Try adjusting the default bottom page margin to 0.50″. You can also adjust the top, left, and right margin settings if needed. In Internet Explorer 7.x, from the printer icon on the command bar, select page setup. In Internet Explorer 6.x and Firefox 2.x, select file, page setup.

Note: You may be limited by your printer as to how small you can make the margins.

Try adjusting the text size smaller. (View, text size)

Another fix involved installing the barcode font. The barcode prints in less vertical space than the ‘text only’ equivalent. See instructions for downloading the barcode font at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/doclinebarcodes_withheader.html, or click on the help link at the top of the DOCLINE screen.

If only the browser footer prints on the second page, you can modify the header and footer settings to remove either or both. In Internet Explorer 7.x, from the printer icon on the command bar, select page setup. In Internet Explorer 6.x, select file, page setup. Delete the entries in the header and footer fields. In Firefox, select file, page setup. Click on the margins and header/footer tab and then click in the header and footer fields and select –blank– using the pull down arrow.

The Electronic Fund Transfer System (EFTS) is a transaction-based electronic billing system for interlibrary-loan (ILL) and document delivery. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is committed to working with the University of Connecticut Health Center (UCHC) EFTS staff to expand the system on a national basis to National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) member libraries.

One hundred nineteen health sciences libraries in the Southeastern Atlantic region use EFTS for processing payment of inter-library loan transactions. With 1,246 members across the nation, EFTS effectively centralizes this activity by electronically billing participants. It also reduces the need for participating libraries to create invoices and to write checks for reimbursement of interlibrary loans and document delivery.

Other advantages of participation include monthly detailed transaction reports, the ability to handle charges for rush or fax service, the ability to vary charges to members of special groups, and the ability to handle non-DOCLINE transactions.

Benefits of EFTS

• Reduces Costs
• Improves Cash Flow
• Reduces Human Error
• Increases Efficiency
• Provides Management Reports

The new Health Care Notification Network system was created by Medem of San Francisco, California. It is supported by a group of pharmaceuticals, insurance firms, organizations, and medical centers, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Aetna, J and J, as well as the American College of Surgeons, among others (full list at http://www.hcnn.net/docs/HCNNSupporters.pdf). The network will be using email to quickly disseminate time sensitive drug safety alert information to health care professionals.

• HCNN replaces the current, paper-based alerts sent to physicians and other healthcare providers via U.S. mail.
• Alerts include medication recalls, warnings and national public health emergencies.
• HCNN fulfills new FDA guidance for electronic communication of patient safety notification and is supported by medical liability carriers, U.S. medical societies, national patient advocacy groups, health plans and many other national healthcare organizations that are dedicated to improved patient safety.
• HCNN protects healthcare provider privacy. No email addresses will be sold or disclosed to any third parties.

Registration for U.S. physicians and other health care providers is available immediately at http://www.hcnn.net. For more information about the HCNN and online patient safety Alert services, see http://www.hcnn.net.

DOCLINE 3.3 introduces several new features for our users. In order to best utilize these features, please review the following list of suggested action items for libraries now that DOCLINE 3.3 is available.Click Help in the DOCLINE menu to access the updated online manual.

Click FAQ to view the updated Frequently Asked Questions.

Email Notification: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/release_note_images/v3_3/email_notice.jpg

Libraries now have the option of being notified by email each time a new request routes to their library. Libraries have the option of choosing to receive email notification by request type - Normal, Rush, and/or Urgent Patient Care depending upon their request volume and workflow. For example, Resource Libraries may choose to receive email notification only for new Urgent Patient Care and Rush requests, but not for Normal requests. Smaller hospital libraries may choose to receive notification for all request types.

Libraries may wish to consider using a shared email account so notifications are not missed during staff absences. The email notification is sent from the address docline@mail.nlm.nih.gov. If email messages from DOCLINE are sent to your Junk Mail folder, please contact your local email administrator to have DOCLINE email directed to your Inbox.

To configure email notification, go to Institutions, Update Select DOCLINE Options, Scroll down to Lending Preferences, Select which request type(s) for which toreceive notifications, Enter email address where email notification should be sent, Click Save

Out of Office: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/release_note_images/v3_3/ooo_planner.jpg

DOCLINE 3.3 introduces a new way to request “temporary inactive” status in DOCLINE that prevents requests from routing to your library during times of extended staff absence or special circumstances. The new Out of Office request in DOCLINE provides a more efficient mechanism for your Regional Medical Library to review and process “temporary inactive” requests.

To temporarily deactivate your participation in DOCLINE, go to Institution Update. Complete the form on the Out of Office page and click Request Approval. Once the dates are approved by your Regional Medical Library, DOCLINE requests will not route to your institution during the specified time period.

Libraries can submit one absence period at a time. Once the library becomes active again, the library can submit the next Out of Office request.

Serial Holdings Reports: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/docline/release_note_images/v3_3/create_report.jpg

The interface for requesting and viewing serial holdings reports has been revised in DOCLINE 3.3. Libraries may wish to take this opportunity to review the reports that are available to help them keep their holdings records current. For information on the available reports, see the online manual. In DOCLINE, click Help. Go to the “Generating Serial Holdings Reports” topic in the table of contents, and then click the “Serial Holdings Report Overview” topic

The NLM Technical Bulletin article, “EFTS and DOCLINE® Assist Libraries with Billing”, describes the File Builder processes in DOCLINE that make it easier for EFTS libraries to generate a file of charge data to send to EFTS for processing. As seen below, it is available via a tab on members’ DOCLINE screens.

You can move passed transactions for which you do not want to charge (perhaps a library with which you have a reciprocal agreement) or you can add the specific amount when you do want to charge.

The National Library of Medicine encourages all libraries to consider joining EFTS to reduce ILL costs and labor and to eliminate waiting for checks to be issued and payments to be received. Join those using this efficient way to pay for requests received.

If you have any questions about joining or using EFTS, please contact Beth Wescott at your Regional Medical Library or contact EFTS directly.

EFTS Transaction File Builder

Creates a transaction file for submission to EFTS, then you enter charges for requests from EFTS borrowers. Enter charges in US dollars for items to be included in EFTS file. Enter “0″ if request is not to be billed.

A message from Stuart J. Nelson, MD, Head, Medical Subject Headings Section, National Library of Medicine:

The National Library of Medicine has decided to discontinue the printing of the Index Medicus Supplement, sometimes known as the Black and White MeSH. We have received a great number of comments on this proposal, and are grateful for the input. Overall, it appears that our impression that few would be inconvenienced by the discontinuation of the printed edition was correct. Given the high cost of printing even a few copies of the book, we do not see the benefit as justifying the expense. For those wishing a souvenir copy, the 2007 MeSH will continue to be available from the Government Printing Office for another 14 months.

In response to concerns expressed by several individuals, we plan to make available a set of PDF files containing the various hierarchies.

These will be formatted in such a way as to make printing them on 81/2 by 11 inch paper feasible, enabling a user to print out and review an entire tree easily.

We encourage all to avail themselves of the resources available at www.nlm.nih.gov/mesh. There is a considerable amount of printable introductory material, information about how we update MEDLINE, as well as links to downloadable files and the MeSH browser. The PDF files of the trees will also be available there.

The current MeSH files are available for download, in one of three different formats. Furthermore, the browser at the MeSH website provides ready access to the current version of MeSH. The browser supports partial word searches of three letters or more, and provides many links between related terms. As is our practice, all of these services and files will remain free of charge.
Once again, we wish to express our gratitude for the many comments received.
