During the past ten years the phrase EBM (Evidence-based Medicine) has become popular among Japanese medical care providers. Not only the MHW (Ministry of Health and Welfare) but pharmaceutical companies have become interested in EBM. David Sackett says EBM is conscientious, explicit, and judicious use of current best evidence in making decisions about the care of individual patients. In medical practice, 5 steps for are adovocated EBM: step 1, formulation of medical questions; step 2, a search for good evidence; step 3, critical appraisal of the information; step 4, putting the evidence into practice; step 5, verification of the appropriateness of these steps. There are many barriers to the adoption of EBM by Japansese physicians, such as information technology, tactics for searching evidence, English language, structure of the Japanese literature database, and medical authorities. Medical librarians should be alert to the prosperity of EBM and prepare the best and most appropriate evidence in their libraries.

解説For decades, the cost of academic journals has been increasing, and academic libraries have had to cope with this situation. The "Big Deal" subscription model is no longer available for many libraries. In this study, the Nature Publishing Group Pay-Per-View (PPV) service: Articles on Demand (AOD) is examined from the perspective of costbenefit.This study also examined whether the AOD model fits the needs of researchers. To demonstrate the cost evaluation and usage features, the AOD access log was examined. Globally, the AOD cost is lower than that of any other type of subscription contract. AOD cannot be archived, but the AOD log indicates that recent material is accessed more frequently than older material. Old papers are not used. After the introduction of AOD, the number of used titles increase by more than two times the previous number. AOD fits the potential needs of researchers. Major usage concentrates on specific journals, while minor usage extends to a wide range of titles. The combination of a title-based contract with PPV would be an effective means of coping with the increasing costs of academic journals.(著者抄録)

According to Ulrich's International Periodicals Directory (1997), the number of newly-established journals in the field of neurological science has been tending to increase and 92 new journals were established in 1980's, the greatest number ever. In Japan, there was a correlation between the value of the impact factor and numbers of newly established holding journals. Brain Research, Neurology, and Journal of Comparative Neurology were selected as the core journals in the field of neurological science in the 1984 and 1995 edition of the two-step model targetting 85 journals in the neurological science field. The impact factor of the Journal of Neuroscience suddenly began to increase in 1988, and it was the journal with greatest increase in value in the field of neurological science. The field of neurological science, from the stand point of linkage with the physiological science field, has deepened its links with the core journals of the natural science field. This reflects the fact that the field of neurological science is rated as the research subject field at the center of the natural sciences.

The handling of referenced articles is one of the most typical tasks of researchers. Nonetheless, the work is important to the progress of research even though it involves monotonous, laborious, boring, and routine tasks. Recently, most publishers provide portable document format (PDF, Adobe Systems) versions of articles and researchers have to manage a large number of these files. In this paper, we introduce an application named iPapers to manage PDF files based on the reference metadata. The software provides a user interface with the ability to access articles using the name of the author, journal, MeSH keyword, and/or year of publication. These indices are automatically created using metadata. The software complements the metadata through open public databases, e. g. PubMed. Users can import the downloaded PDF files to the application with a ‘drag and drop’ operation. Users can also search for articles using PubMed, download a PDF file from a publisher's site, and import the downloaded file into the application. This application will help researchers to manage many article reprints in PDF format.

The methods of citation analysis of scientific journals are reviewed and explained. The methods reviewed are: evaluation of journals, aging of journals, scattering of articles, citation relationship among journals, citation relationship among articles. These methods are able to be applied to library practices of selection, retirement, evaluation of journal collection, user study, and document retrieval.

At the Nara Medical University Library,we started using Twitter in June 2012 to provide timely information regarding PC use to enable efficient use of the library. Before starting Twitter, we investigated Twitter use at other university libraries and found that 75 university libraries used Twitter. We decided to tweet 3 times a day and to provide information regarding opening hours, events, and book reviews, similar to the usage at other university libraries. A year has passed since we started to use Twitter, but we have only 22 followers. Information activities should be reconsidered so that Twitter may become helpful to library users.著作権者:日本医学図書館協会日本医学図書館協会及び著作者の許諾を得て登録

Health and medical information services attract a great deal of attention in public libraries as a problem solution-type service next to business support services. This is a detailed report about the Health Information Corner (HIC) in Yokohama City Central Library, which opened on December 19, 2006 at which time there were few precedent examples in other public libraries nation-wide. It shows one possibility regarding a health and medical information service aimed at the general public. The report gives concrete examples regarding references and the terms used in the HIC and mentions cooperative efforts with other systems.

The Keio University Library started subscribing electronic journals (e-journals) in 1998, and we had 4, 000 e-journal titles as of December 2001. However, the library has not compiled usage statistics, and the library does not have any manual of e-journals. There are many types of contracts, e. g., package, title by title, etc., and it is difficult to decide between the best choice of new e-journal products. This article describes the number of uses of IDEAL, Synergy, JBC, and PNAS packages, and some disadvantages of package contracts were discovered. The library expected that users would access a great number of titles in the package, but they only accessed a few. The library should aim to contract for titles that users want. Publishers are going to offer new products, and librarians will have to make the best decisions for users.

Background: Evidence-based medicine (EBM) is currently dominating the medical field as a keyword that reflects modern medicine, even in Japan. There are four steps to the practice of evidence-based medicine: 1. formulating a clinical question, 2. collecting evidence, 3. appraising the evidence, 4. applying it to the patient. Practice guidelines are the final products in this stepwise process of EBM.Purpose: Practice guidelines are useful for achieving standardization and efficiency in the quality of medicine, and they are important for implementation of EBM. In this paper, the author (s) retrieved practice guideline articles, quantitatively assessed the number of articles, and analyzed their content.Methods: The MEDLINE database was searched for articles indexed under “Practice Guideline” according to “Publication Type”, and the articles retrieved were counted and analyzed with Excel software.Results: A total of 4, 887 practice guidelines were retrieved, 108 of which were published in 1991, versus 436 in 1992, indicating a 4 fold increase in just this one year. The most frequent major descriptors used to index the practice guidelines were “HIV infections” (124 articles), “breast neoplasms” (99), “mass screening” (95), “asthma” (92), and “hypertension” (86).Conclusion: The word “EBM” was first used by GH Guyatt in 1991, and the Cochrane collaboration was started in 1992. The number of practice guidelines has steadily increased since the introduction of EBM. The development of practice guidelines for diseases was found to have surged even in Japan, with many practice guidelines being available for diseases.
