bound,  
                therefore, remote submission of jobs from VAX/VMS  
                is possible in a transparent fashion. 

                The Hierarchical Access System for Sequence  
                Libraries in Europe (HASSLE) is developed on this  
                sytem as far as the UNIX flavour goes. 

                The gopher software on this computer was originally  
                taken from  Don Gilbert's distribution and has been   
                modified in order to allow the use on all databases   
                needed within this server, such as EMBL, SWISSPROT,   
                etc. This server is not financed for use as  
                international or national resource.  If you like  
                it, send me a mail, and I could use it as  
                justification that I need more funding.

       Name: CAMIS (Center for Advanced Medical Informatics at
               Stanford) 
       Description: 
                This document describes the CAMIS Gopher and the  
                files available through this information source.  
                There is an experimental and dynamic nature to this  
                Gopher, and we regret any inconvenience caused by  
                this. There are also files that may only be  
                accessed by members of the local community that  
                this Gopher serves. 

                WHAT IS CAMIS 
                CAMIS is an acronym for the Center for Advanced  
                Medical Informatics at Stanford. CAMIS is a shared  
                computing resource supporting research activities  
                in biomedical informatics at the Stanford  
                University School of Medicine.  

                WHAT'S IN THE CAMIS GOPHER 

                1.  Local (CAMIS) Title Search 
                    This is an index search of the directory and  
                document  names in the CAMIS Gopher. This is a  
                great tool for locating files and directories that  
                are relevant to your needs. It is especially useful  
                if you know something is available in this Gopher,  
                but you forgot where it is.  For example, if you  
                wanted to find "computer price lists," you would  
                select the "Local (CAMIS) Title Search" and type  
                computer price lists and you would get the  
                following result: 

                         Local (CAMIS) Title Search: computer price  
                lists 

                 -->  1.  Stanford (Microdisc) Computer Price Lists/ 
                      2.  IMC: Institute for Medical Computer  
                          sciences (AKH Wien)/ 
                      3.  Mail Distribution Lists. 

                You could then view the results (presumably the top  
                result as it appears to be the most appropriate). 

                    NOTE You may use partial words, Boolean  
                variables and quotation marks in this search (see  
                The Test Searching Capabilities directory in this  
                directory for more information). 

                2.  INTERNET-WIDE TITLE SEARCH 
                    This is an index search similar to the Local  
                (CAMIS) Title Search, but for the entire Internet.  
                There is currenty no Boolean capability  
                (obviously), nor partial word or phrase searching.   
                If you type in, say, "informatics," you might get  
                the following: 

                      1.  HEALTH INFORMATICS (HInf). 
                      2.  HINF - Health Informatics. 
                      3.  PROG-GENOME INFORMATICS PROGRAM.

                INFORMATICS.

                      6.  International Olympiad of Informatics/ 

                3.  ABOUT THE CAMIS GOPHER 
                    Contains information about the CAMIS Gopher,  
                Gopher in general, and several Gopher clients in  
                particular, as well as a directory for testing the  
                searching capabilities of this Gopher server. 

                4.  BIO-MEDICAL AND RELATED GOPHERS 
                    This directory contains pointers to other

                List", a schedule of colloquia, journal club,  
                seminars and other documents and resources useful  
                to student and staff of the Section on Medical  
                Informatics (SMI). 

                6.  COMPUTING INFO 
                    This directory contains computing information  
                for the Section on Medical Informatics (SMI)  
                community as well as that of the Knowledge Systems  
                Laboratory (KSL).  Additionally, pointers to  
                information outside SMI and KSL are included. These  
                include various index searches of various  
                Frequently Asked Question (FAQ) archives. 

                    The UNIX man pages are currently not indexed,  
                but we hope to do this in the future. 

                7.  FIND PEOPLE, PLACES, PROGRAMS, PHONE NUMBERS 
                    This directory contains location services which  
                can be helpful in finding e-mail addresses,  
                programs at ftp sites, area codes, phone numbers,  
                and WAIS information source names. 

                8.  HEURISTIC PROGRAMMING PROJECT 
                    This directory contains, among other things,  
                the HPP FTP files. 

                9. KSL MAIL ARCHIVES 
                    This directory contains collections of e-mail  
                messages for various groups within Stanford, CAMIS  
                and the KSL and without (ai-medicine). This archive  
                is currently only available to part of Stanford. 

