EDITORIAL
Once again we bring you a packed Free Pint, brimming with articles
and tips on how you can make the most of the Web for your work. We
start with tips on how to find information products and services on
the Web, and follow this with a detailed look at where to find the
best bioscience resources. The feedback section contains letters
from readers about the proposed HTML version of Free Pint, and also
comments on articles in the last issue.
"Tell the world ..."
We still desperately need you to spread the word about Free Pint to
colleagues and friends, and so why not send this email to them.
You can also copy Free Pint (in its entirety) freely to any
discussion list or group if you may think members may find it useful.
"Tell me what you think ..."
We also love to hear your comments, thoughts and suggestions on how
we can make Free Pint more relevant to what you do, so why not email
me now? My email address is william@freepint.co.uk.
May I now invite you to read on and enjoy your seventeenth Free Pint!
Kind regards,
William Hann
Managing Editor
william@freepint.co.uk
PS: Free Pint looks best in a fixed width font like Courier, and
is easier to read and use if you print it out first. Reserve your
free copy of Free Pint by emailing subs@freepint.co.uk or visit
http://www.freepint.co.uk/ where you will also find past issues,
advertising & author details, and of course the Free Pint Forum.

TIPS AND TECHNIQUES
"Finding information products and services via the Net"
by Sheila Webber
This article highlights some free specialist directories in the
information sector: listing online databases, information consultants
and the like. Three key sources are exhibition catalogues, trade or
professional associations listing their members, and commercial
directories which are offered either in simplified form or in
less-than-current editions. Having identified the relevant
exhibitions, bodies and directories, finding out if they've a web
site can be guessable (e.g. http://www.eirene.com/ for EIRENE) or not
(e.g. the DGD site, found via a search engine or library/information
supersite). Tracing the search page for the directory, once you've
found the site, can also be an interesting challenge. Therefore in
most cases below I've given the specific URL of the directory.
Obviously you can also trace these companies via all-purpose
directories, but often you won't get as much detail.
Online products, producers and hosts
Exhibition catalogues have always made good directories for
specialist topics: the main problem was getting hold of them if you
hadn't actually gone to the exhibition. Now that some of them are on
the net, that problem is solved. Another advantage of exhibition
catalogues is that you know how up-to-date the information is (not
the case with many general directories, unfortunately). The online
industry catalogues tend to include hyperlinked web addresses and
email addresses.
The exhibitors' catalogue of Learned Information's *Online
Information 97* (London) exhibition is searchable, with hypertext
links to the exhibitors' web sites. You can also search a database of
abstracts from the conference, and view emerging details of Online
Information 98 http://www.learned.co.uk/events/online/onl_search.htm
The two big US online conferences both have LONG hyperlinked pages of
exhibitors. The New York *National Online Meeting* has its May 1998
list at http://www.infotoday.com/nom98/exhibits.htm, whilst Online
Inc's *Online World* conference has exhibitors from 1997 at
http://www.onlineinc.com/olworld/ow97/exhibitors.html
Germany's *Infobase* exhibition (http://www.infobase.de/) has a
searchable database of exhibitors. The site is in a truly vile green
colour with pulsating headings and brown and grey text (what WERE
they on when they created it?) When compiling this list I was
