Links may be broken.SEA Currents Volume 22, Number 6 -- November/December 2004 SEA Currents is a bimonthly publication of the Southeastern/Atlantic Region of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine. Happy Holidays from the SE/A to You. The NN/LM SE/A office will be closed for the holidays, from December 24, 2004 - January 2, 2005. We wish everyone a warm and renewing holiday season. MedlinePlus at Sixhttp://www.nlm.nih.gov/news/medplus6yrs.html In just six short years, MedlinePlus ® the consumer health Web site introduced by the National Library of Medicine® on October 22, 1998, has become one of the Web's most popular destinations for reliable health information. MedlinePlus provides free access to health information created by the National Institutes of Health and other trustworthy sources. Health science librarians in the National Network of Libraries of Medicine® not only assist in identifying and evaluating the information to be included in MedlinePlus, but are of tremendous help in demonstrating the system locally and publicizing it. The growth of MedlinePlus (and MedlinePlus en español, introduced in 2002) has been impressive. Today, nearly five and half million people a month from around the world visit the site, viewing over 52 million pages. This is in startling contrast to 1998 when MedlinePlus received about 53,000 visitors in its first quarter of existence. Newspaper reporters are increasingly depending on MedlinePlus, at http://medlineplus.gov/, as an authority for health information for their stories. Much welcome publicity is received whenever writers cite MedlinePlus as a source. In addition, physicians now write "prescriptions" advising patients who need further information on a subject to visit the Web site. The constantly growing MedlinePlus includes nearly 700 health topics, ranging from abdominal pain to yellow fever. In addition, MedlinePlus boasts a hospital guide, a prescription and over-the-counter drug reference guide, a medical encyclopedia, a medical dictionary, and a guide to physicians and dentists. One of the most popular offerings on MedlinePlus is the interactive "health tutorials" that have colorful images and sound. There is also a daily feed of articles from major newspapers on current health topics. Among the useful links in MedlinePlus are ClinicalTrials.gov, NIHSeniorHealth.gov, and PubMed®/MEDLINE®. |
Year 05 – Already?
Janice Kelly. Executive Director
It’s December and we are more than half way through year 04 of our five-year contract. We have had a busy year and it’s now time to think about year 05 and the next contract.
Our year 05 budget plan is due to NLM on January 14, 2005. This is the time to submit your project ideas for year 05. They will be due to me by January 6, 2005 so they can be included in the plan submitted. There are a few things to consider:
-
GoLocal funding up to $25,000/project will be offered for the first time. You must be a Full member or be in a partnership with a Full member to apply. The criteria are still being finalized. We will announce this funding on the nnlm-sea discussion list and SE/A web site when the criteria are finalized. It will be available also on the MedlinePlus at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/golocal.html. If you are considering this type of project, please send a letter of intent to me by January 6, 2005.
Outreach projects will be considered. Remember they can only be 1 year in length and a maximum of $50,000. Information access, connections or technology projects directed at minority health consumers or health professionals, consumer or faith-based groups, public libraries or the public health workforce will be given first consideration. A brief project description and budget is due to me by January 6, 2005. Notification of funding will be made in early May at which time we will request a full, quickly developed, project proposal.
The technology awareness awards will be expanded in number and breath this year. We hope to fund 10 projects that cover both technology and information. PDA fairs, cybercafes, consumer health fairs, open access, e-publishing, or literacy conferences will all be considered. See the announcement and application form on http://nnlm.gov/sea/outreach/rfqs/2004/techconf.html
Exhibit, training, professional development, library improvement, electronic document delivery, community connections and librarianship promotion awards will all be available again too. We expect to advertise the community connections and electronic document delivery awards in May. The other awards are open for applications at any time but we ask that you try to get them in at least 30 days before the event.
This is the year we have to re-compete for the next five-year contract. If you have ideas for projects, starting May 1, 2006, or ideas of groups with which we should work, or things you think we should be doing and are currently not, please drop me a line. The Request for Proposal should be coming in February or March and we hope you will read it and send us your good ideas.
Thanks for all your help and support this year. We really appreciate your time and effort taking care of Network business.
Wishing you all a joyous holiday season and new year.

