Instruction to use the E-Library:
The E-Library covers about ten broad specialties of Pediatrics (see Navigation box on the left) and a total of 50 diseases, conditions or therapeutics related headings.
Click the specialty of your choice. You will see find a number of diseases or related headings.
For every disease there are four topics for which you will get peer reviewed journal references:
- Systematic reviews, Meta-analyses or guidelines
- Etiology
- Diagnosis
- Treatment
For therapeutics (eg - Blood component therapy in Hematology/Oncology) or related headings the topics differ.
For every topic - you will see two hyperlinks
1) Abstracts
2) Articles
Clicking the first link will open PubMed - (An index by the NLM, USA, to peer reviewed journal literature), Run a Real Time Search and fetch the most relevant abstracts on the topic. Abstracts may have links to the full text, but these will not be free online.
Clicking the second link will fetch the most relevant references on the topic. But each reference will also contain a link (through an Icon) to the article - free online. This, even if there is no abstract.
Exceptions / Special notes
