The Library's Mission 
The National Library of Medicine assists in the 
advancement of medical and related sciences through 
the collection, dissemination, and exchange of 
information important to the progress of medicine 
and the public health.  The Library serves as a 
national information resource for research, health 
care, the education of health professionals, and 
service activities of Federal and private agencies, 
organizations, institutions, and individuals.


 
The Scope of the NLM Collection 
NLM's collection is intended to serve the 
information needs of U.S. health professionals, but 
access to information in the collection is available 
world wide.  The Library comprehensively collects 
the world's substantive biomedical publications to 
support its mission.  Although the importance of 
consumer health information is recognized, and the 
public may use the Library's information services, 
the Library does not collect information that is 
written for the public.

 OMIM Available Through NCBI's WWW Service 
 
	On December 1, 1995, responsibility for 
providing public access to the Online Mendelian 
Inheritance in Man (OMIM) database was transferred 
from the Genome Data Bank (GDB) at The Johns Hopkins 
University (JHU) to NLM's National Center for 
Biotechnology Information. 
 
	OMIM is a continuously updated catalog of human 
genes and genetic disorders.  It will continue to be 
authored and edited in the Center for Medical 
Genetics at JHU, under the direction of Dr. Victor 
McKusick, with computer support from NCBI. 
 
	NCBI encourages access to OMIM through the 
World Wide Web (WWW), at the URL 
http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/omim/.  The WWW service 
introduces new features that link OMIM entries to 
NCBI's Entrez system, providing links to DNA and 
protein sequences and to selected MEDLINE abstracts.  
In addition, Entrez's powerful "neighboring" feature 
for locating similar records has been applied to 
OMIM, allowing users to expand their bibliographic 
searches at the touch of a button.  OMIM's gene map, 
including clinical phenotypes, is searchable and can 
be viewed in tabular form. 
 
	OMIM is also accessible through NCBI's RETRIEVE 
electronic mail server, at the address 
retrieve@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov.  For documentation, send 
the word HELP to the server address. 
 
	Users who previously had accounts to search 
OMIM through the IRX search system at GDB can obtain 
a new account for this service at NCBI.  This 
approach is only recommended, however, for users who 
are unable to use the WWW. 
 
	If you are interested in obtaining a copy of 
the OMIM database for local use, it is available for 
downloading from NCBI's anonymous FTP site 
(ncbi.nlm.nih.gov) in the /repository/OMIM 
directory. 
 
	For additional information, contact NCBI by 
phone (301/496-2475) or email 
(info@ncbi.nlm.nih.gov). 
 
****************************************************
 
File Health + File HSTAR = HealthSTAR 
 
	In 1996, the Health Planning & Administration 
database (Health) and the Health Services/Technology 
Assessment Research  database (HSTAR) will be merged 
into one database, HealthSTAR (Health Services, 
Technology, Administration, and Research).  The 
database will contain nearly 2.5 million citations 
from a variety of materials_journal articles, 
monographs, conference papers, government reports, 
book chapters, newspaper articles, etc._on such 
topics as health care administration, economics, 
planning, and policy, as well as health services 
research, clinical practice guidelines, and health 
care technology assessment.   
 
	File Health began in 1977 as a cooperative 
venture between the NLM and the American Hospital 
Association (AHA).  HSTAR was begun in 1994 by the 
Library's National Information Center on Health 
Services Research and Health Care Technology 
(NICHSR).  The new database HealthSTAR will 
incorporate the subject scopes of both of its 
parents.  It is expected  that HealthSTAR will be 
available in March 1996.  Technical details about 
the new database may be found in the NLM Technical 
Bulletin for November-December 1995. 
 
	Direct-search users may access HealthSTAR by 
typing File Health, File HSTAR, or File HealthSTAR 
at the USER: prompt.  Grateful Med users may access 
the new merged database by choosing either the 
Health or the HSTAR selections from the "Search 
Other Databases" menu. 
 
	The Hospital and Health Administration Index, 
formerly the Hospital Literature Index, will be 
derived from HealthSTAR and continue to be published 
by the AHA.  
 
	For more information: contact NLM's NICHSR at 
301/435-2241 or email nichsr@nlm.nih.gov  Or contact 
the AHA Resource Center at 312/422-2009, email

Goldstein Retires, Headed Information Technology 
Branch 
 
	Charles M. Goldstein, chief of the Information 
Technology Branch in NLM's Lister Hill National 
Center for Biomedical Communications, recently 
retired after 21 years at the Library. 
 
	Formerly chief of the Scientific Computing 
Branch at NASA's Lewis Research Center, Mr. 
Goldstein joined NLM in 1974 where he was 
responsible for establishing applied R&D programs in 
the areas of library and information science and 
computer-based educational technology. 
 
	Mr. Goldstein directed the establishment of the 
NLM Learning Resources Laboratory (LRL). The LRL 
provided a "window to the world" of computer-based 
educational technology and was the forerunner of 
NLM's Learning Center for Interactive Technology. 
 