Standard Award Projects
AID Atlanta, Inc. - Improving Access to HIV Information for AIDS InfoLine
Callers (Atlanta, GA)
AID Atlanta, Inc. provides a toll-free statewide HIV/AIDS information hotline that supplies information, referrals, crisis/emergency intervention and HIV/AIDS and STI (sexually transmitted infection) information utilizing Internet resources for the information and referrals. The Information Hotline provides callers who lack access to the Internet or computers, or are unaware of how to access appropriate resources, with valuable and potentially life-saving information about HIV transmission, prevention, and testing. The Hotline receives approximately 800 calls monthly and is maintained by qualified, trained staff and volunteers. The goals of the AIDS Community Information Outreach Project include improving and enhancing the operation of the InfoLine and increasing the visibility of this service among high risk targeted populations. The AID Atlanta Inc. on the web: http://www.aidatlanta.org
Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry - HIV/AIDS Web site for Youth in Arlington County, VA (Arlington, VA)
Since 1987, Northern Virginia AIDS Ministry (NOVAM) has played a significant role in the struggle against the AIDS epidemic by providing responsive programs throughout Northern Virginia. The NOVAM project will develop and pilot test an interactive internet application designed to improve access to HIV/AIDS related information for African-American and Hispanic youth and young adults in Arlington County, Virginia. NOVAM will enhance the existing Arlington County web site for teens (www.getrealnow.net) to include an interactive chat room and HIV/AIDS related resources. The web site will be designed, programmed, and marketed by the teens. NOVAM will also install kiosks in public settings that are frequently accessed by the youth. The project collaborators include: NOVAM; Arlington County Department of Human Service Public Health Division; Arlington County Public Library; Arlington County Department of Parks, Recreation, and Community Resources; Career Center of the Arlington County Public Schools; and Arlington Partnership for Children, Youth, and Families.

Spring of Life Wellness Center - Increasing Access to HIV/AIDS Health Information Using Electronic Media (Riverdale, MD)
The Spring of Life Wellness Center (SOLWC) is a nonprofit community health organization founded in 1995 under the auspices of the Refreshing Spring Church of God in Christ (RSCOGIC). The center fills a void in providing preventive and clinical healthcare to the residents of Prince George's County who lack health insurance or who are underinsured. The Spring of Life Wellness Health Information Center currently provides the community with private computer workstations, volunteer assistance in searching the Internet for health information, and health information brochures. Through this project, the SOLWC will 1) purchase a computer workstation, 2) provide a stipend to support staff, and 3) offer HIV/AIDS health education classes and health information database training on HIV/AIDS resources.

