Subject: Sewn or glued binding?
We have always had our journals bound by the sewn method. Last summer we
sent a few titles to a binder who glues (just because this very nice
salesman came to call on us). We love the glued volumes! They are so
much easier to photocopy because they lay flat, and less paper is cut off
so there is a bigger margin at the spine.
So should we have all our journals glued from now on? I am hestitating
because:
--sewn is so solid, so traditional, so guaranteed to last
--we have used the same binder for many years. I'll feel terrible leaving
them for an unknown.
--do we know that glued binding will last?
The price of the two binders is only a few pennies different.
The Medlib-L archives had only a couple postings on this in 1998. Does
anyone have any advice now? Thank you!

Subject: Glued vs. sewn -- summary
Many thanks for the emails and phone call on whether to switch from sewn
to glued binding.
The conclusion, very simply, is sewn is better. No matter how many
promises the gluing binder makes about how their work won't fall apart,
eventually pages will come loose. If you don't copy much, or don't plan
to keep the journals long, glued might be alright because it's cheaper and
the volumes lay flat. Two other down sides to glue--bugs like it, and it
weakens when exposed to heat.
But here is another option -- Susan in Seattle says her journals are fan
bound, which is supposed to be sturdier than plain gluing, and they lay
flat. When I got to checking, I discovered that fan binding is what our
new binder does. The pages are glued on both sides on a width of 1/64
inch.
I'm fortunate to have options in binding, nice reps with good prices and
good service for either sewn or fan binding. A couple of you mentioned
that glued binding was the only kind available in your area. There are 29
binders in the country who are certified by the Library Binding Institute.
A list can be found at http://www.lbibinders.org/about/members.html. I
hope these 29 stay around. I think we're going to have paper journals to
preserve for a long time yet.
I've decided to use both binders--continue with sewn for journals with
plenty of margin, and use fan binding for journals with tight margins.

Subject: A Hospital Vice-President's Proposal--Need your comments
One of our vice presidents (a different division than mine) is proposing
that our hospital create a new physicians' lounge with state of the art
electronic equipment. In tandem, he envisions a separate area of
computers for patients and their families to use. He would like to have
both areas staffed by librarians. He would like these librarians
(additional staff) to be cross-trained so that they could also assist
physicians who have trouble with the hospital's medical record/lab
programs. Both areas involve only electronic resources.
These areas would be administratively part of the hospital library, which
is one floor away.
I would appreciate your comments on this proposal. Do you see a role/need
for a librarian in these areas? Does anyone have a public computer
center in a hospital for patients/families l which is physically separate
from the library? Do you see any challenges that might arise?
Thanks.

Subject: Hospital Vice-President's Proposal--Summary Long
Medlibbers
Thank you all for your comments and sharing of experience. For your
information, no decision has been reached on this proposal.
Here is a summary of the replies I received:
"In a utopian world your VP has a good idea. What it wil get down to is
you doing the running because they will not fund someone to do this."
"We do have a Doctors' Loung that has an internet PC. They don't need me.
They are very literate."
"How many computers? When he says librarian, is he asking for an MLS
prepared individual? What about having added librarians in the library
who are on all to assist people in a consumer area if they have difficulty
using the knowledge based resources?"
"If he is serious about hiring real MLS librarians in adddition to your
current staff and including in the high tech equipment fax or Ariel links
to your central library, I think it could be a terrific service."
"What an opportunity! Yes, yest having a librarian staff these areas
would be great! Also includes a helpful explanation of her specific
situtation.
"I would jump on it if one of my administrators suggested this idea. More
staff, more access, more visibility, broader power base, more $$$."
"it is my opinion that the duty of providing computer assistance to
patient familites would best be handled by young, part-time staff, muchs
a computer lab at a college might offer. You do not need a professional
librarian available to explain to people that the password they created
for Hotmail realy must be eight characters long."
"Maybe the patient ed area could be staffed by a librarian..The resources
could be better used on expanding existing materials in the library
itself. The physician loung idea sounds like something a cross trained
library assistant/medical records tech could handle...possibly overkill of
both the services of the library and medical records for the convenience
of just a few physicians. This idea may sound good at first, bu is most
likely to be cut at the first sign of budget trouble."
"I sure would not want to do this without some print to fall back on."
"Doctors will not like sharing an area with patients and families."
"At firsr glance, it sounds like the VP is proposing to set up a duplicate
library with some medical records functions tacked on..political/space
reasons...?
"It is great that the VP even thinks of a librarian at all."
"Hey, can I apply for a job there? Sounds great!"
"Sounds like an odd use of personnel to hang out in a doctor's lounge all
day.