	Most recently, he led the team which developed, 
under the auspices of the Agency for Health Care 
Policy and Research, the Full-Text Retrieval System 
(FTRS) that supports  HSTAT (Health 
Services/Technology Assessment Text).  HSTAT is an 
initial step towards more user-friendly, integrated 
access to the full text of clinical practice 
guidelines, as well as other government 
publications, in the context of a MEDLINE search or 
a computer-based patient record system. 
 
	Among other major program efforts under his 
direction were the IRx (Information Retrieval 
Experiment), which later became FTRS; the ILS 
(Integrated Library System);  the ATS (Advanced 
Terminal System) for computer-based education; the 
Hepatitis Knowledge Base Delivery System; INPROC (In 
Process Control System) and RDES (Retrospective Data 
Entry System) for Library Operations; and projects 
involving the encoding of digital information on 
optical videodiscs. 
 
	During his tenure at NLM, Mr. Goldstein 
received numerous awards for his leadership as well 
as for his pioneering research & development 
activities.  He was presented with the National 
Institutes of Health Director's Award "for 
leadership of a nationally recognized program to 
explore and develop innovative computer applications 
for libraries and computer-based education."  He 
received the NLM Board of Regents Award and the 
Medical Library Association's Rogers Award for his 
work on the Integrated Library System.  He was also 
co-recipient of the MLA Rogers Award for his work on 
the Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man project--an 
interdisciplinary model involving academic scholars, 
librarians, and publishers in the application of new 
technical tools to knowledge management. 
 
	His many friends and co-workers honored Mr. 
Goldstein at a dinner on January 5 and wished him 
well in his retirement.

Public Health, Demography, and American Medicine: 
A Symposium in Honor of James Cassedy 
 
	Public Health, Demography, and American 
Medicine, a symposium recognizing James H. Cassedy's 
contributions to the history of medicine, will be 
held at the National Library of Medicine on 
Wednesday afternoon, May 22, 1996.  
 
	Dr. Cassedy, an NLM staff member since 1968, is 
one of this country's most distinguished historians 
of medicine.  In a series of books and in scores of 
articles he has explored the history of American 
medicine in general and the histories of public 
health and medical demography in particular.  Among 
his books are Charles V. Chapin and the Public 
Health Movement (1962), Demography in Early America: 
Beginnings of the Statistical Mind, 1600-1800 
(1969), American Medicine and Statistical Thinking, 
1800-1860 (1984), and American Medicine & American 
Growth, 1800-1860 (1986).  More recently, he 
published a widely used textbook, Medicine in 
America: A Short History (1991).  During 1982-83, 
Dr. Cassedy was president of the American 
Association for the History of Medicine; in 1978 he 
gave the Garrison Lecture at the Association's 
annual meeting; and in 1987 he won the Association's 
William H. Welch Medal for outstanding scholarly 
merit.  He is presently writing a book on John Shaw 
Billings and his contributions to public health and 
medical statistics.  [Photo] 
 
	Symposium speakers will include Philip D. 
Curtin (Johns Hopkins University), Caroline C. 
Hannaway (Historical Consultant, Baltimore, 
Maryland), Victoria A. Harden (National Institutes 
of Health), Alan M. Kraut (American University), and 
John L. Parascandola (Public Health Service).  Their 
presentations will focus on yellow fever in Senegal, 
AIDS in France and the United States, the 
development of a vaccine for yellow fever, Joseph 
Goldberger and pellagra, and the Public Health 
Service's use of motion pictures during the 1930s 
and 1940s. 
 
	A buffet will follow the conclusion of the 
symposium.  Admission to the symposium is free, but 
there will be a modest charge for the buffet. 
 
	The symposium is sponsored by the History of 
Medicine Division, the  
National Library of Medicine, the Washington Society 
for the History of Medicine, and the office of the 
Public Health Service Historian.  For further

Dan Richards Remembered 
 
	Daniel T. Richards, director of biomedical 
libraries at Dartmouth College and former collection 
development officer at the National Library of 
Medicine, died unexpectedly at his home in New 
Hampshire on December 9, a few days before his 
fiftieth birthday.  
 
	Mr. Richards was well known in the library 
community, particularly for his contributions to 
biomedical collection development.  In 1985 he 
chaired the organizing committee for the MLA 
Postconference on Collection Development in Health 
Sciences Libraries, the first national meeting 
devoted to the topic.  In 1989 he was awarded the 
second Louise Darling Medal for Distinguished 
Achievement in Collection Development in the Health 
Sciences.  The award cited his leadership in 
establishing the Collection Development Section of 
MLA as well as his key role in the development of 
the Research Libraries Group Medical and Health 
Sciences Conspectus.  During his tenure as 
collection development officer at NLM from 1988 to 
1991, he played a leading role in the development of 
the most recent edition of the Collection 
Development Manual of the National Library of 
Medicine (1993) and in assessing the quality of the 
Library's collection through a number of studies. 
 