                10. NIH, NSF, AND FUNDING 
                    This directory contains pointers to the NIH  
                Guide, NIH Program Info, a search of NSF Awards,  
                and a link to the National Science Foundation

                pointers to library telnet sessions. Instructions  
                for searching on varying different systems are  
                included, as is login information. Launching a  
                telnet session is handled in different ways (or not  
                at all) by different Gopher clients. See client- 
                specific documentation for information about  
                launching telnet sessions. 

                13. SUMEX-AIM ARCHIVES (INCLUDING INFO-MAC) 
                    This directory includes the popular INFO-Mac  
                directory of ftp'able files. This directory also  
                contains many of the ftp'able files from the CAMIS  
                community. Different gopher clients handle binhexed  
                files and ftp'ing differently (or not at all). See  
                client-specific documentation for information about  
                ftp and binhex. 

                14. WORLD FULL OF INFO SOURCES

       Name: CAOS/CAMM CENTER IN THE NETHERLANDS 
       Description: 
                The name of the Center derives from Computer  
                Assisted Organic Synthesis and Computer Assisted  
                Molecular Modelling.  It is a national expertise  
                center for computer aided chemistry and offers  
                university chemists a package of software tools for  
                remote use on a central computer system. 

                The emphasis is on easy accessibility, achieved by  
                the application of menu controlled program front- 
                ends and interfaces, and on integration of the  
                various tools and data bases. An example of the  
                latter is the interconversion of molecular  
                structure files  between structural data bases,  
                modelling software and computational programs. 

                An overview of available tools is obtained from the  
                main graphics menu and a hierarchy of alphanumeric  
                menus. Tools are arranged in groups according to  
                their application.  Apart from the two subjects  
                mentioned in the name of the Center, other major  
                chemical disciplines covered are biomolecular  
                sequence analysis and computational chemistry. A  
                full description of the menu items is given in the  
                present text. The Center issues a newsletter to  
                keep subscribers informed on changes, additions and  
                Programs are activated either from an alphanumeric  
                menu, or by command, typing the corresponding name.  
                Program input and output is graphical where  
                appropriate. 

                Through a combination of on-line help facilities,  
                practical courses and the (re)production of manuals  
                the Center supports the use of its tools by  
                chemists without computer experience. A news and  
                conferencing system running on the VAX aims at  
                improving the exchange of information and  
                experience among users, including the Center's  
                staff.

       Name: CODI 
       Description: 
                CODI Cornucopia of Disability Information 
                 CODI is a gopher, intended to serve as a community  
                resource for consumers and professionals by  
                providing, via the Internet, disability  related  
                information in a wide variety of areas. The  
                information  addresses university (SUNY @ Buffalo),  
                local (Buffalo & WNY), state,  national and  
                international audiences. Its contents are 
                determined  by these communities; their submissions  
                and suggestions are 
                welcome.  

                 Ideally, material should be submitted in computer  
                readable form.  However, printed text is also  
                acceptable if the print quality is  sufficient for  
                it to be scanned. (Generally, xerox copies scan  
                poorly.)  Often, it becomes necessary to rewrite or  
                reformat the material. As a  result, errors may  
                appear. Please notify me of these so They may be      
                corrected. 

                Currently, the material is accessible via 22 main  
                menu items. This  article, 'About the Cornucopia of  
                Disability Information', is the  first menu item.  
                Due to the continuous addition of new information   
                the organization of the menus is bound  to change,  
                along with their  contents. Because of CODI's size  
                and its frequency of change, menu  item #2., What's New
                in Codi, is included for the frequent browser. 
                What's New lists modifications, their dates and  
                locations. 

                    #3. Search Menus allows boolean searches of all  
                the CODI menus  for  keywords using jughead. 

                    #4. NY State & Local Services is intended to  
                provide information and directories of services in New
               York. Comprehensive local servicer information has  
                been gathered by the Independent Living Center of  
                WNY.   State wide information has been provided by  
                VESID, Office of Vocational and Educational  
                Services for Individuals with Disabilities, and by   
                the NYS Office of Advocate for the Disabled. 

                    #5. College Services and Resources has the  
                membership lists of two  area Collegiate Consortium  
                of Disability Advocates. Each of these  consortia  
                have approximately 50 institional members. These  
                lists are  included so that potential students can  
                identify campus contacts who  can provide  
                information about accessibility, policy and  
                services. A  submenu contains information about  
                SUNY @ Buffalo. Information from other areas and  
                colleges is welcome. 

