Regarding: Designing and 
Delivering a Public Health Informatics Course (Fall 2000)


I enjoyed this article very much as it surfaces major issues affecting public
health practice. Health agencies at all levels will need health informatics skills
and the ability to use those skills. Graduate education needs to prepare students
for this obvious skill set. Your article should help prepare the way for many more.

Regarding: Scifinder 
Scholar (Fall 2000)


Ann Bolek did a thorough job in describing Scifinder Scholar. I was 
especially impressed by the way she described how the different versions 
evolved. I would add that the non-academic Scifinder has a feature called 
"Keep me posted" which allows users to easily update searches. I hope that 
Chemical Abstracts Service adds this feature to Scifinder Scholar.
