Dean Giustini, Open access to the digital medical atheneum - work in progress, UBC Google Scholar Blog, January 28, 2006. Excerpt:
Open access to high-quality, digitized versions of the most influential medical books in history is improving, all the time. The National Library of Medicine's History of Medicine Division and the British Library have notable digitization projects worth exploring. NLM's amazing historical collections examine various facets of medical history, and include Islamic manuscripts, searchable images and even the Vesalius Update. Klaus Graf points out by email that the Bibliothèque interuniversitaire de médecine (BIUM) lists over 400 OA medical books, mostly in French, and over 3,000 OA medical texts of all kinds, in many languages. |