                   #6. National Information Sources on Disabilities  
                is a publication of  the NIDRR. It contains 7  
                national subdirectories:  Directory of  Organizations,
                List of Directories  Organized by Category, Cross Index

                of Organizations by Function/Service, Directory  
                of Data Bases, Directory of Hot Lines, Directory  
                of Religious Organizations, and  Directory of  
                Sports  Organizations. 

                   #7. Digest of Data on Persons with Disabilities  
                1992 is another NIDRR  publication. 'This document  
                draws from many sources of published  data and  
                narrative explanations issued by federal  
                statistical agencies  and other sources on the  
                subject of disability.' Unfortunately,   the many  
                tables and graphs lack the quality of the  
                original   document. 
                  
                   #8. Coming to Terms with Disabilities is a  
                product of the New York State Senate Select Committee 
                on the Disabled: A Compilation of Vocabulary 
                Relating to Visible and Non-Visible Disabilities.  
                It is offered as a  primer to further inform those  
                who are interested in learning more  about  
                disabilities, and as a catalyst to stimulate  
                awareness in those  who may have previously shied  
                away from seeking explanations because of  the  
                technical terms involved. The information contained  
                herein is based  on a voluminous amount of  
                information which was forwarded to the  Committee  
                by people with disabilities, advocates, medical  
                doctors,   service agencies, parents, friends,  
                rehabilitation specialists, therapists, educators,    
                counselors and numerous other professionals  in the   
                field. 

                 #9.  WNY TDD Directory is a collection of local,  
                state and national  TDD phone numbers. This  
                directory was assembled by Deaf Adult  Services of  
                WNY. Additions to the directory are encouraged.   
                For  information about other TDD numbers, see under  
                Computing, 'Managing  Information Resources for  
                Accessibility' (section 11). 

                 #10.  Government Documents is intended as a  
                collection of legislation,  regulations and  
                legislative summaries. The collection is in the   
                process of being assembled. The Americans with  
                Disabilities Act is  actually located on another  
                gopher, infoslug.ucsc.edu. Access is  transparent  
                to the CODI reader. Also, see Electronic Resources  
                for  access to many other documents located on  
                other gophers and  ftp  sites. 

                 #11. Computing  has information relating to  
                adaptive hardware and  software. The document,  
                Managing Information Resources for  Accessibility,  
                provides a comprehensive overview. Other  
                information  includes two articles by Joe Lazzaro  
                which appeared in BYTE  magazine plus detailed  
                technology information and directories assembled by the
                IBM Special Needs Information Referral Center.  

                 #12. Legal contains two directories for sources of  
                legal  assistance: State Protection and Advocacy  
                Agencies and Legal and  Advocacy Organizations.  
                Also, there are a number of publications  which  
                were prepared by Mark H. Leeds, Esq. of the  
                Association of the  Bar New York City:  Its The  
                Law, Rights and Responsibilities, and  Rights of People
                with Disabilities. Its The Law is written for  the    
                layman. Rights and Responsibilities is  
                written for agencies and departments of the City of New
                York. This document can serve  as a model for any     
                public institution. 

                 #13. Publications currently contains 8 articles of  
                broad interest.  Except for Newsletters and  
                Journals, at this time there is no single  source  
                of a  comprehensive list of publications. However,  
                many focused  lists are contained elsewhere in  
                CODI, especially within  

                 #14. Network Resources has information about FTP  
                sites,  bulletin  boards and other network  
                resources. In addition, several related  gophers  
                are directly accessed: HealthLine, Recordings for  
                the Blind,  Deaf Gopher, Medical Resources, and  
                Electronic  Rehabilitation Resource  Center.  
                Primitive access is available to some FTP sites  
                including  Project EASI via other gophers. One  
                subdirectory points to an extensive  collection of  
                electronic text found on other gophers and ftp  
                sites.

                This gopher hole was first created as a way to  
                provide electronic access to documents pertaining  
                to Computational Biology.  However this site has  
                grown dramatically and now contains many other  
                types of services and information, including: 

                A)  Searches of Genbank, Swiss-Prot, PDB, PIR,  
                LiMB, TFD, AAtDB, ACEDB, CompoundKB, PROSITE EC

                This Gopher server is maintained as a service of  
                the CHLC informatics core centered at Fox Chase.  
                The server content consists of the following items:  
                (1) CHLC generated linkage maps and markers,   
                (2) other information of general interested to  
                human geneticists,   
                (3) Links to other human-oriented genetics gopher  
                servers, and 
                (4) Additional Biological information deemed  
                appropriate to this server. 

