Researching Medical Literature on the Internet - Gloria Miccioli
provides a thorough review of medical literature available on the
Web. Now that MEDLINE is "free" on the Web, you can get by without
your commercial database access, right? Gloria offers concise
information on the wide range of access points to this service,
the different search strategies and search engines used by each
Web page, the range of information available, and the cost
associated with these sites. Cost? That's right! As you
will discover, "free" is a term that does not necessarily apply
for a significant range of medical literature, that in many cases,
is just what you require. Also included are links to Web guides
on medical resources, links to medical libraries, and tips on
how to maximize your retrieval of information.
