<STRONG>New Rescanned Images</STRONG><BR>
|
|
By the end of this year, all 59,000 images in the <A HREF = "http://wwwihm.nlm.nih.gov/">Images from the History of
|
|
Medicine</A> (IHM) database will be replaced with rescanned versions. The images
|
|
were rescanned over the past three years directly from archival slides at a
|
|
high resolution (2700 dpi prior to compression for the Web). These images are
|
|
from NLM's prints and photograph collection which includes portraits, pictures
|
|
of institutions, caricatures, genre scenes, and graphic art in a variety of media,
|
|
illustrating the social and historical aspects of medicine.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<STRONG>Shortcomings of the Current Images Database</STRONG><BR>
|
|
Images currently in the database were scanned from the videodisc produced
|
|
for the original PC-based demonstration project. While the videodisc was
|
|
made from the same archival slides as have just been scanned, they were scanned
|
|
at a lower resolution and are three generations away from the original. In
|
|
addition, the current database applied an unsatisfactory search mechanism to
|
|
identify images that may be under copyright restrictions. Users disliked the
|
|
heavy bar across images that the search mechanism determined - rightly or wrongly - to
|
|
be under copyright.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<STRONG>Watermark</STRONG><BR>
|
|
A watermark is used instead of the heavy bar. All of the new images are watermarked, because NLM still has insufficient
|
|
information to identify accurately the images that are under copyright
|
|
protection. The watermark permits viewing of images without obscuring large
|
|
areas, while protecting the interests of copyright owners by preventing
|
|
commercial reproduction. Users may be tempted to download and use these newly
|
|
scanned, high quality images, but may not remember to follow the copyright guidelines.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
<STRONG>Additional Feature</STRONG><BR>
|
|
The web software will be updated at the same time. With the new version, users will be able to send bibliographic information by e-mail. Images may not be e-mailed.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><STRONG>Bibliographic Updates</STRONG><BR>
|
|
Accession records for newly acquired posters and other materials are
|
|
being added to the database and review of existing records is progressing.
|
|
In June 1999, the database was re-configured so that new records and edits
|
|
are immediately reflected in the Web version of the IHM. Plans for FY 2000
|
|
include adding images for new acquisitions and obtaining additional assistance
|
|
for cataloging review.
|
|
</P>
|
|
|
|
<P><STRONG>Number of IHM Searches</STRONG><BR>
|
|
In FY 1999, the IHM supported more than 650,000 searches. Analysis of searches
|
|
by day of the week shows that Tuesday is the most popular day to search with 22%
|
|
of searches. Wednesday, Thursday, Monday, and Friday range from 16 - 14% each,
|
|
and Sunday comes in at 10%. Saturday closes the week at 8%.