                Additional CHLC generated information will be  
                placed on this 
                gopher as it becomes available.  This information  
                is provided free of charge and without any implied  
                commitment by CHLC or its member institutions that

       Description: 

                The Dana-Farber Cancer Institute TechInfo Bulletin  
                Board is where the DFCI information is stored.   
                Most of the remaining information is stored on  
                other computers, though that fact is invisible to  
                users of the Gopher service.  The menu item Dana-  
                Farber Cancer Institute Positions has been put at  
                the top level to make it easily accessible to  
                outside users. 
                  
                The NIH Gopher also is accessible at the top level  
                as it contains much that will be of interest to  
                DFCI users.  The section on Health and Clinical  
                Information contains the CancerNet information  
                (including the PDQseries), while the AIDS related  
                information contains material of interest to AIDS  
                researchers.  Information for Researchers contains  
                material from the Guide to Grants and Contracts and  
                allows searching on keywords.  The Molecular  
                Biology Databases can be directly searched. 
                  
                DFCI users are welcome to make suggestions for  
                improvements to Mohamed Ellozy, either by email or

       Description: 
                The biology software used here is the GCG program  
                package, and William Pearson's FASTA program  
                suite.  The main usage of GCG is currently still  
                VMS bound, therefore, remote submission of jobs  
                from VAX/VMS is possible in a transparent fashion.   
                The Hierarchical Access System for Sequence

       Description: 
                DDBJ is the sole DNA data bank in Japan. This  
                Gopher is officially certified to collect DNA  
                sequences from researchers and issue accession  
                numbers to data submitters.  Data is primarily  
                collected from Japanese researchers. But they also  
                accept data and issue accession numbers to  
                researchers in other countries.  Data submission  
                via email is preferable, but submission via floppy  
                diskettes is also accepted.  They exchange  
                collected data with the EMBL Data Library and  
                GenBank/NCBI on a daily basis, so that the three  
                data banks share virtually the same data at any  
                moment.

                    PRICES 
                EMBnet Switzerland is currently only funded by Basel  
                University, and the Nationalfond (NF). The NF requested

                that the percentage of users who are NF grant holders 
                is outlined explicitly. The service will be free for NF
                Grant holders. Sites with no NF grant holders will be 
                charged individually. Special arrangements will be made
                for sites where only part of the users are grant      
                holders of the NF. 

                Note that this rule also applies for the use of the   
                file server. DATA on this part of the server have been 

                collected as an added-value service; therefore, you are

                requested to contact the following address if you are

          This on-line Hypertext document attempts to emulate the
          printed catalogue listing strains of Neurospora and
          Aspergillus preserved and distributed by the Stock Center. 
          It lists mutants, strains collected from nature, plasmids and
          gene libraries containing sequences isolated from N. crassa
          and A. nidulans, and general purpose vectors useful in other
          filamentous fungi. 
     Access: It can be reached via the WWW.  From the list of servers
     arranged by location, find Kansas.  There are two entries for the
     University of Kansas. From KUfacts - campus wide information
     server choose "Departmental Information".  From the next screen
     choose "Medical Center Resources", and from the next choose
     "Fungal Genetics Stock Center".  The other University of Kansas
     WWW server is maintained by the Telecommunications Information
     Sciences Lab (TISL) which has a pointer to KUfacts.  TISL also
     Information Sciences Lab (TISL) which has a pointer to KUfacts. 
     TISL also has a Gopher server with a telnet link to KUfacts.

                Human Genome Research Centre.  The purpose of this  
                server is to provide access to Genethon's public  
                data. 

                Ce serveur est encore experimental. J'espere ne pas  
                le casser a chacune de mes modifications.  This  
                server is still experimental. I hope not to break  
                it every time I try something.

       Description: 
                The objectives of HGMP-RC computing is to establish  
                and make available databases of genes, genetic  
                markers and map locations, and to develop new  
                computing environments and methods for acquisition  
                and analysis of such data.  Computing and  
                networking facilities were developed by the MRC to  
                provide  online computing support to the Project.   
                The facilities are connected to a number of other  
                computing systems in centers of genetics and  
                molecular biology research excellence worldwide  
                through national and international wide area  
                networks (WAN's).  At present, the HGMP Gopher  
                Service offers access to databases maintained by  
                the Resource Centre.  They can be found under the  
                "HGMP Databases" option of the HGMP Gopher Service  
                menu. 
                  
