The Merck manual of medical information : home edition

Merck & Co., Inc. has released a new interactive version of the online home edition of their celebrated medical reference text (reviewed in the March 17, 2000 Scout Report). Selecting the new version launches a window with 24 topic sections listed in a table of contents in the upper-left frame. Selecting a section produces a list of chapters. Chapter topics are listed in the lower-left frame, and interactive elements are indicated with icons. These include photos, videos, animations, illustrations, audio, tables, and sidebars. The Manual is keyword searchable and also allows users to bookmark pages and display a history. The site claims that the current version is for Windows users only, but we were able to access information with a Mac, though not without a few difficulties. A Mac version is promised for the future, and those unwilling to suffer through a few glitches can still access the original text version.
