Subject: ?Language barrier and basics in searching MEDLINE
Hello,
I am a visiting scholar from Ukraine. I am working on developing library
users educational programs related to key database searching skills for
Ukrainian health professionals. My audience has some special features:
- language barrier;
- most users lack basic skills in using a computer;
- a literal translation from the native language causes the end-user to
substitute commonly used terms that give a null result;
- they prefer textword searching rather than controlled-vocabulary
searching since they don't perfectly understand MeSH and the "mapping"
feature.
Please email me if you have any suggestions or materials I would be able
to use in my work.
Thank you,

Dear Irina,
I am a medical librarian currently working for the Lippinoctt Williams &
Wilkins publishing house. I am proficient in searching medical databases
and Russian is my native language. I also provide end-user training and
composed a few instructions on searching medical databases (particularly,
MEDLINE) for our users. I think, it would be helpful to provide Ukrainian
health professionals with the searching instruction in Russian (I don't
know
Ukrainian but I believe Russian would be helpful too). I believe the
instruction should emphasized a textword searching; it should include some
examples in English (with translation, probably) and a list of recommended
English-Russian dictionaries. I would be happy to help you with composing
such instructions. Please feel free to contact me directly.

If you have ANYTHING that you can share regarding searching MEDLINE in
Russian or Ukranina, I would love to have copies. Our internal medicine
residency has many residents from the former Soviet Union. Getting them

Subject: Summary EBSCO Databases
Thank you to all that responded regarding the evaluation of the EBSCO
databases. Below are the responses I received with no names included. I
was really wanting to like the products because of the price, but am
finding it rather difficult. I experienced some technical problems during
my trial such as not having the links to the full-text and trouble
printing their PDF documents. I am still looking at the products and may
just go with the health business database. I don't think that their
medline interface is better than PubMed. Here is what others thought. Are
EBSCO's databases better than PubMed? I am interested because of price
and availability of full text link--and even subscription
services---through the same vendor. However, I need to know about
customer service and reliability as well as product quality.
My only rationale so far is price. I can get EBSCOmed for a very
reasonable price. Basically for the same price I am currently paying for
my CD-ROM subscriptions through SilverPlatter and Ovid. And it would
cover the same databases (CINAHL, Medline, ClinPsyc, etc.) AND would add
the benefit of a lot of full-text e-journals that I don't currently get.
However, I've been trying out EBSCOmed (on the web) and am not crazy about
the interface. Not nearly as intuitive or easy as the Ovid and
SilverPlatter platforms (whether the web-based or CD-ROM interfaces). So,
I'm still up in the air.
We have Health Business from EBSCO and have been pleased with it.
However,
we much prefer access to CINAHL, Medline, and the Biomedical Full Text
journals via Ovid. Ovid too has cross linking to the full-text journals
and the databases. We find the search capabilities in Ovid superior to
EBSCO.
We have used the EBSCO databases for Health business, CINAHL and Medline.
We have found them very helpful and a big improvement over PubMed.
However, this is not OVID and not the state of the art delivery system.
The price is very reasonable, as you mentioned. Although our Doctors would
have preferred OVID, it was out of the question entirely for our 400 bed
General Hospital, financially speaking. I occasionally found some problems
with the technological aspects, but support system was very helpful, as
was Dan Boutchie, salesman at EBSCO. It was a positive experience for us.
Unfortunately, due to major "reengineering" changes, we are currently
stuck with PubMed only again. We are trying to get approval to reinstate
the above three databases with EBSCO. It would make my life much easier!
We shall see. I have been vague as we have not used EBSCO for over a year.
I do not now recall the problems we had in detail, but they were minor and
easily fixed, in retrospect.
In New Jersey EBSCO negotiated a statewide contract... but this does not
include all the databases that you mentioned. We, have access to
additional paid databases such as Health Source Plus and Health Business
Plus. Health Source Plus is useful for its full-text articles. Health
Business is not as good as their "Business Source Plus". Alt-Health is
useful since it is devoted exclusively to complementary and
out-of-mainstream medicine/health topics.
We also have access through a state funded project. I find their Medline
awful, but maybe it is just me. Also the rep came recently to demo the
program and as usual Murphy's Law struck and it wouldn't work for her. I
haven't heard anything negative in awhile, but I do understand in the past
there were problems with not being able to connect, etc. If I had the
money, I would much rather invest it in OVID, but that's just my 2 cents
worth.
We have Medline with full text, CINAHL, and Health Business full text and
find them user friendly and very useful. I conduct the majority of my
searches in the first two rather than Medline's own web page unless I need
refined indexing. EbscoHost doesn't permit searching by volume or page
number which Medline's web does.
So far, having had their collection for 2 years, we may look into
expanding by including Alt-Health. End users like the front end and the
full text availability. Their administrative module is also useful since
you can determine the number of searches you performed as well as the
number of full text articles you downloaded. The latter is particularly
useful to show the cost offset and savings from downloading text vis a vis
ILL.

