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-mail and 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 the Americas) and biosci@daresbury.ac.uk (for all others). 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.

Euclid Avenue St. Louis, MO 63110 USA 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 autoradiograms, 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 e-mail (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.

BITNIS Accessing databases of the national library of medicine through electronic mail - BITNIS During the I Regional Congress on Health Sciences Information held on October 1992 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The Pan American Health Organization, Regional Office of the World Health Organization officially launched BITNIS (Batch BITNET/Internet to NLM Intercommunication Service), for Latin American and Caribbean Countries. BITNIS it is a new mechanism for accessing all databases of the National Library of Medicine (NLM) in Bethesda, Maryland. This method involves use of GRATEFUL MED, BITNET, internet, UUCP, FIDONET, and a software called SMED. BITNIS was developed by Dr. Andres Stutzin and Victor Cid of the University of Chile, in collaboration with the National Library of Medicine and the Pan American Health Organization. BITNIS uses GRATEFUL MED (GM) to generate the desired bibliographic search. GM is a user-friendly software program that run on an IBM- XT, AT or other compatible computer and that permits a user without experience to do a bibliographic search of the Medical Library Analysis and Retrieval System (MEDLARS) of the NLM. GM allows formulation and modification of a search strategy before sending via BITNET, internet, UUNET, etc. The search strategy is formatted by SMED and then that "file" is sending by electronic mail through any network to NLM internet node. The BITNIS gateway captures the message and converts it for processing by the NLM computer. The results of the search then are returned by the NLM computer to the gateway where the file is converted for transmission via computer network to the recipient's PC. Is the file the same as used for the GM Search Engine (Appendix G of the GM Instruction Manual)? Are the commands the same as given in the "Basics of Searching Medline" PB 89-146179 NIH GRANT LINE (DRGLINE Bulletin Board) telnet - wylbur.Cu.Nih.Gov or 128.231.64.82 At the Open prompt, type ,gen1 (must include comma) INITIALS? bb5 ACCOUNT? ccs2 This should put the user into the DRGLINE Bulletin Board (also known as NIH Grant Line at NIH). The purpose of NIH Grant Line is to make program and policy information of 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 dates. 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 you have logged on; (2) Bulletins that are for reading; and (3) Files that are intended mainly for downloading. There are menus and simple plain 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 inorder to be able to access any of the files which are arranged into directories. To get an overview of the kinds of info available type D for Directory. Remember that you can mail files (a "download" option) to your Internet address. ELECTRONIC ACCESS TO NIH GUIDE FOR GRANTS AND CONTRACTS Issued weekly for Notices, RFAs, RFPs and Program Announcements (Electronic version known as E-Guide) There are two principal methods of accessing the NIH Guide electronically. I. Via Electronic Networks to Institutional Hubs. II. By Accessing NIH Grant Line, an Electronic Bulletin Board I. 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. We call these participants the "institutional hubs", a preferred method and the most efficient in our view, and it is up to 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 E-mail message in which the responsible person is named to Dr. Claudia Blair whose Bitnet address is Q2C@NIHCU (or Internet Q2C@CU.NIH.GOV). II. NIH GRANT LINE The other method, which requires your active intervention to access the same documents each week, is to get access to the NIH Grant Line. Directions for this system that operates like an electronic bulletin board are given below. Incidentally, we have recently added a new feature on NIH Grant Line that, instead of downloading selected documents through a modem, allows the rapid transmission of files via Bitnet or Internet to your Bitnet or Internet address. The connection or access to our electronic bulletin board is through a modem, but you may download to a PC file, or you can speed up the process of accessing files in an interactive session by directing mail to yourself 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 your communication software, dial 1-301-402-2221. When you get a response indicating that you have been connected, then type ,GEN1 (the comma is mandatory) and press ENTER; you will be prompted by the NIH system for "INITIALS?". Type BB5 and press ENTER. You will then be prompted for "ACCOUNT?". Type CCS2 and press ENTER. Messages and a menu will be displayed that will allow you to read Bulletins, or download Files. It shouldn't take you long to familiarize yourself with the contents of the bulletin board, and the commands to go back and forth from one section to another.

