       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.

                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:
                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.

                Resources

                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.

       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.

                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

       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.

       Name: OMERACT
       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.

       Name: POP-BIO
       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.

       Description:
                Perinatal outcomes discussion list.  The primary
                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.

       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

                * Assessment of contributors to the development of
                psychology and psychiatry: Charcot, Freud, Jung,
                Adler, Bleuler, Kraepelin, Meyer Erikson, Fromm,
                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:
                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.

                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-
                [e-mail]>.  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
               <[e-mail]>.
                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).
       Access:  Send your request to join TDR-SCIENTISTS to <tdr-
                [e-mail]>. N.B.: Note the word
                request.

                hospital, clinical and pharmaceutical industry-

                completely independent discussion forums for those

       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.

       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 [e-mail]
               (for requests from he Americas) and
               [e-mail] (for all others).

               SEARCHING BIOSCI ARCHIVES WITH WAISMAIL

               E-mail users can search the BIOSCI archives by using
               our waismail e-mail server.  For instructions send the
               message help to [e-mail].  Leave the
               Subject: line blank. Other methods of searching 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

               [e-mail] (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 [e-mail] or

               [e-mail], 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

       Name: MENINGITIS EPIDEMIC CASE STUDY

       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.

         Software prepared and distributed by:

       Access: The software is available by ANONYMOUS FTP from
               ftp.liv.ac.uk in the directory ~ftp/pub/epidemic . The
               package is distributed in compressed form together with

       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.

               The Lyme Disease Electronic Mail Network.  Subscribers

               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.

       Name: MIDWIFERY

       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 [e-mail].

               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.

               NETWORK ACCESS AND USAGE

               The ASTRA database is accessible by EARN/BITNET and
               non- EARN/BITNET users.  For EARN/BITNET users, user
               interfaces for IBM VM/CMS and DEC VAX/VMS are
               developed.  Also a batch language format has been
               developed for non-EARN/BITNET users and users of
               different operation systems.

               To access the ASTRA system the EARN/BITNET  users must
               have the user interface on their disk.  The user
               interface can be obtained from
               ASTRADB@ICNUCEVM with the following commands:

                              For IBM VM/CMS      GET ASTRA EXEC
                              For DEC VAX/VMS     GET ASTRA PAS

               After the files are received and stored on the disk,
               the server is accessed by entering:

                              For IBM VM/CMS      ASTRA
                              For DEC VAX/VMS     RUN ASTRA

               Detailed information on the system can be retrieved by

               1. DESCRIPTION OF THE SERVICE:
               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

               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

               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.

               words are offered for your selection and the process of

               matching begins there.  Some topics covered in 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
                href="gopher://bioftp.unibas.ch">
                link to the top level of the bioftp gopher is
                available.
                Note that we must restrict the access to this part of
                the gopher to Basel university due to copyright

                reasons.

       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.

                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

                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

       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/medicine/psychiatry
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/reproductive
                 /pub/medtbook/medicine/oncology
                 /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.

       Name: SCIENTIST ON NSFNET

       Description:
                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"

                                               OR

                Access The Scientist\ via NNSC Info-Server, which
                is an automatic program that delivers information
                by electronic mail.  To request The Scientist\ from
                the Info-Server, send a message to :
                                [e-mail]
                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.

       Name: THE UCI MEDICAL EDUCATION SOFTWARE REPOSITORY

       Description:
                This is a FTP site at the University of California
                for the collection of shareware public domain
                software and other information relating to medical
                education.

                The Repository currently offers both MSDOS and
                Macintosh software, and hopes to support other
                operating systems (UNIX, MUMPS, AMIGA?). Uploads
                are welcome. They actively solicit information and
                software found useful in local medical education
                whether developed by an instructor or student.

                Once connected to the site via FTP, cd (change
                directory) to either the med-ed/mac/incoming or the
                med-ed/msdos/incoming directories. Change the mode
                to binary and "send" or "put"  files, depending on
                the local system.  Note that the files cannot be
                seen with the "ls" or "dir" commands.  Please
                compress files as appropriate to the operating
                system (ZIP for MSDOS; Compactor or something
                similar for Macintosh) to save disk space.

                After uploading, please send email to Steve Clancy
                ([e-mail]) (for MSDOS) or Albert Saisho
                ([e-mail]) (for MAC) describing the files)
                the uploaded files and any other information they
                might need.

                Note that they can only accept software or
                information that has been designated as shareware,
                public-domain or that may otherwise be distributed
                freely.  Please do not upload commercial software!
                Doing so may jeopardize the existence of this FTP
                site.

       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.
                      4.  PROG-NLM FELLOWSHIP IN APPLIED
                INFORMATICS.
                      5.  The Informatics Teaching Laboratory/
                      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.

