    5 out of 5 stars Essential for more effective, time-saving MEDLINE research.......2003-03-29

    Written by the lead Instruction and Outreach Librarian at Stanford University School of Medicine's Lane Medical Library, the main purpose of this pocket guide is to help medical and related professionals construct and conduct faster, easier and more effective MEDLINE searches. It also helps you decide when it's more appropriate to use the free PubMed interface for MEDLINE or Ovid, a commercial (fee-based) alternative, in case you have access to both or wonder whether it's worth subscribing to Ovid.

    MEDLINE archives change daily and PubMed services change almost weekly, yet it's been four years since the last guide to MEDLINE was published, and there have been only two books before this one that focused solely on MEDLINE and were intended for professionals, rather than consumers. If you choose only one guide, this is the one to get.

    Chapter 1 provides an overview of medical bibliographic databases and tips for when to use which ones. Chapter 2 is an orientation to MEDLINE's structure and to basic search strategies, as well as an intro to the pros and cons of PubMed (free) vs. Ovid (fee). Stave goes into both in considerable depth in separate chapters devoted to each service. The two appendices cover Ovid's evidence-based medicine reviews collection (Cochrane's Database of Systematic Reviews, for instance) and other databases, such as ClinicalTrials.gov and LOCATORplus. There's a five-page glossary at the end, too, so you'll know what terms such as "check tags" and "explode" mean in this context.

    HIGHLIGHTS:

    This smallish book is filled with full-color screenshots, often two or three to a page, which is invaluable in helping the reader understand the explanations in the narrative text. The author gives detailed instructions for designing search strategies and other approaches to try if your first attempts don't produce the results you need. The effect is like looking over the author's shoulder while he patiently explains things to you, step by step.

    The core sections on PubMed and Ovid are each broken down into three subsections:

    * Overview, Screens, and Tools;
    * Searching (by single citation, author or using various methods for topics); and
    * Post-Search Data Management.

    The data management section covers downloading and saving your search results, using commercial citation management software, and ordering full-text articles when they're not available free. The orientation to MEDLINE's relatively new Cubby service, alone, will make your searches less frustrating and time-consuming almost instantly. And did you know that, contrary to what many supposed experts say, you can search online for articles published pre-MEDLINE, from 1985-1965? (See LOCATORplus.)

    This is a book you need to keep handy while you're working on becoming more of a whiz at online research, so it's designed to tuck into a lab or suit coat pocket (about 8 in. H x 4.5 in. W). It's basically a lucid, logical tutorial. If you invest the time to go through each of the five or so search strategies included in both the PubMed and Ovid sections, you will not only get better results, but you will surely save countless hours ever after.

    LIMITATIONS:

    Overall, this book is a gem. The only serious drawback is that the narrative text is in 8-point type, which makes it extremely difficult to read if you're over 40 (or younger, but tired). It would also be far easier to use in spiral-bound rather than perfect-bound format. If the publisher reprints it, let's hope they ditch the pocket-sized guide idea and whatever motivation to save printing costs that influenced the decision of the design for this first edition and make readability and usability higher priorities.

    SUMMARY:

    The Field Guide to MEDLINE is a clear, comprehensive and simple but not simplistic guide. It's an essential how-to and reference book for anyone who needs to search medical literature online, either frequently or occasionally.

    5 out of 5 stars Field Guide to Medline: Making Searching Simple--A MUST HAVE.......2003-01-22

    This book is an excellent resource tool for searching Medline,
    learning more about the intricacies of literature searches, or improving/enhancing skills. This text is incredibly comprehensive and thorough and is a must have for every information professional. Simple to understand, I would also recommend this book to any library user eager to acquire skills needed to run the perfect Medline search. Two thumbs up! We have two copies of this important book in our medical library and both are used continuously.

        -interactivity
        -frequency of site updates

        Now you no longer have to become an Internet search expert to find the information you need in caring for your health and that of those you love.