UNIVERSITY OF ILLINOIS DIVISION OF ENVIRONMENTAL HEALTH AND SAFETY BBS Access: telnet - romulus.Ehs.Uiuc.Edu 3000 or 128.174.74.24 The University of Illinois Division of Environmental Health and Safety maintains a large collection of Material Safety Data sheets. Part of the collection (approximately 26,000 MSDS's) is maintained in paper files at the Division headquarters located at 101 South Gregory St., Urbana, Illinois. The paper collection is constantly updated as new or more current MSDS's are received from manufacturers and suppliers. Each MSDS, is assigned a unique serial number uppon arrival. These numbers are referred to as DEHS ID numbers or DEHSID's. A file listing the dehsid, the chemical name and the supplier for each of these MSDS's is maintained on-line. It is accessible through this BBS at the MSDS MENU. In addition to the paper file, the Division also maintains a file containing approximately 86,000 MSDS in the form of a database which is also directly accessible through this BBS. This database consists of a collection which is distributed quarterly by the Canadian Centre for Occupational Health and Safety (CCOHS). The CCOHS is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting a safe and healthy environment by providing information about occupational health and safety. The information contained in the CCOHS database is contributed directly to CCOHS by manufacturers and suppliers of chemical products. The MSDS's in the CCOHS database are in English and/or French, as supplied by the contributors. They contain basic information on the properties and potential hazards of chemical products, how to use them safely, and what to do if there is an emergency. The MSDS MENU allows you to simultaneously search the index of all of the paper MSDS's contained in our files as well as the MSDS's obtained on a quarterly basis from CCOHS. As you search the index, you will notice that some of the dehsid's start with the letter "T". These represent MSDS which you may directly look at in their entirety on-line. This program will eventually be used for accessing many information sources in the Division of Environmental Health and Safety. It is currently being developed, so please keep in mind that some things will not work correctly. If you encounter any difficulties in using this BBS, or if you wish to make suggestions you may contact Hector Mandel (mandel@romulus.ehs.uiuc.edu). _________________________________________________________________ GOPHER Although GOPHER is a relative newcomer to the internet, the health resources it points to are vast. The best way to learn about GOPHER and what it has to offer is to log onto one and go exploring. You'll either have to have a Gopher client or telnet to a 'public Gopher to get into the system. So a good place to begin 'tunneling' through gopher space is to telnet to the University of Minnesota gopher server at gopher.micro.umn.edu, port 70.

CAMIS (Center for Advanced Medical Informatics at Stanford) Access: telnet to: camis.stanford.edu login: gopher CAMIS has a national responsibility to disseminate and further the state of medical computing in much the same way that its predecessor, SUMEX-AIM (host of the Info-Mac archives), did. The CAMIS gopher features much of the usual and the following: o technical report abstracts from the last 10 years from the Knowledge Systems Laboratory (which includes the Section on Medical Informatics and the Heuristic Programming Project) o an extensive collection of Mac documentation (including Word 5, Canvas and other applications) o a search test directory, originally designed for testing the NeXT's Digital Librarian indexing) that now can be used to test the searching capabilities of Don Gilbert's WAIS enhancements (in the About the CAMIS Gopher directory). It's simple, but especially useful for novices like myself to figure out what you will get with a particular search on a small, well-defined database.

HEALTHLINE GOPHER SERVER University of Montana Student Health Services [NOTE: Healthline is at selway.umt.edu port 700 (NOT 70!! as is currently listed at the U Minn list of Gophers and at NIH and a few other places). The goal of Healthline is to offer (electronically) many of the same types of information that you'd receive by going to any university health center...and then some. It's NOT designed to replace face-to-face consultation with a doctor or counselor, but to assist in learning and understanding topics of general health/medical interest. Healthline not only includes "traditional" topics of physical and mental health (sexuality, drug & alcohol information, academic tips and dietary facts), but also pointers to information for the disabled, information about the effect of computers on health, health-related USENET newsgroups, various "Extension Service" Gophers, environmental health and safety issues, and health-related information provided via U.S. Federal Agencies.

By default, all of your searches will be run against one library. However, you may also search either "the other" library or both of them together by using a location symbol immediately after your command name. For example: AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY The symbol SYS will search both the SBH and UML collections. If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may also change the default through the use of the SET LIB command. For instructions on this command, type HELP SZ.

You also have the option of searching either the other library or both of them together by inserting the location symbol immediately after your command name. The symbol for both is SYS. For example: AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may temporarily change your search default with the LIB command. For example: SET LIB UML SET LIB SBH SET LIB SYS When you use the SET LIB command, your system prompt will change to reflect the new search default.
