This edition will review a variety of resources

1. Philip S. Hench Walter Reed Yellow Fever Collection
   http://yellowfever.lib.virginia.edu/

   The University of Virginia has mounted this magnificent web site about their Yellow Fever Collection. More than just a list of their own resources, this beautiful web site details as well the people and events that contributed to the discovery of the cause of Yellow Fever.

2. New South Wales Multilingual Health Resources
   http://www.health.nsw.gov.au/health-public-affairs/mhcs/resources/index.html

   From Australia comes a collection of consumer health pamphlets on a variety of topics, and available in an amazing array of languages. If you need an article on breast cancer in Turkish (or Spanish or Russian), this is the place to start.

3. New York State Physician Profile
   http://www.nydoctorprofile.com/welcome.jsp

   If you need information about a New York State physician, this site provides some one-stop shopping. The physician's education, affiliations, the type of insurance they take, and legal actions taken against them are all available here. If there is a down side, it is that it is ONLY for New York State.

4. New Jersey Medical Society Physician Finder
   http://www.msnj.org/pf/index.html

   For information on physicians in New Jersey who are members of the State Medical Society, this free online database provides access to information on the physician's education, affiliations, and contact information. The database is searchable by name, by hospital affiliation and by speciality. The downside is they must be members of the Medical Society, or they are not included.

   My rating:



5. TRIP
   http://www.tripdatabase.com/

   TRIP searches the title and abstract of 55 publications, limiting to those it considers the "best evidence". When you need a small set to examine, try this.

6. And now for something completely different:
   
   The Internet Broadway Database
   http://www.ibdb.com/

   For the patron about to see the revival of Oklahoma, and at a loss as to the name of the original Ado Annie (it was Celeste Holm), finally an Internet resource is available. Search by play, by cast and crew members, by theatre, even by season.
