<p>The Health Services Technology Assessment Texts (HSTAT) is now located on the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=Books">Bookshelf</a>.</p>
<p>Users who have bookmarked <a href="http://hstat.nlm.nih.gov">http://hstat.nlm.nih.gov</a> or <a href="http://text.nlm.nih.gov">http://text.nlm.nih.gov</a> will be redirected to the HSTAT main page on the Bookshelf. However, bookmarks to individual documents will need to be updated. For a two-month period, the old bookmarks to a specific document will redirect to the main HSTAT homepage. From there, users will have to find the document or section that they wish to bookmark. It is now possible to bookmark any page within HSTAT.</p>

<font size="2"><strong>May 28, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
[Editor's Note: This Technical Note is a reprint of an announcement published on <em>NLM-Tox-Enviro-Health-L</em>, an e-mail announcement list available from the NLM <a href="http://sis.nlm.nih.gov">Division of Specialized Information Services</a>.

<strong>Toxics Release Inventory</strong><br />
TOXNET's TRI (<a href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?TRI">http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/htmlgen?TRI</a>) now includes all reporting years (1987-2001). Previously, 1995-2001 was available.</p>
<p>TRI is a series of databases that constitute the annually published toxic releases files on the <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/">National Library of Medicine</a>'s (NLM) <a href="http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/">Toxicology Data Network</a> (TOXNET<font size="-1">&#174;</font>). TRI contains information on the annual estimated releases of toxic chemicals to the environment and is based upon data collected by the <a href="http://www.epa.gov/">Environmental Protection Agency</a> (EPA). Mandated by the Superfund legislation, TRI's data covers air, water, land, and underground injection releases, as well as transfers to waste sites, and waste treatment methods and efficiency, as reported by industrial facilities around the United States. TRI also includes data related to source reduction and recycling.</p>
<p>Users can check one or more TRI boxes to select the year(s) to search.
The first choice (also the default) is the most recent file year available.
This is followed by preceding years, which now go back to 1987, the
starting year for collection of this data. A "Select all" option allows all years
to be searched simultaneously.</p>

<h3><a name = "survey">NLM<font size="1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font> Customer Services Satisfaction Survey</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>June 2, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>NLM Reference and Customer Services will be sending out a Web-based survey from early June until September 2004 along with the e-mail responses to queries sent to <a href="mailto:custserv@nlm.nih.gov">custserv@nlm.nih.gov</a> or to other "Contact NLM" forms. The survey consists of nine questions and should take about 5 or 6 minutes to complete. The URL will be provided at the top of e-mail responses.</p>
<p>The NLM staff answer reference questions and provide information about NLM, the History of Medicine, DOCLINE<font size="-1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font>, UMLS<font size="-1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font>, document delivery, PubMed<font size="-1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font>, MedlinePlus<font size="-1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font>, ClinicalTrials.gov<font size="-1"><sup>&#174;</sup></font>, and other NLM databases and services. We annually respond to over 50,000 e-mail requests for information.</p>
<p>NLM invites our patrons, including librarians, health professionals, scientists, researchers, students, patients, and the general public, to take the survey. The survey will analyze the demographics of our users and the types of questions they ask, and measure their satisfaction with the courtesy, timeliness, and quality of the response provided. Your completion of the survey will provide the NLM with valuable data on how useful our resources are, and if you found the level of service provided satisfactory.</p>

<H3><A NAME = "gene">Gene Database Available via Entrez System</A></H3>
<FONT size="2"><strong>May xx, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
In November 2003 NCBI launched a new database, <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?db=gene">Gene</a>, that is accessed via the Entrez system. This database is intended to include all the functions of, and eventually replace, LocusLink. If you are interested in gene-specific information, you should try Entrez Gene. This database adds several features not available in LocusLink, namely:
</p>
<dl>
<dt><strong>A greater scope:</strong><br />
<dd>All species processed by the NCBI RefSeq project are included, not just a few higher eukaryotes.
<dt><strong>Easier access to related information:</strong><br />
<dd>By being in the Entrez system, Gene records of interest can be identified by the Entrez cross-database search function (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Entrez/) as well and the Links pull-down menus seen in all records. This facilitates connections among such key databases as PubMed, OMIM, Nucleotide, and Protein. Links on the record also expedite retrieval of gene-specific sequence.
<dt><strong>New genome navigation:</strong><br />
<dd>The record for a gene mapped to a sequenced genome provides a graphic of the neighbors of that gene along the chromosome. Clicking on any gene in that diagram brings you to the record for that gene.
</dl>
<p>
Both the LocusLink and Gene databases show the Gene Indexing information in a section called GeneRIF and GeneRifs, respectively. This functional information is supplied by NLM indexers during the MEDLINE indexing process in a collaborative project with NCBI which is described in the article, <em><a href="/pubs/techbull/so02/so02_gene_indexing.html">Gene Indexing. NLM Tech Bull. 2002 Sep-Oct;(328):e6</a></em>. In the Gene database, the GeneRifs section is part of the Default and Graphics Display options.
</p>

<h3><a name = "ss">Subheading Searching in PubMed</a>
<br /><font size=-1><em>[Editor's Note added March 11, 2005]</em></font></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>June 4, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
In addition to the two-letter abbreviations and the full spelling of subheadings, Entry Versions of subheadings (e.g., class for classification, stand for standards) were searchable in PubMed. As these Entry Versions may be the same as text words for unrelated concepts, their use can result in "unexpected" retrieval. In the near future we will discontinue Subheading Entry Versions as options for subheading searching. If an Entry Version is the same as the full spelling (e.g., methods), there is no effect by this change.
</p>
<p>
When using subheadings in searches (including stored searches), please use either the full, spelled-out version of a subheading or its two-letter abbreviation.<br />
Example:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>Do NOT use:
<dd>heart diseases/diag
<dt>Use:
<dd>heart diseases/di
<dd>or
<dd>heart diseases/diagnosis
</dl>
<p>
For more information about using MeSH subheadings see PubMed's <a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK3827/#pubmedhelp.Appendices">Help</a>.

<h3><a name = "gateway">Genetics Home Reference added to the NLM Gateway</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>June 23, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>
A new Consumer Health collection, Genetics Home Reference (GHR), has been added to the <a href="http://gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd">NLM Gateway</a>. A search of Genetics Home Reference through the NLM Gateway retrieves consumer information about genetic conditions and the genes responsible for those conditions. This information includes descriptions of the symptoms, diagnostic process, and treatment options. For more information about GHR, see the <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/ghr.html">Fact Sheet</a>.

<h3><a name = "space">Space Life Sciences Data Hiatus</a></h3>
<font size="2"><strong>June 28, 2004</strong> [posted]</font>
<p>Under a collaborative arrangement with NLM, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) adds and/or enhances citations to publications in the Space Life Sciences in both MEDLINE in PubMed and LocatorPlus, NLM's Online Catalog. NASA uses a contract to perform this work.</p>
<p>Due to a dispute involving this NASA contract no new unique Space Life Sciences data have been added to MEDLINE or LocatorPlus since 5:00 PM on March 12, 2004. Nor have the additional special NASA-related features (Other Terms, Space Flight Mission, Other ID, General Note and Investigator) been added to any existing citations. It is expected this hiatus will last until near the end of calendar 2004. </p>
<p>
Searchers using PubMed and limiting to the Space subset will continue to find MEDLINE citations on the this topic because the Space subset strategy includes text words, investigator/author names, MeSH headings, and journal titles, relating to space life sciences, in addition to the Space Citation Subset value.
