烟斗

道先生开的铺子,远邻近舍,家家熟知。这家小店,出售各种各样的零星百货,老老少少,都来光顾,选购各自所需的用品。货架和店柜上的商品,琳琅满目,美不胜收。小乔伊每天放学以后,就逛进这家小店东张西望。他爱看那些烟斗,其中有一只特别惹他注目。每当他回家路过这里,总要盯它一阵,而且一见了它就目不转睛,心想:“总有那么一天,我会长大成人,可以抽抽烟斗,就像这只。”他记不起父亲是啥模样,但是他知道父亲准是抽烟斗的。小乔伊伸出手去摸了摸那只烟斗,又用一根手指在烟斗杆上轻轻地摩挲(māsā)着。他老是在想:他长大了,就可以去工作,他的母亲…     

琴声

Introducing computer literacy skills for physicians

Computers are integral to medical practice, education, and research. While medical students learn computer skills during their training, many practicing physicians do not have the same computer experience. To familiarize this group with the exciting developments in medical informatics, the Himmelfarb Health Sciences Library and Department of Computer Medicine at the George Washington University Medical Center organized a workshop "Introducing Your Office Computer!" for attending physicians. The workshop featured a short lecture/video presentation on computer applications in medicine followed by a "computer fair" of five computer applications. Eleven physicians attended the workshop. Feedback was very positive; many called later to request more detailed instructions on using the programs demonstrated. It was a valuable experience for the staff, and new bridges were built between departments and clients.     

Inspiring vanguards: the Woods Hole experience

Twice a year, the National Library of Medicine and Marine Biological Laboratory co-sponsor a fellowship in Biomedical Informatics for librarians, clinicians, and other health professionals in Woods Hole, MA.

This paper discusses the field of biomedical informatics and explores the results of an informal survey from the librarians who participated in the fall session of 2005.