                To registered users the HGMP-RC computing  
                facilities offer more  comprehensive services.   
                Genetics and other databases, application software  
                and miscellaneous services are available on the  
                HGMP servers and other systems around the world  
                through the HGMP-RC Menu system using workstations,  
                personal computers or terminals from variety of  
                manufacturers, equipped with appropriate networking  
                and graphical facilities and connected to a  
                suitable WAN.  Several user manuals describing the  
                usage of the HGMP-RC computing facilities have been  
                written and are available to registered users.  The  
                user support desk is maintained during working  
                hours, providing practical help with users'  
                problems.  A program of courses aimed at giving  
                an understanding of what the facilities can  
                provide are run regularly.  A list of forth coming  
                courses can be found under the  "HGMP Training and  
                Seminars" option on the HGMP Gopher Service menu.

       Name: NATIONAL LIBRARY OF MEDICINE GOPHER 

       Description: 

                The National Library of Medicine's Gopher contains  
                information about the Library and selected  
                references materials. It also provides access to  
                Locator, NLM's online catalog system, and to  
                MEDLARS and TOXNET (for those with access codes).  
                Please note that the NLM Gopher does not provide  
                direct access to the contents of journal articles  
                or books.  Articles and books in the NLM collection  
                may be obtained on interlibrary loan through a  
                local or academic library. 

                The NLM is the world's largest research library in  
                a single scientific and professional field. The  
                Library's computer-based MEDLARS system was  
                established to achieve rapid bibliographic access  
                to NLM's vast store of biomedical information.  The  
                Lister Hill National Center for Biomedical  
                Communications and the National Center for  
                Biotechnology Information are research and  
                development divisions within NLM.  The Extramural  
                Programs Division of NLM provides a broad variety  
                of grants to support research and development  
                activities leading to the better management,  
                dissemination, and use of biomedical knowledge. 

                Since September 1992 the NLM has been the site of  
                the National Coordination Office of the multi- 
                agency High Performance Computing and  
                Communications initiative.  Dr. Donald Lindberg  
                serves concurrently as Director of the NLM and  
                Director of the National Coordination Office for  
                High Performance Computing and Communications.

       Name: The EMBnet PROJECT (EUROPEAN MOLECULAR BIOLOGY NETWORK) 

       Description: 

                The European Molecular Biology Network (EMBnet)  
                seeks to provide a communications infrastructure,  
                access to research data and support for  
                bioinformatics research.  Further, new topics in  
                this area are to be stimulated by providing a  
                communication and education forum.  

                Several types of services are provided on national  
                nodes: 
                  
                1) Daily updates to DNA sequence data are received  
                from EMBL, and  properly archived to provide a most  
                up-to date DNA sequence database. Synchronization  
                of the distributed data base is enforced by a  
                quarterly release on tape or CD-ROM. Because of the  
                limited network bandwidth, and the nature of the  
                service, incremental updates are sent as compressed  
                files, which are to be handled individually at the  
                national nodes. 
                  
                2) Daily DNA sequence updates are forwarded to  
                other national sites who wish to keep their own  
                data set.  The mechanisms employed depend on the  
                infrastructure available and range from electronic  
                mailing of abstracts to providing complete binary  
                copies of indexed databases for particular  
                application packages. 
                  
                3) Login services are provided to researchers who  
                wish to use the national node's infrastructure and  
                facilities for biocomputing. The  installations  
                usually offer application software to utilize  
                sequence  data of both public databases and one's  
                own research data.  Additionally, electronic mail  
                and Usenet news are available at most of the sites.

       Name: The ICGEB Computer Resource for Molecular Biology
          (ICGEBnet) 

       Description: 
                The primary purpose of the ICGEB computer resource  
                (ICGEBnet) is to disseminate the best of currently  
                available computational technology to the molecular  
                biologists of the ICGEB research community. The  
                major objectives are:  
                to provide computational assistance to ICGEB  
                molecular biologists in planning experiments, and  
                analyzing protein and nucleic acid sequences.  
                ICGEBnet provides on-line access to the major  
                sequence data banks among which the EMBL nucleic  
                acid sequence data bank is updated on a daily basis  
                (see below) to promote the rapid sharing of information
                and collaboration among the ICGEB Member Country  
                scientists through an international computer link,  
                electronic bulletin boards, electronic mail  
                services, and a host of freely available PC  
                software. ICGEBnet is part of EMBnet, the  
                informatics network of the European Molecular  
                Biology Organization. 
                  
