WHAT IS MIDRIB?



Begun in April 1996, MIDRIB aims to create, maintain and deliver 

a comprehensive collection of medical images in digital form, for use 

in teaching and research. The project will gather the best of existing 

collections from respected professional sources, and draw them together 

into a coherent resource. This will be available free to medical and 

healthcare faculties of UK Universities and teaching hospitals.  It 

will be accessible via the SuperJanet higher-education network, from a 

single World Wide Web site, with prototype pages expected to appear 

during the Spring of 1997.  Images will also be made available on 

CD-ROM.



------------------------------------------------------------------



MIDRIB is part of the Electronic Libraries Programme, funded by the 

Joint Information Systems Committee of the Higher Education Funding 

Councils. It is a collaboration between St George's Hospital Medical 

School, London, and departments of Bristol University, with further 

assistance from the Wellcome Trust.
