Free Swine FLu Resources From Gale and EBSCO

Gale is providing free access to Global Issues in Context and health- and medicine-related ebooks from the Gale Virtual Reference Library to make reliable, expert information regarding the H1N1 virus, commonly known as “swine flu,” readily available. Librarians can install a widget (www.gale.cengage.com/flu) to their homepage, Facebook page, or blog, allowing their community to access the information at the library or from any computer with an Internet connection.

Not to be outdone, EBSCO Publishing and the medical editors of DynaMed also have created a free site containing the clinical summaries related to Pandemic H1N1. The web site (www.ebscohost.com/flu) contains flu-related content from DynaMed, Nursing Reference Center, and Patient Education Reference Center. The site is designed to provide doctors, nurses, and patients with the latest evidence-based information related to influenza, including patient information in 17 languages.