switching between Netscape and Word, and returning to my browser
resulted each time in an interesting slime-flowing-down-the-wall
effect. Anyway, there's a button, bottom right, if you want to switch
to the English language version, otherwise click on Aussteller. Each
entry in the catalogue is indexed with a number of product
categories, and has contact details including web site.
*IDT 98* (June 9-11 in Paris) at http://www.idt.fr/ has a less useful
1997 exhibitors' list: just exhibitors' names, listed alphabetically,
with a minority of them hyperlinked.
Finally, I'll mention three online source manuals. The 5th edition of
Learned Information's *Online Manual* (the latest one is the 6th) can
be searched by subject to identify databases on the topic. It will
tell you the online host that offers the database, and often
hyperlinks to producer's site.
http://www.learned.co.uk/databases/tom/
*I'M Guide* from the European Commission contains descriptions of
8,000 European electronic information sources.
http://www2.echo.lu/echo/databases/imguide/en/im92-hom.html
*Le Repertoire des Banques de Donnees Professionnelles*, on the ADBS
site at http://www.adbs.fr/adbs/viepro/bdd/html/1som.htm has about
1,000 entries for electronic databases and sources. The entries I
looked at were dated late 1997, and there was also a brief page of
industry news (in French).
Library suppliers
For library suppliers and library automation, at
http://www.herts.ac.uk/Libtech/web2.htm there is a list of exhibitors
at the 1997 *Libtech* exhibition (the 'catalogue' entries include
links to web sites, email addresses etc). By the way, there is no
Libtech at Hatfield this year, as the exhibition is moving to Olympia
in March 1999 to cohabit with the London International Book Fair. The
*LIBF* itself has the 1998 exhibitors catalogue (company address,
telephone, fax, but no web details) on its site at
http://www.libf.co.uk/ and the *Frankfurt Bookfair*
(http://www.frankfurter-buchmesse.de/) has similar details for its
exhibitors.
Unfortunately the biggest UK library supplier fest, the *Library +
Information Show* that took place in June in Birmingham has only one
page on the rather clunky site at http://www.resourcex.co.uk/
The UK-based *Biblio Tech Review* has a good directory covering
library systems suppliers and consultants, barcoding systems etc.
(contact details, links, summary of services/systems offered): and
there is the bonus of review articles and news about library-related
systems. http://www.biblio-tech.com/biblio/
The European Commission has a regularly updated, annotated list of
links to *library systems suppliers* at
http://www2.echo.lu/libraries/en/systems.html
Information consultants and brokers
These directories and listings have varying amounts of information.
The smaller ones are worth looking at, as they tend to have more
information about the services provided.
The 12th edition (1996) of the *Burwell World Directory of
Information Brokers* can be searched free (the current one is the
13th edition: 1800 entries in 51 countries)
http://www.burwellinc.com/
The *European Information Researchers Network (EIRENE)* is a
professional association representing over 65 information brokers.
There is a directory of members, outlining their services, personnel,
and pricing structure. http://www.eirene.com/
The *Association of Independent Information Professionals* ('800
members in 21 countries') has a VERY long page listing the contact
details (no web links) and service areas of its members
http://www.aiip.org/
The ADBS site (L'Association des professionnels de l'information et
de la documentation, http://www.adbs.fr/) includes a searchable
*database of French information consultants*.
There is a list of *German information consultants and brokers* on
the Deutsche Gesellschaft fuer Dokumentation site at
http://www.darmstadt.gmd.de/DGD/infobroker/infobr.htm