Subject: Historial Collections in Hospital Libraries
Good morning, Medlibbers -
I am looking for librarians who have experience with historical (or just
plain old) book collections.
It looks as though this year, I will finally have some time to deal with a
collection of old books housed in our glass cases. My problem is, I have
no training or experience in archiving or in old books. My local medical
school no longer has an archivist to help me.
I inherited this collection, and it's now something of an embarrassment. I
don't know if these books are Rare or just Old Stuff Nobody Ever Threw
Away. Can anyone point me in the right direction to start assessing the
value of these books?
Thanks in advance for any tips and assistance -

Perhaps the best place to start assessing the intellectual value of the
books is to see how many of them are listed in "Morton's Medical
Bibliograpy : an annotated check-list of texts illustrating the history of
medicine", edited by Jeremy Norman, 5th edition, 1991, ISBN 0-85967-897-0.
This will let you know how important they are to medicine. The other thing
I tend to look for is if the books are related to your geographical area
or not. Are they by someone who worked in the hospital for example, or did
they belong to a former member of staff? As far as monetary value goes,
check Bibliofind, http://www.bibliofind.com, which will give you some idea
of what the books are being sold for (if anything!!!). Can you get a
senior member of the medical/nursing staff interested? My experience is
that senior doctors become interested in the history of medicine, and they
might be a source of information for you.
If you have any more specific questions, please let me know.

Subject: new computer lab rules
Hi all and Happy New Year,
I'm looking for any advice, warnings, hindsight insight, examples, etc. We
are, as I write this, upgrading our computer lab. I have to come up with
new rules and regulations for this lab.
THE GOOD:
We will have a computer classroom with 12 computers. All will be hooked up
to a communal printer. All will have Internet access and CD-ROM
capabilities. (The Internet access will be by password and we will be able
to track who is doing what - but not until after the fact.)
THE BAD: The lab is located down the hall and through a set of closed
double doors from the library. Basically I can't see who is coming and
going. I won't be able to see what is being accessed or how much paper is
being used for printing. Also, the lab now has to be available for any
Jameson employee's use, not just for our students and faculty. Also, I
will not be able to monitor what disks are being put in the computer or
what is being downloaded.
THE UGLY:
I'm sensing a "give them and inch and they take a mile" mentality possibly
coming on. I can see this new lab being abused very quickly.
If anyone is willing to share with me a copy of their computer lab rules
and regs or if any of you have any advice on what has or has not worked
well for you, I'd really appreciate any input. I want to try to cover all
of the bases BEFORE we have a problem.
Thanks in advance and I'll summarize for anyone or for the list if you'd
like.

