New e-ditions of textbooks added

In the last year, the Talbot Research Library has acquired two electronic resources from major health sciences publishers, Access Medicine, from McGraw-Hill and MDConsult , from Elsevier.  Both products feature electronic editions of their books, among other offerings.  I would like to call your attention to new editions of many of these titles.  These electronic books can be accessed via Access Medicine or MDConsult on the Library’s webpage, or by looking them up in webcat, the library’s web-based catalog.New titles from Access Medicine include:

• Current Medical Diagnosis & Treatment 2008
• Current Diagnosis & Treatment in Family Medicine (2nd ed.)
• Vaughan & Asbury’s General Ophthalmology (17th ed.)
• Fitzpatrick’s Dermatology in General Medicine (17th ed.)
• Current Diagnosis & Treatment : Emergency Medicine (6th ed)
• Hurst’s The Heart (12th ed)
• Smith’s General Urology (17th ed.)
• Pre-publication chapters of Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine (17th ed.)

New titles from MDConsult  include:

• Feldman: Sleisenger & Fordtran's Gastrointestinal and Liver Disease, 8th ed.
• Ferri: Ferri's Clinical Advisor 2008.

Next month, expect to see Campbell’s Orthopedics, 11th ed., included in MDConsult and Harrison’s Principles of Internal Medicine, 17th ed., in Access Medicine.  The library does not plan to purchase the print copy of these texts, except for Harrison’s, so this will allow us to purchase additional titles with our book budget.  Please contact Karen Albert, Beth Lewis, and/or Sherri Place with any questions or comments that you may have.
