Abstract

The Health Sciences Libraries Consortium, a group of health sciences libraries based in Philadelphia, PA, has implemented a MEDLINE database retrieval system based on the CD Plus PlusNet2 system. The system provides access to the entire MEDLINE database file through three centralized servers and four distributed servers, and is accessible over the HSLC wide-area network linking all of its members. This article describes the implementation process, from selection of the system to future development.

Learning about the dynamic swallowing process using an interactive multimedia program.

The management of dysphagia is the largest recognized subspecialty in the field of speech-language pathology. Practicing speech-language pathologists require a comprehensive theoretical and functional knowledge base to underpin the safe and effective management of people with dysphagia. Students need to develop an understanding of the normal integrated swallow and how it can be affected to appreciate the assessment or treatment of dysphagia. Although students are well motivated to learn this material, assimilating knowledge of the dynamic nature of the swallow has typically been problematic because of its complex character. The limitations of currently available teaching resources have been addressed by the production of an interactive multimedia program that includes integrated presentation of text, graphics, voice-overs, and video and animation sequences to highlight various aspects of the swallowing process. Students can selectively manipulate parts of this process to understand the normal swallow and to simulate different aspects of dysfunction and the consequent effects on swallow safety and efficiency. Feedback from students, faculty, and experts has demonstrated that The Dynamic Swallow would be a valued tool in the teaching of dysphagia.
