Abstract

"The computer-based electronic academy of anatomy as the ideal goal", we made this concept to a reality by establishing ANATOMY forum in a nationwide bulletin board system. The concept of ANATOMY forum was designed at a small group meeting of members in Korean Association of Anatomist on October, 1992. Beginning on October 8, 1993, ANATOMY forum offers bulletins, file transfers and citizen band emulation for the anatomist as well as anyone who wants to join. We are providing library area for file transfer with four different library sections-EDUCATION, RESEARCH, INFORMATION OF ACADEMIC SOCIETY and ANATOMY IN GENERAL. In the bulletins we have two kinds of message area. One includes five message sections for the use of all members, consisting of NOTICE, LIBRARY INFORMATION, FOR MEDICAL PERSONNEL, QUESTION and ANSWER and MISCELLANEOUS NOTEBOOK. The another message area is for the executive use of anatomist, including five sections-EDUCATION, LABORATORY, RESTING PLACE, ACADEMIC SOCIETY and CONFERENCE ROOM. Currently we have 115 useful files in the library section, and more than 4,000 informative messages in the bulletins. The number of members of ANATOMY forum is now over than 1,000 including 48 anatomists of the most medical schools in Korea. The majority of the members are medical personnel and medical students. The ANATOMY forum is a group of people who wants to exchange ideas and informations on medical science and anatomy-related topics.
