    Abstract
    Prior research has shown disparities in pharmacy access related to race/ethnicity, income, and other sociodemographic factors. There is currently no consistent definition of low pharmacy access and there is no federal designation for areas underserved by pharmacies. The purpose of this study was to expand on prior pharmacy accessibility research and develop a conceptual model of pharmacy access in selected racially diverse urban areas of the United States. Through the application of geographic information software (GIS) mapping, the enhanced two-step floating catchment area (E2SFCA) methodology, and multiple discriminant analysis, the pharmacy landscape and relative pharmacy access were qualitatively and quantitatively described for the study areas. Models of pharmacy access based on distance and travel time were also derived. Pharmacy access varied by racial composition. Factors most influential to pharmacy access included socioeconomic position, transportation use, and population vulnerability.

      Secure Remote Access to Telemetry: A Study in How to Allow Remote Access to Satellite Telemetry Data

      McClinton, Arthur T., Jr.; Noblis, Inc. (International Foundation for Telemetering, 2009-10)
      The need to allow remote access to telemetry data from closed networks has long existed. To ensure the correct engineers are available for anomaly resolution, NOAA developed the Secure Remote Access Server (SRAS) to allow transfer of satellite telemetry to an external secure server. SRAS uses one-way links to protect the ground system and secure communications for all communications with the user. After the SRAS was developed, a similar system was developed to support file transfers. This paper provides an overview of these systems and lessons learned in the development of one-way fiber systems.

      The Access Principle: The Case for Open Access to Research and Scholarship

      Willinsky, John (Cambridge, Mass.: MIT Press, 2006)
      This work is copyrighted by MIT Press and licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 2.5 License . MIT Press has granted permission to place a copy in dLIST. Readers can also purchase the book from MIT Press, which publishes it (see alternative location for details). Following abstract is from MIT Press: Questions about access to scholarship go back farther than recent debates over subscription prices, rights, and electronic archives suggest. The great libraries of the past -- from the fabled collection at Alexandria to the early public libraries of nineteenth-century America -- stood as arguments for increasing access. In The Access Principle, John Willinsky describes the latest chapter in this ongoing story -- online open access publishing by scholarly journals -- and makes a case for open access as a public good. A commitment to scholarly work, writes Willinsky, carries with it a responsibility to circulate that work as widely as possible: this is the access principle. In the digital age, that responsibility includes exploring new publishing technologies and economic models to improve access to scholarly work. Wide circulation adds value to published work; it is a significant aspect of its claim to be knowledge. The right to know and the right to be known are inextricably mixed. Open access, argues Willinsky, can benefit both a researcher-author working at the best-equipped lab at a leading research university and a teacher struggling to find resources in an impoverished high school. Willinsky describes different types of access -- the New England Journal of Medicine, for example, grants open access to issues six months after initial publication, and First Monday forgoes a print edition and makes its contents immediately accessible at no cost. He discusses the contradictions of copyright law, the reading of research, and the economic viability of open access. He also considers broader themes of public access to knowledge, human rights issues, lessons from publishing history, and "epistemological vanities." The debate over open access, writes Willinsky, raises crucial questions about the place of scholarly work in a larger world -- and about the future of knowledge. John Willinsky is Pacific Press Professor of Literacy and Technology at the University of British Columbia. He is the author of Empire of Words: The Reign of the OED and a developer of Open Journals Systems software.

      SIPP ACCESS: Information tools improve access to national longitudinal panel surveys

      Robbin, Alice; David, Martin (Reference and Adult Services Division (RASD) of the American Library Association, 1988)
      SIPP ACCESS represents an innovation in providing services for statistical data. A computer-based, integrated information system incorporates both the data and information about the data. SIPP ACCESS systematically links the technologies of laser disk, mainframe computer, microcomputer, and electronic networks and applies relational technology to create great efficiencies and lower the costs of storing, managing, retrieving, and transmitting data and information about complex statistical data collections. This information system has been applied to national longitudinal panel surveys. The article describes the reasons why SIPP ACCESS was created to improve access to these complex surveys and provides examples of tools that facilitate access to information about the contents of these large data sets.