FEATURE ARTICLE
"Bioscience Information on the Internet"
by Dr. Pita Enriquez Harris
Information about this field is dominated by three principal
influences: 1. The funding agencies; such as The Wellcome Trust, who
provide most of the capital for research in the field. 2. The
publishers who print all the scientific papers and provide news in
the biotech/healthcare sectors. 3. The pharmaceutical and
biotechnology companies who research and develop drugs or products
for the mass market or as part of the great research chain.
And in between you have the huge mass of scientists working in the
field - a very large community that has had unlimited Internet
access since before most businesses got a dial-up email account!
This makes for a great deal of information, much of it highly
specialised. What I am giving you here is a highly personalised
version, a whistle stop tour of what is out there.
Sites No Self Respecting Bio-Surfer Should Be Without
Most biological scientists will remember the first appearance of
Medline, the National Library of Medicine's searchable resource of
abstracts of just about every biomedical paper you are likely to
want to read. Wow! Until recently it was subscriber access on CD
ROM only, but now it comes in several flavours on the Internet. My
favourite two are Healthgate's Free Medline Search:
http://www.healthgate.com/HealthGate/MEDLINE/search.shtml
Or, Biomednet's Evaluated Medline (you need to register as a
member) http://biomednet.com/db/medline which will record your search
history between sessions!
Then we have the array of online gene libraries, which catalogue the
sequences of all recorded genes. There are too many to list here
but at the Internet Sleuth you can check a list of the key sites as
well as search them directly from the Sleuth.
(http://www.isleuth.com/genetics.html)
But when in Rome, ask a Roman how to get to St Peter's. There's a
site that has been providing biological scientists with many of
their reference points since the early days of the Web - Pedro's
BioMolecular Research Tools.
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~pedro/research_tools.html
Want to find out how to play online with a three-dimensional model of
the AIDS virus? You can find out how from one of the sites on
Pedro's page.
What the Papers Say
Finally, all the journal publishers came around to the idea that
scientists want to be able to have immediate, desktop access to
journals and don't want to have to trawl through the library's heavy
bound volumes! So now, almost every journal is available online.
Most offer free searching of contents, some of abstracts also. When
you bring up the paper you need, you can often download it and print
a PDF (Portable Document Format) version right there and then - if
you or your department's library is a subscriber.
Most simply mirror the content of the print versions, but Science
(http://www.sciencemag.org) and Nature (http://www.nature.com) are
set up more as general resources for researchers, with information
about careers, lab supplies and informative articles and discussions
about science. The online magazine HMS Beagle
(http://biomednet.com/hmsbeagle) provides an alternative to these
journals, being a lively mixture of news and commentary about current
research, links to debates and useful web resources.
Here's where to find a list of all such journals (Pedro strikes again)
http://www.public.iastate.edu/~pedro/rt_journals.html
Going shopping
Hey, biological scientists can shop with the best of them! You've
never really experienced a shopping high until you've paid for a
tailor-made gene knocked-out mouse.
As for the journal publishers, ditto the lab suppliers. No more
need to scan the shelves for this year's New Englands Biolabs
catalogue - now you can get everything you might need online,
including demos of software products. Nature's site has a searchable
guide to research suppliers and biotechnology companies
(http://guide.nature.com) or try the deluxe options at BioSupplyNet
http://www.biosupplynet.com
What is going on and where?
To find out who's doing what and where, read the sites of the
funding agencies. In the last year, many of these have gone online,
sometimes with impressive results. Read carefully and you can find
out what the people who control the purse strings are thinking, what
they are looking for in terms of a viable project, areas in which
they would like to see progress. Some now offer online proposal
submission - The Wellcome Trust is going for a paperless office so
forget that old green form you've been meaning to fill in.
My personal favourites are the site of the
Cancer Research Campaign (http://www.crc.org.uk)
The Wellcome Trust (http://www.wellcome.ac.uk)
and the Howard Hughes Medical Institute (http://www.hhmi.org)
A concession to Big Business
Thankfully, it isn't all corporate lather. Some of the biotech
companies really do offer some useful resources apart from their
share prices and annual reports. And it is worth knowing that many
such companies have taken to putting their press releases on the
front page, which is very useful indeed for investors / job
applicants / competitors!
There are a number of sites which have taken upon themselves the job
of providing the world with information about the biotechnology
industry. My pick of these:
Bio-Online http://bio.com - Ambitious, all-encompassing site with a
good deal of biotech information.
Biospace http://www.biospace.com - This hits the spot - all top
biotech news stories run on the front page. Super.
Bioportfolio http://www.bioportfolio.com - Essential reading for
research into the UK biotech industry.
Sites of astonishing coolness
Not many things deserve such a title but I know of two sites that
do: Biomednet - http://www.biomednet.com - a 'club' for
bioscientists. Membership is free - I joined when it began in 1996.
Since then it has gone from strength to strength to become a really
wonderful resource.
I've already quoted sites within the BioMedNet, which gives you an
idea of just how useful it really is. It has got it all. As a
reference point, or a place to browse about current research, it is
unparalleled. A new feature is the BioMedLink,
(http://biomednet.com/db/biomedlink) a detailed directory of
reviewed web sites in the biomedical field (although it looks as
though the search interface of BioMedLink is still in development).
And finally, just for fun, Cells Alive - http://www.cellsalive.com
Visual tools for the cell biologists, featuring video clips of cells
in action. To the accompaniment of appropriate sound effects, cells
squirm, contract and engulf each other. Mesmerising.

