The free, online database from Salem that accompanies Magill's Medical Guide. Coming soon are other health-related reference sets that will be included in Salem Health's free online access.. Electronic media brings opportunity, trade-offs and turmoil to reference. CDs, ebook files and online databases offer content delivery options galore. At the same time, the costs of maintaining both traditional print reference and electronic resources has escalated significantly, to the point where most colleges, schools and libraries are forced to choose one format from among the many offered by publishers. Most institutions select either ebook, online database or printed versions of the reference they need. Choosing both print and electronic editions of a single reference title is normally prohibitively expensive, in spite of the clear benefits of offering both to students and patrons. SALEM'S INITIATIVE Salem Press has a solution. Salem Health is a robust online database that includes the complete content of the printed version of Magill's Medical Guide, free to purchasers of the Guide. Purchasing the printed reference delivers online access at no additional cost.
