Library Grand Rounds

More than MEDLINE: Resources of Interest to Clinicians
May 18, 2000

Speaker: Tom Mead, 650-1741, tom.mead@dartmouth.edu

Outline and Resources

Let's not discuss these. They'll be for another day.

    • Drug information resources
    • Popular web-based consumer-oriented super-sites
      • Intelihealth, Mayo Clinic Health Oasis, My Healthy Life, HealthFinder

    More than "MEDLINE" defined

      • what do we want? what do we need?
      • more? less? different?

    Tom's database size chart

      • distinctly pathetic; highly arguable

    National Library of Medicine (NLM) and MEDLINE and the "other" stuff

      • Grateful Med [Note: this interface is slated to die]
      • PubMed
      • Ovid

    There are many many more

      • On the DIALOG system
      • On the OVID system

    So, what can you use?

      • the vast, free "web," of course
      • no, let's not talk about the web; see pretty pictures instead
      • you'll have certain favorite sites
      • you'll have certain favorite search-engines
      • in our web-searching workshop, we like to recommend pre-configured medical supersites, like Medical Matrix, Yale SIRS collection, HealthWeb, Hardin Meta-Directory

    Useful, high-quality resources cost money. Nice "old" money. The Dartmouth College Library System will provide for you. Relax.
