World Databases in Medicine (World databases series) - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

A powerful, new, subject-specific reference guide, providing comprehensive, in-depth coverage of the world's medical databases, for information professionals and medical researchers. It details medical databases available worldwide in any language and any electronic form CD-ROM, online, realtime, disk, or tape. Unlike other directories, it enables users to evaluate both the differences among databases and all variations of a particular database. All the versions of a database are clustered into a family, and each family of databases is then profiled in a master record, which contains detailed subject and content descriptions, as well as third-party, evaluative, and review extracts. Each master record is followed by secondary records which contain host-specific information such as retrospective coverage, update frequency, thesaurus details, downloading policy, SDI interval, and charges.