        5 out of 5 stars Excellent reference.......2004-07-03

        If you need a quick reference-guide for navigating the internet for medical information then this is the book for you. Sites are rated and brief descriptions of them are offered. Having this book handy near your pc is a great help if you find yourself looking up medical information regularly on the net. There are a lot of pointers that provide information about web content. Moreover, the book is not long and full of the useless kind of gar-bahge you usually find in Dummy books (the internet for dummies, www for dummies, dummies for dummies, etc). Dr. Ian Smith's guide to Medical Websites is a great aid. Glad it's available.

        3 out of 5 stars Nice Book . . ........2001-11-09

        This book has many interesting sites and good information. As a "health nut," I purchase many Internet health oriented books. One of my favorites is 300 Incredible Things for Health, Fitness, and Diet on the Internet. Both of these books will assist in becoming an informed consumer.

Each entry contains a site address, a layperson's description of the information at that site and, if available, the e-mail address of a contact person at that site. In addition there are several introductory chapters that explain in non-technical language how the Internet and World Wide Web work and how to troubleshoot common problems encountered while searching for information.

            5 out of 5 stars A Wonderful and Valuable Book.......1999-12-12

            Cuts through the red internet tape right to the medical site. This is a comprehensive, well organized book that can save time, which is crucial ,when you're sick or a loved on is ,and you are looking for help on the internet. It has every conceivable category in a handy paperback edition. It's contents tell all from How the Internet works to a detailed list of chapters(alphabetical of course)ranging from allergy, asthma to urology. Within each category the authors almost seem to read your mind. The sub -headings under Urology,for example, are from bedwetting to prostate problems and vasectomy. There's even a chapter on Sports Medicine. Given the state of our Medical profession in the USA today this is really an essential tool up there with the dictionary and Dr. Spock.

              Book Description

              'Guide to Medical Informatics, the Internet and Telemedicine' presents an easy-to-read overview of the subject, and explains basic concepts in a non-technical manner. Since these technologies continue to develop at a rapid rate, the book is designed to familiarize clinicians with the more fundamental aspects and to enable them to make informed decisions about the application of this technology. This guide is written for the general medical reader and assumes little or no familiarity with medical informatics. It will also be useful for medical students as well as allied healthcare workers and research scientists who need to understand or apply these technologies in their practice.

              5 out of 5 stars A Great Place to Start in Medical Informatics.......2000-06-14

              This book is a good place to start if you're unsure of medical informatics and need some direction. It's helpful to get the book, read it, and then go to the references for further information on the topics that interest you.

              I found the book surprisingly readable - the authors style makes it easy to read chapter after chapter with relative ease, far more so than other medical informatics books available. It's not an exhaustive book by any means, but I couldn't recommend a better place to test the water, and see if there's anything in Medical Informatics that grabs you.

              5 out of 5 stars Superb introduction and overview.......2000-02-07

              This is the finest overview of medical informatics in print. Most such texts discuss the issues within informatics and approaches toward their solution. Coiera provides a cogent discussion of why the issues arise, how they interact with each other, and what they mean for clinicians and informaticians. The author's thought and language are remarkably clear and engaging. The discussion is set squarely in the context of healthcare (although more concrete clinical examples would aid clinicians who come to the book at the beginning of their work in informatics). It is informed by a deep understanding of research in medical informatics and computing. The book is an excellent introduction to the subject for clinicians, and I know very few informaticians whose understanding of the field and the specific problems within it would not be deepened and enriched by reading it.

              4 out of 5 stars A good overview of medical informatics.......1998-09-24

              This book provides a good overview of medical informatics. The concepts are introduced in a logical fashion, so that the chapters build on one another. I would recommend it to others as an introductory text. I wished for greater detail in some of the chapters (such as the ones on coding). I also found some of his explanations of models confusing/overly complicated. The chapter on the internet I found least helpful, perhaps because it provided little new information for me. The last section, on intelligent clinical decision support, was very sketchy, and the different approaches not well explained. This was especially true of the chapter on intelligent systems. On the minor complaint side, I found the lack of clear paragraph distinctions irritating, and some of the figures added nothing to the text and could have been left out.

              Overall, it is a reasonable, readable, introduction to a broad subject.