Subject: Net Surveys Article in FP #16
From: Martin White, Principal Consultant, TFPL
Date: 19th June 1998
Dear William
Your article on how to design a www survey was excellent, but made no
reference to the issues of data protection and industry guidelines on
using the internet for surveys.
The European Data Protection Directive, and related national legislation
on data protection do have quite an impact on how questions are asked,
and on what you do with the information. The European Society for
Opinion and Marketing Research (ESOMAR) has published a code of practice
on the subject which you can find at
http://www.esomar.nl/guidelines/internet_guidelines.htm

Martin

Subject: HTML Version of Free Pint
From: William Hann, Managing Editor, Free Pint
Date: 25th June 1998
In the last issue of Free Pint we published a letter from a
subscriber who suggested producing an HTML version of Free Pint. We
asked you your opinion of this and received a sack-full (well,
inbox full) of email replies. We have reproduced here a handful
of representative emails, followed by our considered decision:
"Yuck. E-mail is for plain text. The web is for HTML. If someone
wants an HTML version of your newsletter, they should go to your
website. To that end, I would suggest that you place the _current_
issue on your website, have a prominent link on the front page of the
site to the current issue, and give the http:// address of the
current issue in the header of the e-mail version." Padraic Renaghan
"Yes an HTML version of Free Pint would be excellent, you have my
vote!" Charles Holdsworth
"I don't think this email needs any more functionality which a
version in HTML could provide (like better structuring and colors).
It would just be a waste of bandwidth. It looks best with fixed font,
like it should. If one cares for an HTML version, one can use
Communicator 4 - Messenger, where the http tags are automatically
transformed to links. After all, one must have a browser to view the
HTML version, and so simply use Netscape for mail (like I do)."
Pavel Pavlov
"Just like to register my 'plain text please' vote. HTML coded emails
take a while to display themselves, and I was also reading in the
Guardian the other day that once you start to get fancy things
actually in the emails, the old apocryphal stories of virus-laden
emails actually become a possibility (also I remember how difficult
it was to read HTML email newsletters when my email software couldn't
decode HTML)." Sheila Webber
"Honestly, a text version serves well for me and my overloaded e-mail
box. (I also believe that some people need to pay for the space they
use in their e-mail boxes...). Further, I often read my mail from
different places. So, it is preferable that I can get to the
information with a minimum of technical stuff. (I might just use a
simple telnet terminal emulation programme...). My vote therefore is
strongly in favour of a text-based version (as it is now). If you can
cope with the additional work producing a HTML-version than I think
this would be nice for the backups on the web. But as I said: nice
to have." Gundula Haertel, Switzerland
"I find Free Pint very useful and informative, but if you introduce
a HTML version please continue to send it in plain text also. My
email system does not accept attachments, because of fears of
importing a virus, which I'm sure applies to other companies. Thanks
for a web publication which is worth reading." Ruth Duncan, Media
Researcher
William Hann replies:
It therefore seems that the email newsletter is popular but that
subscribers are unaware that there is a version with hypertext links
activated on the Web site. Therefore, after much research,
consultation and deliberation, we have decided to keep the textual
format of Free Pint as it currently is. We would like to remind
readers though that as soon as Free Pint is published we also add the
issue to the Web site at http://www.freepint.co.uk/ with all
hyperlinks activated. The direct address can also now be found in
the contents section at the top of Free Pint, with the address for
the current issue being:
http://www.freepint.co.uk/issues/250698.htm
We also update our auto-responder which will send the latest issue
to anyone who sends an email to auto@freepint.co.uk.

Subject: Marketing Web Sites Article in FP #16
From: Charles Maurer, Ontario, Canada
Date: June 1998
Steve Cartwright omitted an important point in marketing a web site:
make sure it can be used without graphics. "It only takes 10 seconds
to load the banner" is myopia. Even over a 56K modem, I'm not going
to download graphics automatically. If a site does not show what it
has to offer without graphics, I'm not likely to spend any time on
it at all.
Every once in a while I mention this to a webmaster who requires
graphics. The reply is inevitably, "I rarely get complaints, I
usually get compliments." This statement astonishes me. A web
site's graphics waste too much time so somebody says, "To hell with
this site, let me try another." Why would this guy waste more time
by complaining? Indeed, if he does not enter the site, how will he
even lodge a complaint? If a webmaster limits his audience to those
who like graphics or at least don't object to them, of course he will
get more compliments than complaints.
He will, however, be limiting his market. Earlier this year The
Economist summarized a study of 100 large corporations' web sites.
Customers, stockholders and employees were all agreed: fancy
graphics turned them away in droves.

Subject: "Information Research FAQ" from The Spire Project
From: Rex Cooke, Editor, Free Pint
Date: 25th June 1998
A subscriber, Philip Westlake, has brought an excellent resource to
our attention. The "Information Research FAQ" (list of Frequently
Asked Questions) is available for download free from The Spire
Project Web site, and describes itself as serving ...
"... to highlight the methods, the resources and the skills used in
information research with particular interest in the role of the
Internet as both a reservoir and gateway to information resources."
If you are using the Internet as a research tool then we would
certainly recommend downloading this informative FAQ in text form
from the Web site at http://cn.net.au/
