3.0 out of 5 starsSome nuggets, but you have to dig for them.
By Judith on February 28, 2003
Format: Paperback
According to the subtitle, the audience for this book is librarians and "health care consumers," but according to the introduction, the audience is both of those and "health professionals," as well. Its stated purpose is to introduce readers to where and how to find health information on the Internet, including the Web, newsgroups and related resources.
The editor and nearly all of the chapter authors or co-authors are librarians by profession, most of them affiliated with universities, usually working in medical libraries.
HIGHLIGHTS
The most thorough and useful chapter is the one by helen-ann brown [sic] and Valerie G. Rankow on various free and fee-for-service or pay-per-view gateways to searching the National Library of Medicine's MEDLINE archives of medical journal articles. The co-authors include two tables that compare features and advantages of six free services that offer access to MEDLINE, plus info on four fee-based services.
These charts help readers choose which services may be preferable for their particular purposes. When the authors explain how to narrow a search to a specific focus or to stipulate search criteria (such as the prognosis for a disease), they include a sample search that explains their search strategy, lists the key words that strategy translates to in Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), and shows one search result as an example. This chapter is far more valuable for the reader's long-term benefit than the many other chapters that suggest starting at megasites or Web search engines, and then repeat the same site info throughout the book.
The chapters on statistical information and medical journals are also good, although some of this information is included in others chapters where the authors didn't stick to their assigned topics.Read more ›
