YAHOO SERVICE & GOOGLE DATABASE If anyone is a yahoo.com user, under the new version of My Yahoo, it has a drug trial tracking service. If you suffer from a particular condition (any type you could think of), you can track useful drug trials listed by states in the U.S. Unfortunately, this service is only available to people who use the US edition of Yahoo but it is a good reference source.

There is also a new service at Google called Google Scholar. It is a database of profession-specific journals that are in electronic form, available for the first time to people outside of the profession or those who cannot get to a library and search a subscription only database. Another new service is Google books. You will be able to either search full or partial editions of millions of books from at least 3 university libraries, Stanford, Harvard and a collection at Oxford. Currently, this service is only available through google.com. Entry to the book database is from the following text command: books

on ____________(your choice here). Information from the book database will be integrated and presented on the same search page. Book searches will be presented in list form and identified by an icon of 3 books.

I thought people might find this information useful.