                Access to the ICGEBnet resource is available to all  
                ICGEB Member Country scientists; however,  
                preference will be given to those scientists whose  
                research is directly related to the research goals  
                of ICGEB. The principal mechanism for remote access  
                to the ICGEBnet resource is via the X.25 Public  
                Data Network (PDN). ICGEBnet is connected to the  
                ITAPAC X.25 PDN via a leased data communication  
                line allowing for 16 simultaneous incoming  
                connections.   

                ICGEBnet is maintained by ICGEB's Computer Services  
                in collaboration with ICGEB's Protein Structure and  
                Function Group. Research is focused on search  
                methods for distant protein sequence homologies.  
                They maintain SBASE, a library of protein domains  
                with over 24,000 entries and are developing methods  
                based on parametric representation and Fourier  
                analysis.

     Name:  RURALNET GOPHER, Marshall University School of
               Medicine Gopher Server for Rural Health Care Resources &
               Information

     Description:
        The Marshall University School of Medicine in Huntington, WV,
          has developed a Gopher Server focused on Rural Health Care. 
          In addition to subject-oriented access to other health care
          resources, this gopher includes information on the Kellogg
          Community Partnerships Rural Health Grant in West Virginia,
          the West Virginia Rural Health Initiative, and rural health
          programs and research at the Marshall University School of
          Medicine.  Files from the Rural Information Center Health
          Service and the Food and Nutrition Information Center of
          FedWorld have been posted as well, including lists of rural
          health publications, conferences and grant opportunities.

          This gopher also archives the session notes from the Kellogg
          & RHI Multidisciplinary Sessions, rural problem-based-
          learning sessions for medical, dental, pharmacy, nursing,
          physical therapy and social work students from all of the
          health care education institutions within the state.

       Name: UCLA DISABILITIES AND COMPUTING PROGRAM 

       Description: 
                UCLA Disabilities and Computing Program (UCLA-DCP)  
                link to the  gopher has been added to the SJU  
                Electronic Rehabilitation Resource Center gopher. 

                The goal for the UCLA-DCP Gopher is to focus on  
                locally developed resources (regional  
                specialties -- sounds appetizing!).  These are  
                publications, planning documents, annual reports  
                and so forth that come out of our experience here  
                at UCLA.  The idea is to share what we've learned.   
                I don't intend to develop a large resource data  
                base of disability resources.  Rather we point to  
                CODI and St. Johns and other sites that have large  
                resource gophers that cover this need very well. 
       Access:  Gopher to SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU, then select

                One consequence of this design is that many  
                resources are useful for several tasks and thus  
                there is a lot of redundancy in the resources  
                listed.  Gopher points to resources relatively  
                deeply embedded in other gopher servers.

       Name: CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS 
       
       Description: 
             The CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS maintains a  
             software library with 50 diskettes containing about 150  
             public-domain medical application programs for IBM PC- 
             compatible microcomputers.  Most of these programs are  
             provided in source  code (BASIC, Turbo-BASIC, dBASE III  
             and PASCAL).  In the last three years, the Center has  
             distributed more than 400 copies to physicians, nurses,  
             dentists, university lecturers and    researchers, and  
             other professionals and students in the Health 
             Sciences, in exchange for a small fee per diskette, which 

             is used to expand the public-domain software library.   
             Outside contributions are welcome: if they are accepted,  
             the contributor is entitled to choose any five diskettes  
             from the collection.  The majority of the programs are in 

             Portuguese, but some are in English, too.  A few of the  
             programs are offered as shareware, meaning there's a  
             small fee to the developer.

       Name: COLUMBIA PRESBYTERIAN LIBRARY OF MEDICAL LOGIC MODULES
               (MLM) KNOWLEDGE BASE

       Description: 
             The medical knowledge base is composed of units called  
             Medical Logic Modules (MLMs) written in the Arden Syntax. 

             The Arden Syntax for Medical Logic Modules (MLMs) is a  
             language for encoding medical knowledge.  Each MLM  
             contains sufficient logic to make a single medical  
             decision.  MLMs have been used to generate clinical  
             alerts, interpretations, diagnoses, screening for  
             clinical research, quality assurance functions, and  
             administrative support. 

