The committee has chosen one out- standing man from each of these fields to lead the conference with discussions about their rol s in the classroom and how they improve teaching within their field. II
William R. Breneman, Luther Dana Waterman professor of zoology at I.U., will address the dentists on "The Scientist in the Classroom."

About 65 per cent of the full-time faculty is expected to attend; the conference already has an overflow registration for participants. Besides the teachers, there are 12 students from many of the different programs in the dental school who will participate.
The I.U. School of Dentistry is one of the very few graduate schools in the Country which devotes several days each year to the theme of improving
teaching. The conference is made possible through the support of the Indiana University Fotmdation, the dental school alumni association, and the regist- ration fees.

PLEA TO FOIL BOOK PHANTOM
.,
Mike Wagoner, student activities officer, warns that the book phantom is loos~
again. The phantom apparently has an insatiable appetite for abandoned tomes and strikes within minutes after their desertion.
Ergo, Wagoner requests that teachers encourage students to write their names and phone numbers in books, that teachers pick up and hold books left in their classrooms, and that teachers ask students to double check their "inventory"
before they leave the classroom. Put simply, all this means: Don't leave those books lying arotmd!

'fhe program was developed at the University of Nebraska Medical Center Library and has been loaned by the Midwest Regional Medical Library. In 16 minutes it explains the background of MEDLINE, comparing it with MEDLARS in terms of data base, retrieval, and response time. It also mentions the factors to be
considered in requesting a MEDLINE search. Using a narr.ative technique, i t then shows the audience how the system solves a specific problem for the user.

The complete MEDLINE printout is shown, from "Hello for Elhill II" through
"Goodbye!". All three logical connectors are used in the formulation, and the "Print," "Print Title," and "Print Full" commands are all shown.
Each step in the search is fully explained, and an attempt is made to show the logical development of the on-line formulation. Typing er'rors and error messages are deliberately included, since audiences enjoy seeing a computer "talk back" to the user.
MEDLINE is available to Medical Center personnel and students. If you are interested in seeing the presentation, please call the Reference
Department, Ext. 7182, for the room number and to give your preferred date.
