Duke University Medical Center Library Print Indexes & Abstracts Catalog
An inventory of the availability of and subject coverage for the print indexes and abstracts in the Medical Center Library. To assist patrons in using these resources and facilitate comprehensive searching, "preceded by" and "continued by" titles are included where appropriate to cover periods prior to and beyond the dates of series publication. Many of these tools are useful for finding resources (journal articles, reports, books, book chapters, etc.) not available in electronic bibliographic databases (e.g. MEDLINE).
