The Society for the Internet in Medicine and the OMNI Project (Organising
Medical Networked Information) are pleased to announce that the 3rd OMNI
Seminar will take place at MEDNET '97, in Brighton on 5th November.
OMNI's 3rd Annual Seminar, subtitled "The Cure for Information Overload",
will showcase several projects and services funded by the Higher
Education
Funding Councils for the benefit of the higher education and research
communities in the United Kingdom. These include:
DERWeb
Based at the University of Sheffield, DERWeb in the UK's premier resource
for dental education resources. DERWeb maintains an image library, a
database of teaching materials, an online bookshop and acts as a designer
and maintainer of web sites for many dentistry organisations.
MIDRIB
MIDRIB aims to create, maintain and deliver a comprehensive collection of
medical images in digital form, for use in teaching and research. The
project is gathering the best of existing collections from respected
professional sources, and drawing them together into a coherent
resource. This will be available free to medical and healthcare
faculties of the UK Universities and teaching hospitals, via the academic
network.
OMNI
On the second anniversary of our arrival on the World Wide Web, OMNI
will review the service's development, report on the options for
searching the Web for biomedicine today, and look forward to the future
for eLib's access to Network Resources projects.
The Seminar will also include a major discussion event on Internet
MEDLINE, with contributions from users, providers and information
specialists.
The OMNI seminar is also a National Libraries Week event. Library
