It has loads of links to all kinds of Pharmacy-related sites around the

Attached is a text version of my handout on Internet resources for pharmacists.
It is not intended to be comprehensive, but rather to show the range of
Internet sources of use to practicing pharmacists. The general sources listed
contain links to many pharmacy related cites. I hope you find it useful.
This was first compiled last November, but the URLs were still valid 2
weeks ago.

I circulate a periodic electronic bulletin about food and nutrition resources
of interest to health professionals. The resources are all written,
prepared or compiled by food and nutrition professionals, academics or
physicians. The bulletin details books, pamphlets, vidoes and other
offerings from the field of scientific medicine (as opposed to alternative
medicine). It's a bit stodgy, I'll admit.
The resources are self-published or from small printers and publishers
who do not advertise to the public or to librarians.
I hope will find it useful.

The _LDL Health Pals Support Network_ isn't the service Darlene Chapman
was asking about in a message to this list earlier today, but it does much
the same kind of thing as the service she is seeking.
Patients seeking support can be matched with other patients who have the
same disease, or one that is very similar, via the Internet. The _LDL
Support Network_ has a home page on the web at the following address:
I have copied most of the text of their home page below in this message so

There is an article in today's USA Today (2-7-96), page 7D on
citing on-line information.
According to the article, there is a new book coming out by Li and
Crane titled The Official Internet World Guide to Electronic
Styles: A Handbook to Citing Electronic Information (Meckler Media,
$19.99). It is also available on-line at
http://www.uvm.edu/~xli/reference/estyles.html.
I don't know if the medical community has yet to include this new
medium in their style manuals, but it's interesting nonetheless.

I've gathered these sites for an article I'm writing for our provincial hospital libraries association. I hope they don't mind if I list them here as well. There are literally THOUSANDS of health sites on the Net now - these are a few that I think are worth checking out. In addition to these, the "health" sections of the generic Web indexes (eg Yahoo, Galaxy, ExCite) have lots of pointers. -------------------------------------------------- Discussion: The alt.support. hierarchy in Usenet is chatty but serves a useful function for individuals living with a particular disease or disability. -------------------------------------------------- Shopping lists (ie sites with lots of links):
MedWeb Consumer Health section http://www.cc.emory.edu/WHSCL/medweb.consumer.html
Tom Flemming's Home Page (Internet King librarian at McMaster University) - look under "illness" or "wellness" http://www-hsl-mcmaster.ca/tomflem/top.html -------------------------------------------------- Just a few individual sites that are worth a look (my opinion):
MedHelp International ftp:// or telnet:// or http://medhlp.netusa.net/
Good Health Web http://www.social.com/health/
Iowa Health Book http://indy.radiology.uiowa.edu/Patients/IowaHealthBook/ PatientInfo.html
Wellness Web http://www.wellweb.com/wellness
Your Health Daily (New York Times Syndicate) http://nytsyn.com/medic/
OncoLink http://oncolink.upenn.edu/
CancerNet (National Cancer Institute) http://wwwicic.nci.nih.gov/CancerNet.html
Internet Mental Health http://www.mentalhealth.com/p.htm -------------------------------------------------- For more sites, see the February 1996 issue of Internet World - there was a feature on health which listed lots of URLs.
Finally, I find that the Usenet group comp.infosystems.www.announce is a good place to watch for new consumer-oriented Web sites.
If anyone has a "fave" site, please share with the list.

999999999999999 Date: Mon, 5 Feb 1996 16:49:34 EST From: "Rick Lawson, MSLIS" <lawson@HEALTHGATE.COM> Subject: Re: HealthGate: Too good to be true???
We do think HealthGate is too good to be true, but I wanted to clarify some points in the note Catherine posted earlier today.
The $14.95 per month fee covers unlimited access to the following databases found in our Clinical and Medical Research Information section:
MEDLINE (including MeSH) Health Planning and Administration AIDSLINE AIDSDRUGS AIDSTRIALS BIOETHICSLINE MDX Health Digest CANCERLIT
Searchers can either let our ReADER technology translate their natural language query into MeSH or use BRS commands to search these files. Either way of asking HealthGate a question produces the same results.
There is no catch. The pricing is $14.95. This fee is for a single user -- librarian, clinician, or researcher -- and provides for unlimited access to these databases. Site license pricing is also available. Transaction based pricing of 25 cents per reference is available for those users not wishing to participate in the monthly unlimited plan.
Although we wish it were so, additional databases, such as CINAHL, EMBASE, and PsycINFO, are not included in the unlimited monthly plan, but are priced very competitively and will be released within the next few weeks.
Other information sources, such as the Well-Connected Consumer Health Reports and the seven reference books found in the MDX Personal Health Library, are part of our Patient Health and Medical Information section. These sources are available as part of a separate unlimited pricing plan or via transaction pricing.
I hope I have answered any questions Catherine s note may have raised.
