Subject: Writing for the Web: UPDATED 10/30/95
Good Afternoon,
The paper "Writing for the Web: A Primer for Librarians"
has been updated. Thanks to all of those who sent me corrections
and suggestions. The paper can be found at the following URL:
http://bones.med.ohio-state.edu/eric/papers/primer/webdocs.html
Please update any references to this site to include the
full .html filename. Here is the abstract:
ABSTRACT: The most time consuming aspect of setting up
a library Web service is creating and maintaining the documents which
make up the site. While each library will need to adapt their own policies
regarding the selection and organization of resources, participants in
a library Web project need to know how to construct basic Web
documents. This paper discusses basic concepts and terminology which
are associated with writing documents for the Web. It is not an in-depth
HTML
guide, but a general introduction to the topic.

SPACELINE: New NLM Database Announced
How long can humans survive in space? How can we counteract the effects of
weightlessness, cosmic radiation, and other characteristics of the space
environment? Can we grow plants in space to provide food for long-term
habitation? What useful clinical applications come from space research?
Searching for information on these topics may now be done through
SPACELINE--a
cooperative venture of the National Library of Medicine and the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration. SPACELINE consolidates the results of
a
growing body of space life sciences research into a single, easily
accessible
resource. Its intended audience is the space life sciences community; the
medical, scientific, and scholarly communities worldwide with an interest in
the
field; and the general public.
SPACELINE consists of references to journal articles, technical reports,
books,
book chapters, conference proceedings, meeting abstracts, bibliographies,
and
audiovisual materials. Sources consist of all references in scope from
several
NLM databases, including MEDLINE journal article references from 1966 on,
and
thousands of citations from 1961 to the present contributed by NASA.
The database covers:
Clinical medical support to humans in space,
Physiology, metabolism, and growth and development of the cells, organs, and
systems of humans, animals, and plants as they are affected by the space
environment,
Environmental protection and life support for humans in space,
Psychological, behavioral, and human factors involved in living in the space
environment, and
Applications of space life sciences research to the improvement of life on
Earth.
Online access to SPACELINE is available to anyone holding a valid NLM user
code.
The cost for an average search is about $1.50. Information about how to gain
access to the Library's online network is available from the NLM Public
Information Office (e-mail: publicinfo@nlm.nih.gov).
A SPACELINE office has been established for NASA at the Uniformed Services
University of the Health Sciences in Bethesda. Questions concerning
SPACELINE's
coverage should be directed there--phone: 301/295-2482; e-mail:
SPACELINE@usuhsb.usuhs.mil; or write to: SPACELINE, Department of
Physiology,

Subject: Re: Hospital Internet Justification
This posting by Michelynn and the previous one by Cheryl Martin were both
very interesting and informative. I'm just curious how comfortable hospital
administrators feel about the security issues regarding unauthorized access
(hacking) to confidential or otherwise sensitive information residing on
their systems. The reason I ask is that I got stuck in the Chicago airport
in September and got into a conversation with a gentleman coming to New
Orleans for a convention of professional security folks. When we began
talking about the Internet in a health care environment, he volunteered that
the security concerns regarding patient info and care were staggering, and
that hospital administrators ought to be scared silly - the potential
liability incurred if someone hacked into a system and changed the drug
dosage on a patient chart, etc., etc.
I haven't heard anyone addressing those issues except in an almost offhand
manner - Michelynn's document assumes "firewalls" prevent such problems. I
assumed so, too, but the security gentleman felt that that was an
oversimplification of the problem. His attitude was that if your Internet
access was on the same machines as your patient information, "firewalls"
were easily breachable if a hacker wanted to get in.
I don't expect anyone to expound on their security measures in great detail
on an open forum, even one consisting of honorable medical librarians, but I
am curious about the concerns voiced by your systems people. Do most
hospitals keep their Internet access separate from their internal
information systems or do they feel their security measures are up to the
challenge of combining them. How safe is dial up access - how secure are
your user ids and passwords? Enquiring minds want to know. Reply to the
list or to me personally if you prefer.
Thanks,
Cindy

Cindy,
Good point. In brief, the administrators at my hospital are very concerned
about security issues. Our systems staff are doing a lot of investigation
into information security risk management. At this time our hospital would
probably implement an Internet system that is separate from our patient
information system and other administrative systems.
Would some of the bigger institutions that are further along with Internet
implementation be willing to share your experiences in this forum? As Cindy
said, "Enquiring minds want to know." Thanks.

> assumes "firewalls" prevent such problems.
At this past meeting of ALA, I attended a workshop about the Internet. One
of the speakers who was excellent and very well informed discussed security.
Summarized his points were that "firewalls" work very well in protecting
data.
Most of the security involved in protecting data has been used and tested
by large companies involved in such things as bank transfers, etc. BUT
there is no 100% failproof system to a determined and very talented hacker
just as there is no 100% failproof system to prevent someone breaking into
Medical Records in person, lifting a chart off of a cart, etc. Reasonable
care and attention is all anyone can do. The recent movies about the
Internet (changed test results, changed drug orders, erased identities, etc.
all very mysterious)can fuel an irrational fear of any electronic exchange
of information just as it can also warn us to the cautious.

Subject: Re: Hospital Internet Justification
the security concerns were part of the reason Internet access has
remained available only thru the library in our hospital, even though we
were one of the pilot sites for the nlm connections project (has it
really been three years...)
our current plan is to keep an "airwall" between the patient care unix
box, the managers novel network, and the library network( currently
running on lantastic with ip (not ipx traffic) we will be moving to a
windows NT environment,for the library network with pcs located thru out
the hospital that can access our cdrom resources and the internet
(curently there are terminals in the er and pharmacy, one goes in the
docs lounge next week)
