Spotlight on STAT!Ref

STAT!Ref, is a searchable collection of 46 current medical books. The books can be browsed or searched, at either a basic or advanced level. Advanced searching allows you to select individual or multiple titles, set the precision setting, and include related concepts or suffixes.
Results are sorted by categories, such as drug information, patient information, and point of.
You can customize your view of STAT!Ref by clicking on the "Preferences" link in the upper right hand corner of the page. My STAT!Ref users have the ability to add, edit, or delete their own personal search sets. STAT!Ref also includes a number of additional resources:
Stedman’s Medical Dictionary, self-assessment tools for medical students and residents, and MedCalc 3000, a medical reference and tool set that encompasses a wide array of pertinent medical formulae, clinical criteria sets and decision tree analysis tools. STAT!Ref books can be accessed individually from the Library’s E-Books link, or through the STAT!Ref link on
the Library’s Databases list.
