Linking information on the World Wide Web.

The uniform resource locator (URL) is the key element of the World Wide Web, connecting widely separate sources of information. Logically constructed URLs are important in helping users find desired information. URLs can deceive users. Cyber squatting and other practices that manipulate URLs often lead the user to unwanted information. Critical to future scholarship and education is access to full text articles online. This will require consistent and well-constructed URLs.

DICOM to print, 35-mm slides, web, and video projector: tutorial using Adobe Photoshop.

Preparing images for publication has dealt with film and the photographic process. With picture archiving and communications systems, many departments will no longer produce film. This will change how images are produced for publication. DICOM, the file format for radiographic images, has to be converted and then prepared for traditional publication, 35-mm slides, the newest techniques of video projection, and the World Wide Web. Tagged image file format is the common format for traditional print publication, whereas joint photographic expert group is the current file format for the World Wide Web. Each medium has specific requirements that can be met with a common image-editing program such as Adobe Photoshop (Adobe Systems, San Jose, CA). High-resolution images are required for print, a process that requires interpolation. However, the Internet requires images with a small file size for rapid transmission. The resolution of each output differs and the image resolution must be optimized to match the output of the publishing medium.

Creating a Web-based bibliography database: AJR volumes 1-95.

OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this study was to index the contents of the pre-MEDLINE American Journal of Roentgenology into a database that could then be accessed over the World Wide Web. CONCLUSION: The database is composed of more than 8,000 citations from the years 1914 (volume 1) to 1965 (volume 95). Using a Web browser, a user can search the database by year, volume, title word, page, or author. Results are returned sorted by year and page number in a bibliographic format. The database is accessed approximately 200 times per month.
