Abstracts of journal articles are usually available online. Complex topics with many facets can be searched quickly and easily. Words in the titles and abstracts of journal articles can be used to customize search results. Searches related to patient care are given top priority. Medical Center affiliates can also request a search through the Request Module of the Online Catalog .
Search results are available both in printed format and on floppy disks.
Results can also be sent directly to requestors through their e-mail accounts. Patrons wishing to obtain their search results on disk must provide the Library with a PC-formatted disk. There is no additional charge. Students paying cash for online searches must pick up their search results at the Library's Circulation Desk. Most Medical Center departments provide the Library with lists of individuals authorized to charge online search services.
