Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A survey was conducted by the Liverpool University Archives in 1982 to identify existing archives services outside the Public Record Office where automation has taken place or is about to take place, and to undertake a preliminary evaluation of the systems used or proposed. The objective of the study was to identify operational systems and those in the planning stages, conduct an evaluation of those systems, and make recommendations for future action. To obtain information: (1) a questionnaire was sent to archives services known to be active in the field; (2) operational systems were visited; and (3) personal interviews were conducted. Three areas were investigated--records management, archival management, and special applications. Findings show significant developments in records management with two new systems for circulation control; however, no general system or package suitable for immediate dissemination for archive management, and no significant systems for internal management systems and indexing tools were found. It is recommended that work in developing and disseminating a data standard should continue, and funds should be sought to carry out a comparative test and evaluation of software packages. The appendices, which make up the major part of the report, contain brief descriptions of the systems identified, together with examples of input and output, and a list of archives services contacted.

Download or read book Computer Applications in Pharmaceutical Research and Development written by Sean Ekins and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2006-07-11 with total page 840 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A unique, holistic approach covering all functions and phases of pharmaceutical research and development While there are a number of texts dedicated to individual aspects of pharmaceutical research and development, this unique contributed work takes a holistic and integrative approach to the use of computers in all phases of drug discovery, development, and marketing. It explains how applications are used at various stages, including bioinformatics, data mining, predicting human response to drugs, and high-throughput screening. By providing a comprehensive view, the book offers readers a unique framework and systems perspective from which they can devise strategies to thoroughly exploit the use of computers in their organizations during all phases of the discovery and development process. Chapters are organized into the following sections: * Computers in pharmaceutical research and development: a general overview * Understanding diseases: mining complex systems for knowledge * Scientific information handling and enhancing productivity * Computers in drug discovery * Computers in preclinical development * Computers in development decision making, economics, and market analysis * Computers in clinical development * Future applications and future development Each chapter is written by one or more leading experts in the field and carefully edited to ensure a consistent structure and approach throughout the book. Figures are used extensively to illustrate complex concepts and multifaceted processes. References are provided in each chapter to enable readers to continue investigating a particular topic in depth. Finally, tables of software resources are provided in many of the chapters. This is essential reading for IT professionals and scientists in the pharmaceutical industry as well as researchers involved in informatics and ADMET, drug discovery, and technology development. The book's cross-functional, all-phases approach provides a unique opportunity for a holistic analysis and assessment of computer applications in pharmaceutics.

Book excerpt: With the amount of data a business accumulates now doubling every 12 to 18 months, IT professionals need to know how to develop a system for archiving important database data, in a way that both satisfies regulatory requirements and is durable and secure. This important and timely new book explains how to solve these challenges without compromising the operation of current systems. It shows how to do all this as part of a standardized archival process that requires modest contributions from team members throughout an organization, rather than the superhuman effort of a dedicated team. Exhaustively considers the diverse set of issues—legal, technological, and financial—affecting organizations faced with major database archiving requirements Shows how to design and implement a database archival process that is integral to existing procedures and systems Explores the role of players at every level of the organization—in terms of the skills they need and the contributions they can make. Presents its ideas from a vendor-neutral perspective that can benefit any organization, regardless of its current technological investments Provides detailed information on building the business case for all types of archiving projects

The book provides a theoretical rationale for the establishment of an archival program and discusses the managerial, financial, and administrative implications involved in beginning an archives. At the same time, however, it approaches the subject of starting an archives in a practical manner. There are clear descriptions of archival activities, samples of the important archival policy documents and forms, and a current bibliograohy which points to additional texts for further reference. Information on archival organizations is also included to help beginning archives locate and join local and national professional archival networks.
Download or read book Building an Electronic Records Archive at the National Archives and Records Administration written by National Research Council and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2005-06-28 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The federal government generates and increasingly saves a large and growing fraction of its records in electronic form. In 1998, the National Archives and Record Administration (NARA) launched its Electronic Archives (ERA) program to create a system to preserve and provide access to federal electronic records. To assist in this project, NARA asked the NRC to conduct a two-phase study to provide advice as it develops the ERA program. The first two reports (phase one) provided recommendations on design, engineering, and related issues facing the program. This report (phase two) focuses on longer term, more strategic issues including technology trends that will shape the ERA system, archival processes of the ERA, and future evolution of the system. It also provides an assessment of technical and design issues associated with record integrity and authenticity.
