Abstract

Research and academic computer networks provide e-mail and other services to all members of participating institutions. Their usage by biomedical researchers and clinicians is still limited because of several reasons, including limited awareness of the available network resources. An increased use of these networks within the biomedical community would allow fast, effective communications and convenient remote access to information sources. As an example and pilot study, we prepared two network tools to make some information services maintained by our institution also accessible through e-mail. Both tools were implemented using PMDF e-mail software on a DEC MicroVAX connected to the Italian academic and research network (GARR), which is linked to the U.S. Internet. A network server takes care of automatic distribution of documents (files) reporting results of an oncology research/education project. An information server provides for semiautomated support of a consulting service on use of drugs. The feasibility of implementing these tools, based on existing software, further illustrates the potential usefulness of research computer networks for the dissemination of biomedical information.