	A 1967 graduate of the University of Maine, Mr. 
Richards earned his master's degree in library 
sciences at the University of Wisconsin. After a 
year as a reference librarian at Brown University, 
he came to NLM as a library associate in 1970-71.  
During the next ten years he held a variety of 
professional positions at the UCLA biomedical 
library.  These included head of acquisitions and 
collection development officer.  From 1981 to  1988 
he served as assistant health sciences librarian for 
resources and reference services at Columbia 
University. 
 
	His professional activities were legion. An 
enthusiastic member of MLA, he was elected to the 
Board of Directors in 1993, chaired the Collection 
Development Section in 1986, and also found time to 
participate in the History of the Health Sciences 
Section, the Hospital Libraries Section, the Medical 
School Libraries Section, the Research Libraries 
Section and the Technical Services Section.  He was 
active in the American Library Association, the 
Society for Electronic Access to Information , the 
American Association for the History of Medicine, 
the Council of Biology Editors, the Friends of the 
Dartmouth College Library and the Friends of the 
National Library of Medicine. 
 
	Mr. Richards was the author or co-author of 
numerous books and papers. His most recent 
publication (with co-author Dottie Easkin)--
Collection Development and Assessment in Health 
Sciences Libraries, volume 4 of Current Practice in 
Health Sciences Librarianship--is in press. 
 
	His last assignment for NLM was in November as 
a member of the site visit team for the current 
National Network of Libraries of Medicine contract 
procurement.  NLM Library Operations Associate 
Director Lois Ann Colaianni, who also served on the 
team, remembers Dan not only as a librarian "who 
made substantial contributions to his chosen 
profession," but also as a "wonderfully warm, 
enthusiastic human being with wide ranging interests 
in the arts--the fine arts as well as the culinary."  
Characteristically he "arranged for the team to have 
dinner in a fine Italian restaurant where he 
described his plans for a European tour to celebrate 
his half century of living."  His friends at NLM 
join others throughout the medical library community 
in mourning his death and celebrating his life.

Russian Health Officials Visit NLM 
 
	In late 1995, NLM hosted a visit by a high-
level Russian Federation health delegation. Headed 
by Dr. Eduard Aleksandrovich Nechayev, the Minister 
of Health,  the delegation visited Federal health 
officials in Washington, D.C., and Atlanta, Georgia, 
including the National Institutes of Health and the 
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.  Dr. 
Nechayev was accompanied by his wife and three 
senior officials from the Russian Ministry of Health 
and Medical Industry. 
 
	At NIH, the visitors toured the Clinical Center 
and had discussions on disease prevention and health 
promotion with officials of the National Heart, 
Lung, and Blood Institute, the National Institute of 
Child Health and Human Development, the National 
Cancer Institute, and the Fogarty International 
Center.  
 
	At the NLM, Dr. Elliot Siegel, associate 
director for health information programs 
development, organized a program that involved an 
introduction to the Library by Dr. Harold M. 
Schoolman, NLM deputy director for research and 
education, a presentation on telemedicine and the 
Visible Human project by Dr. Michael Ackerman, 
assistant director for High Performance Computing 
and Communications, and a demonstration of the new 
Internet Grateful Med program by Dr. Lawrence 
Kingsland, assistant director for applied 
informatics. The visitors also saw NLM's film, 
Pathways, in Russian. 
 
	There were discussions about the desirability 
of a MEDLARS Center in Russia, the need for a 
Russian translation of MeSH, and international 
access to NLM databases via the Internet (via 
Internet Grateful Med). 
 
	Before the visitors left, Robert Mehnert, NLM 
public information officer, toured the group around 
the Library.  Dr. Nechayev, who had commented while 
viewing images from the Visible Man that a 19th 
century Russian surgeon had drawn remarkably 
faithful anatomical images, was pleased when staff 
of the History of Medicine Division showed him a 
copy of that work while they were on tour.  The 
visit ended with a group photo on the front steps of 
NLM.

Former Regents Chalmers, Ebert, Die 
 
	The Library recently noted the passing of two 
distinguished former members of its Board of 
Regents, Dr. Thomas C. Chalmers and Dr. Robert H. 
Ebert. 
 
	Dr. Chalmers, an NLM Regent from 1978-79, was a 
pioneer in the analysis of clinical trials. He was 
director of the clinical center at the National 
Institutes of Health from 1970 to 1973.  From 1973 
to 1983 he was president and dean of Mt. Sinai 
Medical Center.  His work on the design, conduct, 
and interpretation of random clinical trials has 
been credited with improving the quality of life for 
millions of patients as well as for untold numbers 
of people trying to avoid disease.  He died at 78 on 
December 20 of prostate cancer in Lebanon, New 
Hampshire. 
 
	Dr. Ebert served on the NLM Board from 1967 to 
1971.  As dean of the Harvard Medical School, he was 
credited with guiding the school through turbulent 
times in the 1960s and 1970s, the years of war 
protests and changing directions in health care.  He 
founded the nation's first academic health 
maintenance organization, and was largely 
responsible for the organization's forming a 
foundation that would not only devote part of its 
annual surplus funds to financing research and 
teaching programs, but also to organize projects 
related to current community issues such as teenage 
pregnancies, violence, and AIDS.  He died on January 
29 of metastatic cancer in Boston. He was 81.