DOCLINE 2.3 Release Notes
DOCLINE 2.3 allows Libraries using OCLC ILLiad resource sharing management software to use the ISO ILL Protocol to communicate between ILLiad and DOCLINE. See details below.
DOCLINE
Requests
Borrow: Requests routed to ISO libraries will be automatically received.
Receipts: If the borrowing library is an ISO library, the DOCLINE receipt will include an ISO transaction number: “ISO Borrower Ref # 1114” (for example).
Help
Help screens and FAQs were added or modified for all new features or changes to DOCLINE 2.3.
Loansome Doc
For the Loansome Doc User
Changed email address to be a required field during registration and user account updates in preparation for planned migration to email address as LD user's login name
Added prompt for email address during ordering if no email address is in user record
ISO ILL Protocol
For Libraries using OCLC ILLiad
The DOCLINE interface is used to update your institution record and search institutions, view the current status of requests and view the routing history, update and search serial holdings, or view DOCLINE reports.
Borrow
Borrowing requests are sent directly from the ILLiad client to the DOCLINE server for processing and routing. DOCLINE does not need to be open to send requests.
All patron administration and request management, such as unfilled and overdue processing, can be done from the ILLiad client.
Lend
Lending requests arrive in the ILLiad client automatically receipted in DOCLINE. DOCLINE does not need to be open to receive or complete requests. DOCLINE will send alerts to the ILLiad client for requests that have not been acted upon or have expired. Note: The same rules for action on requests apply. See the FAQ How Does "Time Triggered Actions" Work at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/doc_time_triggered_actions.html
Status
ISO Libraries will have an "ISO Status" screen to view the current status of pending requests and to view the routing history of their requests.
DOCLINE Electronic Delivery Etiquette
Please consider the following steps that libraries can take to address some of the common e-delivery issues raised on the list:
-
Work with your IT people to ensure that ILL emails are not rejected as spam. NLM suggests that libraries use standard language in the subject line (e.g. "DOCLINE Request Number: 12345678" ) so borrowers can configure their spam rules to allow messages with this type of language in the subject line. Make sure that attachments containing document files (.pdf, .tif, etc.) are not blocked by your mail server.
Mailbox size limits can be a real obstacle to delivery by email attachment. Consider requesting web delivery instead of email delivery. With web delivery, the borrower receives only a small text message containing a URL. The document is then downloaded from the lender via this URL. Availability of the web delivery method should be indicated in the lending library's DOCLINE profile.
Another solution to file size constraints is to request Ariel delivery, which transfers documents directly from the lender's Ariel station to the borrower's Ariel station via FTP. Ariel can also deliver post-to-web from the borrowing library to the end user (patron).
Your printer driver may have an "edge-to-edge printing" option that can allow more of the scanned image to print than would otherwise be the case. This is especially useful when printing from Ariel stations to laser printers, since Ariel currently does not allow page margins to be changed when printing.
Finally, we would like to remind everyone of the NLM Delivery Method field in the DOCLINE request form. The NLM Delivery Method is independent of the Network Delivery Method, so it does not affect network routing in any way. Due to our high volume, NLM determines a request's delivery method according to this field alone - regardless of any instructions in the Notes field.
NLM encourages the use of electronic delivery whenever possible. For more information about e-delivery from NLM, please see our flyer at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/psd/cas/GETITFASTER_8.pdf

DOCLINE-- ISO ILL Protocol Issues http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/doc_iso_ill_issues.html
What issues should my library consider when deciding whether to use the Protocol with DOCLINE? The answer comes in several particulars, please look at borrowing as an ISO DOCLINE library, lending as an ISO DOCLINE library, as well as receiving patron requests as an ISO DOCLINE library, and, of course, changes specific to ILLiad 6.5 and DOCLINE 2.3.
For DOCLINE -- ISO ILL Protocol and Loansome Doc, please see: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/services/doc_iso_ill_LD.html
The ILLiad vendor, Atlas, has not released the DOCLINE ISO component of ILLiad 6.5 yet, but I think they are going to have it out by the end of November.
Batch update functionality http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so04/so04_doc_oclc.html
Libraries that have holdings in both DOCLINE and OCLC should print and review the article published in the September-October issue of the "NLM Technical Bulletin".
-
EFTS has announced a new website https://efts.uchc.edu and a newsletter.
The newsletter has an article about the new Online Transaction File capability which is proving very helpful for libraries that do not use
QuickDOC, Clio, or ILLiad. Using the Online Transaction File capability, a library can enter data on interlibrary loan charges. Check out the new website and look for the newsletter on it!

Setting the Agenda for Research on Cultural Competence in Health Care examines the evidence on the impact of cultural competence interventions on the delivery of health care and health outcomes. A joint product of the HHS Office of Minority Health and AHRQ, Setting the Agenda explores what we know and what we need to know about culturally sensitive interventions (e.g., cultural competence education and training), language assistance (e.g., oral interpretation), and organizational supports for cultural competence (e.g., cultural competence self-assessments). The report also identifies opportunities for future research. At http://www.ahrq.gov/research/cultural.htm there is an overview of the report. Print copies of the full report can be ordered from the Office of Minority Health Resource Center by sending an e-mail to info@omhrc.gov.
New AHRQ Bioterrorism Issue Brief Available
AHRQ released a new issue brief on education and training efforts that are used to create and maintain the readiness of a qualified workforce to respond to a sudden increased demand in the need for health care (surge capacity) to respond to a bioterrorism event or other public health emergency. This issue brief summarizes presentations from AHRQ's Web-assisted audioconference on education and training initiatives sponsored by CDC and HRSA and examines two AHRQ-funded studies to develop noncontiguous, Web-based, and face-to-face training modules. http://www.ahrq.gov/news/ulp/btbriefs/btbrief7.htm is the issue brief.
