A hospital formulary designed for desk top publising (DTP) was published according to the online database system UMIN. In addition to the revision of the textual content, some illustrations and drawings were also inserted in the previous format of our formulary and the publication of the DTP-directed formulary was established in this edition. The database according to this new system at our hospital which has been maintained using a relational database software, was found to be useful for developing additional materials, such as worksheets as well as for insertings structural drawing objects on the drug tables each time. Using the local network system (LAN) by the Windows NT Server, it was possible to perform benefitial data conversions between different OS which thus led to the effective edition of our work. Electric publication of the formurary is suggested to be an excellent method provide the most up-to-date contents of all drug information and to satisfy the need to constantly update the informationl contents.
