13. Requests for proposals for library automation.
Many health sciences libraries are now considering integrated automated systems for an investment of several hundred thousand dollars. The request for proposals (RFPs) is the usual method of selecting candidate vendors for close inspection of promising systems. This paper draws upon the experience of the Library of Rush University and that of twelve other he

14. New Trends in Medical Libraries in Hospitals *
External and internal forces affecting medical library services are examined. Public Law 89-239, the Heart, Cancer and Stroke Amendments of 1965, and Public Law 89-291, the Medical Library Assistance Act of 1965 which was extended by Public Law 91-212 have an impact on medical libraries. The Veterans Administration relationships with primary beneficiaries of

15. Metropolitan Detroit's Network “...informed by magic numbers.” *
Wayne State University Library's serials automation project is evolutionary in concept, with its first completed stage designed to give information on titles and holdings. Its master tape includes, in addition to Wayne State University holdings, data for more than twenty biomedical libraries in the area, and print options are available that will produce a fu

16. BACS: evolution of an integrated library system toward information management.
The evolution of the Washington University School of Medicine BACS integrated library system toward information management functions is outlined. The creation of a machine-readable database and its extension through telecommunications have consequences that reach beyond the functions of the library as we have perceived them. It is argued that libraries are f

17. Automating Veterans Administration libraries: I. National planning and development.
The Veterans Administration Library Network (VALNET) needed an automated library system that could interface with the agency's national automation activities. The Library Special Interest Users Group was established to oversee the selection of appropriate automated systems. The Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System (MUMPS) computer

18. Automated cataloging: the state of the art.
The art of cataloging is in a state of constant dynamic change. The capabilities of automation are causing changes in the tools we have at our disposal, the education and training we need to work with these tools, the caliber of staff we use at various stages of the cataloging process, and the physical form of the end product of the efforts of the catalog de

19. An essay on reflection.
From the vantage point of her personal experience, the author examines milestones since the 1960s which have changed the medical library profession and helped shape the Medical Library Association. The advent of automation, including cataloging with OCLC and online literature searching through the SUNY Biomedical Communication Network, was a dramatic event t

20. The Controversy over Change *
The full impact of twentieth century technology upon medical libraries was first felt in the late 1950s and early 1960s with the introduction of electronic automation into library methodology. During those years, often the aura of technology for the sake of technology prevailed, and medical librarians did little to inform themselves of capabilities, potentia

21. A step ahead: combining protein purification and correct folding selection
The success of recombinant protein expression seems unpredictable and even good yields of soluble proteins do not guarantee the correct folding. The search for soluble constructs can be performed by exploiting libraries and speeded up by automation, but these approaches are money and time consuming and the tags used for affinity purification can mask the rea

22. Novel ceftazidime-resistance β-lactamases generated by a codon-based mutagenesis method and selection
Four known and nine new ceftazidime-resistance β-lactamases were generated by a novel, contaminating codon-based mutagenesis approach. In this method, wild-type codons are spiked with a set of mutant codons during oligonucleotide synthesis, generating random combinatorial libraries of primers that contain few codon replacements per variant. Mutant codons ar

23. From Index Catalogue to Gopher space: changes in our profession as reflected in the Handbook and CPHSL.
A fifty-year review of the history of health sciences librarianship, as reflected in four editions of the Handbook of Medical Library Practice and its successor, Current Practice in Health Sciences Librarianship, illustrates the significant changes our profession has undergone. Publication in 1943 of the first edition of the Handbook marked an important mile

24. Introduction of YACs into intact yeast cells by a procedure which shows low levels of recombinagenicity and co-transformation.
Yeast artificial chromosomes (YACs) enable the cloning and analysis of large segments of genomic DNA and permit the isolation of sequences which are impossible to maintain in Escherichia coli. However, the construction of genome libraries in YAC vectors is beset by a number of technical problems, not least of which is the creation of cloned fragments which a
