UpToDate Online Trial



From now until July 31st, Mercer University has TRIAL access to UpToDate Online accessible anywhere!

The Swilley Library is assessing interest from GBCN and COPHS faculty and students in UpToDate.

UpToDate is an good background resource for faculty and students interested in updating their knowledge base. For each clinical issue, an expert in the field reviews the topic, synthesizes information, summarizes key findings, and provides detailed, practical recommendations for patient care. UpToDate contains discussions of medical topics such as internal medicine, pediatrics, ob/gyn and family medicine. Each review article is written by an expert in the field being discussed, and is designed to provide a quick way to get up to speed. The database is updated periodically.

UpToDate includes hundreds of patient information handouts; these topics go through peer review and constant updating as with professional-level topics. It also includes drug information from Lexi-Comp.

Note that because of expense, this resource MAY be available on campus only, from a single terminal at the library. The licensing and pricing must be evaluated.

Click on comments or email us at leslie_sl@mercer.edu to let us know how you like this database!
