- This is to announce the CAMIS (Center for Advanced Medical Informatics at
- Stanford) gopher at:
-
- Name=CAMIS (Center for Advanced Medical Informatics at Stanford)
- Type=1
- Path=
- Port=70
- Host=camis.stanford.edu
-
-
- Although this gopher will be accessible under the Stanford gopher, we
- wouldn't mind if it were given more prominence, i.e., a spot in the North
- American gophers list. 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. How an
- "Artificial Intelligence in Medicine" resource got involved in furthering
- AI medical computing by offering Mac games, virus detection programs and
- other things is a separate discussion. ;)
-
- 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
- Word5, 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.