Subject: Summary: How to pitch Stat!ref
I received three very positive responses about Stat!Ref (copied below).
And using it myself on a trial, I think it is so intuitive and simple.
I'm
convinced! I didn't officially get approval for the money yet, but no one
has raised an objection. Just mentioning that it will give housewide
access
to ICD-9 codes and the AHFS Red Book makes people quickly interested.
Thank you to those who responded!
__________________________
I'm probably StatRef's biggest fan.
Strengths: easy search interface
Can do simple searches or proximity searching, as well as full nested
boolean
You can limit searches to one book or to several
Customer support is great.
Everyone is so gung-ho about MD consult, but I find it cumbersome to use
(too much going on on the screen) and it has poor search results.
__________________________
We've been providing browser-based access Stat!Ref for about three
years, and it is one of our most popular resources (along with Ovid
Medline and MD Consult). For most of that time we ran the intranet
(but browser-based) version, which we had to mount on a local webserver.
That was less than ideal, especially when upgrades had to be made. We now
use the hosted version, which is wonderful. We have all the benefits of
the contents, without the hassle of local mounting.
Our students and residents absolutely love it (although I haven't noticed
nurses using it). In fact, use has been so heavy that we're seriously
considering upping the user license. The content is the biggest selling
point, and the drug information is really the content that separates it
from comparable products. Some librarians have mentioned that the lack of
precise Medline- or Dialog-style is a drawback, but I think the bottom
line is that users love it.
___________________________
In my opinion, MD Consult is still the #1 game in town for medical
students and residents in terms of coverage, but the titles of Stat!REF
complement and don't duplicate it. It's also very affordable. Drug info,
Lange series, a few select respected medical texts. Those are the things
you can get. Medical Letter, unfortunately, is no longer available to any
intermediary, per decision of the publisher. I'm not sure that this
product has too much of interest for nurses. ____________________________

JoAnn:
We have the Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia. The above isn't listed therein.
The two closest are Dioscoreinum, now known as Dioscorein, and Dulcamara,
now known as Solanum dulcamara L.
In the botanical dictionary I'm consulting there are no plant names
beginning with Dar that are even remotely close. I also checked plant
names beginning with Dor, since handwritten a's and o's are easily
confused.
Since homeopathic remedies are largely based upon botanicals, I turned to
one of our plant dictionaries. I'm wondering if your patron is taking
something based upon a species in one of the following genuses: Dracaena,
Dracontium, or Dracunulus.
There is also a plant called Dackowar Grasstree, official name
Xanthorrhoea arborea, which lives in Australia, so probably not.

Subject: Embase
Dear colleagues,
Embase is not so much the "equivalent" of Medline, but a competitor in
the field, from a commercial publisher (a division of Elsevier).
Embase is stronger in European sources, covering more European languages
and journals. Embase has a good coverage of pharmacology and
pharmaceutical information, is better in psychiatry than Medline and
covers hardly any nursing.
For the high impact journals there is hardly any difference between
Medline, Current Contents Life Sciences/Clinical Medicine, BIOSIS and
Embase. Main difference is the indexing, which sometimes let you
retrieve references in one database and not in the other, although they
exist in that database.

Our web people are contemplating putting LaurusHealth
http://www.laurushealth.com on our hospital web page. I would push for
MedlinePlus.
I have looked at the Laurus site which is sponsored by a VHA [Inc.] group
of hospitals and doctors. It resembles a consumer-information site;
however, you may also search for a doctor or hospital here. I searched and
although I live within walking distance of my place of employment my
hospital was not listed nor a doctor. My nasty mind says this is
advertisement and that the consumer information is secondary to promotion
of the VHA [inc.] hospitals. The nearest hospital found in my search was a
member of the VHA [Inc.] group and NOT in the zip code I specified for my
search. Why our web-design people would want to include this site on our
hospital web page is beyond me unless our hospital was to become a member
of the VHA group. Anyhow -- is anyone out there using this site for
consumer information or directing their patients to it????? Would
appreciate any feedback, Dale.

Interesting. I just tried the same search. Fort Wayne has 3 major
hospitals. Only those in the Parkview Health System showed up in a 50 mile
radius, although two of the other hospitals (St. Joe and Lutheran) are
within 12 miles of me.
Another note: I used the search engine to look for alzheimers (with the s)
and there were no results. You have to specify alzheimer (without the s).
This is not consumer friendly.
Also, in April, Exelon (Rivastigmine Tartrate) was approved by the FDA as
a treatment for mild to moderate Alzheimer's. This is not listed in the
patient information on possible treatments for Alzheimer's. Their source
is Healthwise, Inc.
If you search for Alzheimer, there are many results, including news about
the new drug in the news section, along with 10's of other results.
If you search specifically for Exelon, it comes up in the "Drugs on the
Horizon" section, and in the "news" section. However, it is not in the
Drugs
section.
NOTE: I am testing several websites for this kind of information on
currency. NONE of the sites yet tested incorporate the news of the drug
approval into their general information about the disease, although most
do have it in their news. Tieing news and background information together
is easier in some than in others.
There are several other consumer health sites that are available, besides
Laurus. You may want to offer your web folks alternatives to test against
Laurus.

Our hospital has a link to laurushealth from our website. We are a VHA
hospital, so we come up if you do a hospital search, but none of our
doctors show up on a physician search even those whose practices are owned
by the hospital. We got around this by including a link to our own
physician finder in on the Laurushealth page. They have decent consumer
health information, but I wanted to go with links to Medlineplus,
Healthfinder, Noah, etc. That is what I recommend to consumers. The
decision to go with them was a marketing decision, it certainly wasn't an

Faulkner & Grey -- it's also slow. We run on a fast