       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.

                 #15. Other Directories has the membership list of
                the  President's  Committee on Employment of People
                with Disabilities, two RCEP II  directories (CAPs
                and ILCs) and a national list of support
                organizations compiled by the IBM Special Needs
                Information Referral  Center.

                  #16. Independent Living has the ILRU Directory of

       Name: COOPERATIVE HUMAN LINKAGE CENTER (CHLC)
       Description:
                The goal of this center is to generate a high
                resolution map of the human genome and rapidly
                distribute this information to the genomics
                community.  The project is made up of investigators
                from the following four institutions:
                 The University of Iowa, Iowa City, Iowa, USA;
                 Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA;
                 The Marshfield Medical Center, Marshfield,
                Wisconsin, USA;
                 The Fox Chase Cancer Center, Philadelphia,
                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
                the responses will be either correct or useful to
                you.  Any comments addressed to "[e-mail]"
                will be read, but there is no commitment to respond
                in any way.  We will try and be as helpful as time
                and resources permit, but cannot guarantee any

       Name: DANA-FARBER CANCER INSTITUTE
       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
                phone (look up his phone number in DFCIonline

       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
                Libraries in Europe (HASSLE) is developed on this
                system as far as the UNIX flavor goes.

       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.

                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

     Description:
          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.

                HEALTHLINE GOPHER SERVER
                University of Montana Student Health Services.

                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.

       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

       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: AIDS-RELATED ONLINE DATABASES

       Description:
             The 75,000 members of the NLM international online
             database network may now search AIDSLINE*, AIDSDRUGS,
             AIDSTRIALS, and DIRLINE* without charge. In the past,
             fees had averaged $1.25 per search, or $18 per hour
             connected to the NLM computer in Bethesda, Maryland.  The

             action, effective immediately, was announced on January
             25, 1994, at a meeting of the NLM Board of Regents.

             AIDSLINE is an online database with more than 90,000
             references to AIDS-related journal articles, books,
             audiovisuals, and conference abstracts.

             AIDSTRIALS, produced as a joint effort with NIH's
             National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases and

             the Food and Drug Administration, contains current
             information about more than 500 clinical trials of drugs
             and vaccines that have been and are being tested by NIH
             and by private organizations.

             AIDSDRUGS contains detailed information about the 190
             agents being  tested in the clinical trials. DIRLINE
             (Directory of Information Resources Online) is an online
             listing of 15,000 organizations and  information services

             that provide information to the public about the National

             Library of Medicine, a part of the National Institutes of
             Health, is the world's largest library of the health
             sciences. The NLM Board of Regents, the official body of
             appointed advisors, meets three times a year to consider
             matters of policy affecting the Library and the public
             health.

       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.

       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.

       Name: FINANCIAL ECONOMICS NETWORK

       Description:
             Twenty-five different channels and over 1800 subscribers.
             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
             universities. But there are also channels for small
             investors and people interested in personal finance.
             Although the Network was formed less than a month ago,
             there are already nearly 1,800 subscribers, with nearly
             100 being added each week.  In less than a month,
             Financial Economics Network has become the largest
             electronic network in the world linking people with
             scholarly and practical interests in business and
             economics. Of interest to the health community are the
             following.

       Description:
             An electronic bulletin board at the Bethesda, Maryland
             campus of NIH.  EDNET is set up to allow high school
             students to ask questions of NIH scientists about current

             research.  There is NO CHARGE to access EDNET.  Access is

             via modem through an tool-free phone number or the
             Internet.  The tool-free number is also for national
             access which is said to be an international number.
             If you are interested in receiving an EDNET User's Guide
             and account, send a personal email message which includes

             your mailing address to:  [e-mail]

       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 [e-mail]).

             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 [phone].  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).

             Bethesda, Maryland, USA.
       Access: NUS-NCI CancerNet

               The following services are fairly stable and have been
               online for sometime now.

               Gopher:           gopher biomed.nus.sg
                                 (or  gopher biomed.nus.sg 70 )
                                 and navigate to the NUS-NCI CancerNet
                                 option the gopherd server is the
                                 modified version from Don Gilbert,
                                 IUBio, Indiana University.

               World Wide Web:   URL:    http://biomed.nus.sg:80/
                                 and navigate to the NUS-NCI CancerNet
                                 options

                 The following are more recent (please send bug
                 reports):

               Mail server:      Send the following message to
               [e-mail]

                                 CANCERNETHELP

               or for cn-xxxxxx files, where xxxxxx is the number of
               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.

                - instead of [F3], press [Esc] followed by [3].

                If your terminal does not have arrow keys or the arrow

                keys do not function properly, use the following:

                - instead of the up arrow key, press [u]

                - instead of the left arrow key,  press [l]
