Holly Ann Burt MLIS, Presenter: Nothing to Disclose

1) Identify freely available online image databases and data archives and know their contents and value. 2) Identify freely available online case studies and educational materials. 3) Become familiar with online drug, contrast agents, and other substance databases. 4) Understand basic searching skills across a variety of databases.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is only one of many agencies which support freely available online databases and data archives. In this hands-on workshop, explore the rich variety of online resources for radiographic images and data, imaging tools, drugs and contrast agents, and education (e.g. case studies). Databases covered include PubMed/MEDLINE, the National Cancer Institute’s Cancer Imaging Archive, MedlinePlus.gov and RadiologyInfo for patients and families, plus search engines and portals offering a radiology option. Learn which databases may be the best starting point for your research.
