ftp - handicap.shel.isc-br.com or 129.189.4.184
This is an anonymous ftp site that contains only
disability-related files and/or programs. There are
about 40 directories with 500 or so files/programs covering
all types of disabilities. The "Handicap BBS List", a
list of 800 BBS's carrying disability-related information,
originates here.
MAC ARCHIVES SECTION AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN.
Ftp - mac.archive.umich.edu
The Mac Archives at University of Michigan is pleased to
announce a new collection area for medicine and
the health sciences.
Currently, the collection is small - The contents is gradually growing
in the AMSA public domain software library, but these files
are a few years old. They are am seeking any Macintosh programs,
utilities, demonstrations, or computer aided instruction
related to the health sciences. If you have been developing any
type of Macintosh medical software and would like to
make it available to the rest of the world, send it to them.
You can use ftp to get to these archives (anonymous login, any password).
There are currently no restrictions, but for load management reasons,
limits may be imposed in the future. The medical directory is located on
mac.archive.umich.edu (currently 141.211.164.153) in /mac/etc/medical.
If you are using AFS (Andrew File System) you can get to the archive
directory with:
cd /afs/umich.edu/group/itd/archive/mac/etc/medical
Currently, the medical section of the archives is being maintained by
myself, Eric Meininger (ericm@umich.edu), a medical student attending the
University of Michigan Medical School. If you have any comments or
suggestions, don't hesitate to send a message.
SUBMITTING FILES TO THE MEDICAL SECTION OF THE ARCHIVES
The best way to get files to our archive is to ftp-put them into the
incoming directory, then e-mail ericm@umich.edu and let him
know that you've placed a file. This way he'll know there are health
science files waiting within the directory, and also who to contact if
the files don't work "as advertised".
Another way is to e-mail the file to ericm@umich.edu. It works
just as well.
VIRUSES
Unlike other Internet "Mac" archives, we test each and every one of the
files that appears in our "incoming" directory and in our mailboxes
addressed to mac.archive. We use the most-up-to-date virus detection
inits and control panels (Disinfectant, Gatekeeper, etc.) to insure that
the files that we add to the archive are not carrying anything that can
harm your Macintosh and your (and our) work. We also make these public
domain/shareware virus detection packages available to you as fast as we
receive them in our "utilities/virus" directory.
* Questions, Problems and comments regarding the medical archive
* specifically should be sent to ericm@umich.edu. General mac.archive
* questions should be sent to comments@mac.archive.umich.edu
M-MEDIA
ftp - M-Media.muohio.edu
This archive contains a library of medical applications created
in Authorware for both the Mac and the PC. It came online
Sept. 30, 1992 and invites public domain uploads.
Several readme files provide more information.

EASI is dedicated to assisting higher education in
developing computer support services for people with disabilities.
PUBLICATIONS--(all available in ASCII): EASI currently has four
publications available. COMPUTERS AND STUDENTS WITH
DISABILITIES: NEW CHALLENGES FOR HIGHER EDUCATION is a
detailed overview of how individuals with disabilities can use
computers in post-secondary education. COMPUTER ACCESS FACTS
gives basic information on disability legislation, demographics and
adaptive computer technology. EASI FIXES covers computer access
considerations in software development. The EASI OUTREACH
brochure talks about EASI activities and how to become involved.
EASI is currently developing a legal issues brochure and a publication
on how to convert electronic text to Braille documents.
ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT SERVICE: EASI has established an
electronic document service that offers several documents about
disabilities and computer use by individuals with disabilities. Among
the documents available are an introduction to the EASI library, a sign-
up flyer for people who want to become more involved, various EASI
brochures, facts about the Americans with Disabilities Act, information
on electronic access to library systems, and a document on how
computers can be designed to be more accessible.
ELECTRONIC LINK-UP: EASI has an e-mail list, hosted by the
University of Michigan, which allows people to send questions or
information to the entire EASI e-mail list. This is often used by people

How does BIRON work?
Searches based on topics
The BIRON system prompts you to type in a topic for which you are
seeking data. Your term is matched against a list of several thousand
descriptive terms arranged in associated groups. If an exact match is
found, you are told how many datasets have been indexed with the
matching term and are offered other associated terms which might assist
in focussing your search. If no exact match is found, lists of
similarly spelled words are offered for your selection and the process
of matching begins there.

CENTER FOR BIOMEDICAL INFORMATICS
The Center for Biomedical Informatics maintains a software library
with 50 diskettes containing ca. 150 public-domain medical application
programs for IBM-PC-compatible microcomputers. Most of this programs
are provided in source code (BASIC, Turbo-BASIC, dBASE III and PASCAL).
In the last three years, the Center has distributed more than 400 copies
to physicians, nurses, dentists, university lecturers and researchers,
and other professionals and students in the Health Sciences, in exchange
for a small fee per diskette, which is used to expand the public-domain
software library. Outside contributions are welcome: if they are
accepted, the contributor is entitled to choose any five diskettes from
the collection. The majority of the programs are in Portuguese, but some
are in English, too. A few of the programs are offered as shareware.

BRIDGE
Welcome to the online public access catalogue. The PALS-based catalogue
provides access to the collections of two institutions so users should
note the system prompt to determine which institution they are
searching.
If you are using the system for the first time, type: HELP
If you wish to search both libraries in the system, type: HELP SY
If you are using this system from outside a library, remember that to
leave and return to the campus network, you must type: $$SOFF
PALS INSTRUCTIONS: Searching Other Libraries
The online public access catalogue contains bibliographic records from the
following two libraries:
SBH -- St. Boniface General Hospital Libraries
UML -- University of Manitoba Libraries
The collection sizes for each library can be displayed by typing SIZE.
By default, all of your searches will be run against one library.
However, you may also search either "the other" library or
both of them together by using a location symbol immediately
after your command name. For example:
AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK
CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS
TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY
The symbol SYS will search both the SBH and UML collections.
If you wish to search extensively in another library, you
may also change the default through the use of the SET LIB command.
For instructions on this command, type HELP SZ.
UML=>help sz
PALS INSTRUCTIONS: Changing The Default Library
Normally, all of your searches will be processed against
one default library, either SBH (St. Boniface General Hospital Libraries)
or UML (University of Manitoba Libraries). You also have the
option of searching either the other library or both of them
together by inserting the location symbol immediately
after your command name. The symbol for both is SYS. For example:
AU SBH MILLER BENJAMIN FRANK
CO UML GODAVARI HAZARDOUS
TI SYS DENTISTRY AN ILLUSTRATED HISTORY
If you wish to search extensively in another library, you may temporarily
change your search default with the LIB command. For example:
SET LIB UML
SET LIB SBH
SET LIB SYS
When you use the SET LIB command, your system prompt will change
to reflect the new search default. Following a period of inactivity,
the system will return the search default for your terminal to its
original setting and the prompt will revert back to normal.