********** Why don't you try to rule the number of printings... ? I
mean... leave the communal printer, but put it where you can control what
is being printed... use a system to control number of printings (and
charge for it).... Put a window-door (glass door?) so you can see who is
in the computer lab, put a student with a schoolarship to control access
and jobs inside, and ask everyone to register (or, with the informatics
dept. ask while accessing the computer, a password to enter, so you can
have statistics on whom and when people accessed the computer..) Ask your
informatic department to set a process in each computer, so everybody can
work in the computers, but nobody could dowload programs in them
(pornography is not so easy to control, so...)
********* How about having login ids and passwords for each person
permitted to access it?
******
Check out the Library Web Manager's Reference Center section on public
access measures. Here you will find links to info on access policies,
security software, print managers, session monitors, etc.
<http://sunsite.berkeley.edu/Web4Lib/RefCenter/>
****** If your printer is LAN-based, you can set the printer in the
library. Patrons would have to come to the library to pick up their
print-outs from you. A pain for them but they wouldn't be wasting paper
on personal stuff. Believe me if they have to walk somewhere, it would
have to be very important material to print out. (We also charge 10 cents
per page for non work-related printing)
You will need something to protect your computers from those who like to
change settings, download programs, put pictures up on the desktop etc.
Our MIS has filtering software that makes some sites inaccessible and
downloading programs is deterred by the inability to install any of these
programs on a computer. We have also added a menu program from Carl that
hides the desktop from patrons. Buttons are preset to Office 97 programs
and various websites. A big help since we do not have to continually give
out the URLs to people and I am not cleaning stuff off the computer!!
******
The Resource Center serves the educational needs of students, faculty, and
residents. These users have priority in using the LRC facilities. The LRC
is also available to faculty and students of the College of Allied Health,
and to students from the Magnet High School. However, if College of
Medicine students, faculty, or residents need to use a computer, please
save your work and offer your place to them. Classes accompanied by an
instructor may schedule the LRC for computer assisted instruction by
contacting the Director of the LRC. The LRC is meant primarily for
educational purposes, and users who need computers for instruction related
uses have priority over those using them for other purposes (e.g. online
chat, games, surfing). You may use the LRC computers for activities not
directly related to curriculum (e.g. e-mail or web surfing), but you must
relinquish the computer to any user who needs it for educational purposes.
LRC use must be appropriate to the educational setting. Please conduct
yourself in a respectful manner. Usage that creates an uncomfortable
environment for others is not permitted. If you are made uncomfortable by
the activities of anyone in the LRC, please notify the LRC staff, or
Security if necessary. Users of the LRC may NOT load or delete software on
the computers without the permission of the Director of the LRC. This is
to ensure that the computers will continue to work properly, and that
software licensing issues are appropriately addressed. You may run
software from the disks on which it came, but do not install anything on
the LRC computers. Any unapproved software found on LRC machines will be
deleted. LRC users may NOT alter the settings of the LRC computers in any
way without consulting with the LRC staff. This includes color schemes,
backgrounds, the Desktop, and the Start Menu. The LRC computers will be
cleaned periodically. For your own protection, please save your work to a
floppy or ZIP disk, or to your personal user directory on the LRC server.
Staff will not be responsible for any data or applications lost. Users
that violate this use policy may be asked to leave the LRC by any staff
member. Continued abuse of LRC policies may result in permanent revocation
of LRC use privileges.
****** We do not have any written rules but have taken a few steps to work
around what the students do in the lab. Rules are fine, but my opinion is
that when not monitored, rules are broken. So we try to be one step
ahead. This is almost impossible, but we keep trying. Our lab is open to
all students, faculty and staff, but is mostly used by students. As far
as internet use, we have windows98 and our version has Internet Options in
the Control Panel. We have set the settings to limit what people can view
and passworded it. Students can be very bright and in the past have gotten
through any security software. They have not figured this out yet, but
depending on the site, it may still get through.
As far as paper... we supplied paper and started going broke! OK, it
wasn't that bad, but we now require anyone printing to supply their own
paper. We have a small amount of scrap paper that we will hand out, but
employees have paper in their departments they can use and students can
get it at Office Max or WalMart, etc. Having students bring their own
paper not only cut down on the amount of paper used, but also on the
printer cartrages. We have laser printers (3) and the cartrages can be
expensive. Students seemed much more wasteful when printing on our paper,
printing whole documents over again after only fixing a typo or two.
Our Computer department has passworded out the A: drive and CD rom drive.
I'm not sure how they did it, but documents can be opened and saved to the
A: drive, but nothing can be installed on the computer from there or the
CD rom. CD rom software can be used that has already been loaded.

Subject: CHAT: Wonderful British movie w/ library theme
I few weeks ago I watched a great British movie called "Shooting the Past"
which was a Mobil Masterpiece Theater production in 1999. It's the best
and most suspenseful portrayal of a library that I've ever seen in a
movie, so I thought I'd write up a review. (By the way, it's available
for sale from Amazon.com, and I managed to borrow it through my local
library).
Shooting the Past is the story of a British photographic library housed on
an old estate. The collection contains 10 million photographs and is run
by a small staff of librarians. The estate has just been sold to an
American businessman who plans to turn the property into a business
school. He writes to the assistant librarian to let them know that the
collection needs to be sold, as it will not be part of the new school.
The eccentric assistant librarian neglects to tell the rest of the staff,
and when the movie opens, the new owner has just arrived to find that the
library is still intact. He is furious and informs the head librarian
that she has one week to find a buyer or they will face the destruction of
ten million photographs.
In order to convince the new owner that the collection is worth saving,
the librarians assemble a series of stories linked to various photographs
in the collection -- sort of a librarian's Sheharazade. One of the most
fascinating is one they put together with photographs of the life of a
young Jewish girl during the Holocaust that they assemble from various
parts of the collection. The final story of the movie that the librarians
ingeniously weave together is a series of photographs involving the
American owner's Irish grandmother (and mysterious stories from her past
that have a huge impact on the owner).
I won't give away too much (or how it ends) but definitely try to get a
copy of this movie (and leave a lot of time to watch it, as it's a
two-video series, and so suspenseful that you'll want to watch it straight
through).
It gives a great portrayal of the librarians in the film as extremely
resourceful, able to find virtually anything in a non-computerized
collection, and very creative at putting together information in order to
try to save their collection. The photographic stories that they tell are
spellbinding and the still photography is beautiful, as is the music.
The acting and writing is wonderful, with lots of droll British humor
thrown in amongst the drama. The theme of library closure is also a