             With an appropriate computer program (known as the Event  
             Monitor at CPMC), MLMs run automatically, generating  
             advice where and when it is needed.  For example, one MLM 

             warns physicians when a patient develops new or worsening 

             kidney failure.  

             The Arden Syntax was designed specifically for sharing  
             knowledge.  This collection contains MLMs donated by a  
             number of different institutions. Some institutions have  
             supplied only the maintenance and library information  
             from the MLMs for free distribution; the knowledge  
             section is missing. If you want the full versions,  
             contact Johanne La Grange (lagrang@cpmail- 
             am.cis.columbia.edu). 

             Note that these MLMs have a validation level of "testing" 

             and no "domain specialist" has been entered. This means  
             that they are NOT validated for clinical use in their  
             current form. If you use them, you must take  
             responsibility for testing them and making sure they are  
             appropriate for your institution.

             The Financial Economics Network provides channels where  
             announcements and messages of interest are posted and  
             ideas exchanged on topics of mutual interest.  Additional 

             plans for the Network include: the development of a CSO  
             phonebook for the financial economics profession (broadly 

             defined); usenets to which our discussion lists will be  
             mirrored; a channel or usenet for posting of jobs in  
             financial economics; a channel or usenet for posting  
             resumes; virtual conferences on topics of interest to the 

             financial community; internet finance courses offered by  
             world known faculty; and possible e-journals related to  
             financial economics.   

             The Network consists of a master subscription, called AFA-

             FIN, with 21 channels. There are currently 18 channels  
             open to AFA-FIN subscribers, with 3 additional ones  
             coming on line in approximately two weeks. The channels  
             currently operating, which run the gamut of topics in  
             financial economics, are: 

             The Financial Economics Network is a multi-channel  
             electronic network for scholars and interested  
             individuals in investment banks, banks, companies,  
             government agencies, international agencies and

       Name: NIH GRANT LINE (DRGLINE BULLETIN BOARD) 

       Description: 
             The purpose of NIH GRANT LINE is to make program and  
             policy information for the Public Health Service (PHS)  
             agencies rapidly available to the biomedical research  
             community.  Most of the research opportunity information  
             available on this bulletin board is derived from the  
             weekly publication "NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts"  
             consisting of Notices, RFAs, RFPs (announcements of  
             availability), Numbered Program Announcements, and  
             statements of PHS policy.  The electronic version known  
             as E-Guide is available for electronic transmission each  
             week, sometimes a day or two in advance of the nominal  
             Friday publication date.  The material consists  
             predominantly of statements about the research interests  
             of the PHS Agencies, Institutes, and National 
             Centers that have funds to support research in the  
             extramural 
             community. 
               
             Currently under development are 2 new files.  One of them 

             will be a monthly listing of new NIH Awards.  The other  
             one will be an order form to obtain NIH publications from 

             DRG's Office of Grants Inquiries.  The information found  
             on the NIH Grant Line is grouped into three main sections:


             1) short News Flashes that appear without any prompting 
             shortly after the user has logs on. 
             2) Bulletins that are for reading. 
             3) Files that are intended mainly for downloading. 

             There are menus and simple English commands, but all the  
             user has to type is the first letter of the commands  
             displayed.  Since most of the current as well as archived 

             files are located in the section of the bulletin board  
             called FILES, type  F  in order to be able to access any  
             of the files which are arranged into directories.  To get 

             an overview of the kinds of information available, type   
             D  for Directory.  Remember that you can mail files (a  
             "download" option) to your Internet address. 

             Also included is electronic access to NIH guide for  
             grants and contracts.  There are two principal methods of 

             accessing the NIH Guide electronically. 
             1)  Via electronic networks to institutional hubs. 
             2)  By accessing NIH GRANT LINE, an electronic bulletin  
             board 

             1)  institutional hubs 
               
             The first method is to have someone in your research  
             setting volunteer to receive the NIH Guide, Indices, and  
             Directories automatically via electronic networks each  
             time they are updated then redistribute them locally to  
             biomedical researchers.  These participants are the  
             "institutional hubs."  The preferred, and most efficient  
             method of distribution,  is for each hub to disseminate  
             the material by existing systems or by methods of their  
             own choosing.  To express your interest in serving as the 

             focal point for your organization and to receive a letter 

             of invitation, send an email message in which the  
             responsible person is named to Dr. Claudia Blair whose  
             Bitnet address is Q2C@NIHCU (or Internet Q2C@CU.NIH.GOV). 
               
