ABOUT THE DATABASE

Salem Health is a state-of-the-art online reference source that is as up-to-the-minute as you can find.

Virtually all of the content in Magill's Medical Guide is available online, including illustrations and sidebars, indexes, appendixes and other back matter. Cross-references in the form of "See Also" boxes will link directly to appropriate articles. Key terms, used in the body of articles, will link to a complete "Glossary." "Further Information" citations are extensive and authoritative. Article citation information is included with every article.

The electronic resource includes extremely flexible search and browsing capabilities. Students and patrons can save articles and searches to personalized logon areas for later retrieval. Search controls by demographic group focus searches as do the categorization of articles into eight major groups:

• Anatomy & Physiology
• Diagnosis & Testing
• Diseases, Disorders, & Symptoms
• Mental Health
• Prevention & Lifestyle
• Social Issues
• Specialties & Health Care Providers
• Treatment & Therapy
