If you would like to point to any of these materials from your WWW page, please
feel free. But please do LINK to the original documents, rather than copying and
serving from your local site.
Exception: The Department of Radiology does permit mirroring
of BrighamRAD. Requests regarding the development of mirror sites are reviewed
and judged on a case-by-case basis.
Portions of this work may be individually downloaded, copied, and cited for the
personal and educational purposes of individuals and organizations in their work,
provided that proper attribution and context are given.
Commercial reproduction
or multiple distribution of any kind is prohibited. A
mirror site is intended to be an exact "replica" of an existing web site. The
main purpose for creating a mirror site is to improve access in remote locations.
For example, it may be faster for a user in Spain to access a BrighamRAD mirror
site hosted on a server in Europe than to access the "official" host server in
Boston, Mass.
However, mirror sites are not necessarily authorized or sanctioned by the hosts
of the original site. They often become outdated. Furthermore, files downloaded
for mirroring can be altered by mirror hosts. If you suspect that a page is outdated
or has been altered, please check the URL in the location bar of your browser.
The official URL should be listed at the bottom of each page. Only pages served
from the official site will have URLs that match. (NOTE: In the case of teaching
files, the URL of the search page, http://brighamrad.harvard.edu/education/online/tcd/tcd.html,
is given.) The Department of Radiology at Brigham and Women's Hospital can
only guarantee the timeliness and integrity of official pages.
If you would like to create a BrighamRAD mirror site, please contact the BrighamRAD
Design Team. Please identify your organization, the purpose for creating a
new mirror site, and the location of the proposed host server. You will be asked
to sign an agreement stating your intention (1) to maintain an up-to-date mirror
of the site and (2) to respect the integrity of the BrighamRAD home site.
Reviews,
awards, advancing standards, and more. In
the July/August 1996 issue of the RSNA EJ (Electronic
Journal), B Leonard Holman, Gina L Mammone, Robert A Greenes, and J Anthony
Parker provide an overview of BrighamRAD goals and accomplishments in their article
entitled BrighamRAD: An Approach to Education, Decision Support, Information
Dissemination, and Collaboration via the World Wide Web.