             2)  NIH GRANT LINE 

             The other method, which requires active intervention to  
             access the same documents each week, is to get access to  
             the NIH GRANT LINE.  Directions for this electronic like  
             bulletin board system are given below.   One feature on  
             NIH GRANT LINE is that users have an option of  
             downloading selected documents through a modem, or the  
             rapid transmission of files via Bitnet or Internet to  
             their Bitnet or Internet address.  If the connection is  
             to the electronic bulletin board is through a modem,  
             files will download to a PC file.  The user can also  
             speed up the process of accessing files in an interactive 

             session by directing mail as indicated below. 
               
             To access NIH GRANT LINE: 

             1)  Configure your terminal emulator as:  1200 or 2400  
             baud, even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit, Half Duplex. 

             2)  Using the procedure specified in the communication  
             software,   call (301) 402-2221.  When you get a response 

             indicating that you have been connected, then type   
             ,GEN1  (the comma is mandatory) and press RETURN; you  
             will be prompted by the NIH  system for "INITIALS?".   
             Type  BB5  and press RETURN.  You will then be prompted  
             for "ACCOUNT?".  Type  CCS2  and press RETURN.   

             Messages and a menu will be displayed that allows the  
             user to read Bulletins, or download Files.  It shouldn't  
             take to long to become familiar with the contents of the  
             bulletin board, and the commands to go back and forth  
             from one section to another.  On the NIH Grant Line, back 

             issues of the NIH Guide are found in different  
             directories.   GUIDE90 has issues going back to July 6,  
             1990; GUIDE91 has all of the issues in 1991; GUIDE92 has  
             all of the issues in 1992; and GUIDE93 has all issues to  
             date in 1993. 

             Remember that although the access is through a modem,  
             transmission of the files selected are much faster  
             through the selection of network transmission.  After  
             selecting a file to be "downloaded", chose option 2  -   
             "2 -- Transmitted to a NUnet, BITNET, or Internet userid" 

             and then respond with your email address. 
       Access: telnet -   
               At the Open prompt, type ,GEN1  (must include comma) 
               INITIALS? BB5 
               ACCOUNT? CCS2 
                 
               This will get the user into the DRGLINE Bulletin Board  
               (also known as NIH GRANT LINE at NIH).

               the CancerNet file. 

               WAIS:  The cancernet.src is attached below. 

               All keywords entered are searched on "or" basis. Other  
               Boolean operators are also acceptable, eg. the following


               keyword combinations: 
               -cervix and treatment 
               -lymphoma not intermediate 

               Also, the search allows truncation eg. cervi* which will

               include both the keywords cervical and cervix.  The  
               waisindexer used is from Don Gilbert, Indiana Univ. 
               This waisindex is accessible from the gopher menu (last 

               item) as well as from the web menu.  It is of course  
               accessible from a wais 
               client  eg. waissearch, xwais, swais, etc. 

               If you try it, you will find that the titles of the hits

               are not very meaningful, ie. only the numbers are
               returned.  Work is in progress. 

               The cancernet.src  file is as follows:  Edit it and cut 

               out from parenthesis to parenthesis.

       Name: THE VIRTUAL HOSPITAL (VH) 

       Description: 
             The Virtual Hospital (VH) is a continuously updated       

             medical multimedia database stored on computers and       

             accessed through high speed networks 24 hours a day.  The 

             VH will provide invaluable patient care support and       

             distance learning to practicing physicians. 
             The VH information may be used to answer patient care     

             questions, thus putting the latest medical information at 

             physicians' fingertips. This same information may be used 

             for Continuing Medical Education (CME); delivering CME to 

             physicians' offices and homes at a convenient time and    

             location.  The VH is built on pre-existing computer and   

             communication standards and uses the World Wide Web (WWW) 

             software technology to store, organize, and distribute    

             our multimedia textbooks (MMTBs) contained within it.  We 

             define a MMTB to be  a program that patterns its user     

             interface after a printed textbook.  Our MMTBs            

             incorporate functions such as free text searching, the    

             ability to play video and audio clips, and to display an 
             unlimited number of high-resolution images. 

       Access: The VH can be accessed by any computer connected to the 

              Internet with a Mosaic client.
