Researching Medical Literature On the Internet - 2005 Update

Researching Medical Literature on the Internet -- 2005 Update by By Gloria Miccioli
http://www.llrx.com/features/medical2005.htm

The proliferation of medical websites is good news for the researcher with a small to non-existent medical collection. Legal researchers often have to consult medical sources, so it is fortunate that the Internet provides free access to a great deal of the medical literature, either in full text or citation/abstract format, and that it offers search capabilities good enough to fulfill most information needs. In addition, public demand for medical information on the World Wide Web continues to grow. Many professionally-oriented health care sites have evolved to meet consumer needs, and consumer-oriented sites often include professional literature. Journals, dictionaries, textbooks, indexes - all can be found on the Net in growing numbers. The sources are varied; they include publishers, government agencies, professional organizations, and health libraries, to name a few.1 In addition, more and more of this information is being offered for free, which is not the trend in other subjects, particularly business and law.
