Subject: MIDIRS Database - a progress report
Dear all
Apologies for cross-posting
Back in March I reported to the lists that the MIDIRS Database, the
bibliographical resource targeted at maternal and neonatal health professionals,
has been launched for institutions after 15 years only being available to
personal subscribers. I had a tremendous response to my emails (50 free trials
set up in 3 days!), and we now have a growing number of live subscriptions. The
best part of it all was learning from the feedback that we received from the
librarians trialling the database and, as a result of this, the following
developments to the institutional product have been made:
* multi-site and home use access are now permitted under the terms of our
standard licence
* temporary access can be provided to staff and students from academic
institutions who are off-site on placements
* temporary storage folders have been developed so that users can print or email
their search results
* site-specific usage statistics can be provided
* we aim to make the database Athens compliant by the start of the academic year
2004
There is also a new name for the institutional access product, the MIDIRS IA,
and a new website where you may request a free trial, and where existing
subscribers will be able to post suggestions and comments about the service
www.midirs.org/ia. Full details about the database's features and functionality
are also available from this site.
If you would like to trial the database for 28 days, with no obligation, please
either reply to me on this address or sign up at the new MIDIRS IA website.
