Remember – to access the American Psychiatric
Publishing’s e-books, you must login to HINARI and
go to the specific letter of Find journals by A-Z drop
down menus.
Via the ’A’ listing in the Find journals by A-Z drop down
menus, we have accessed Applied Mycology, an E-book
published by CABI, a not-for profit science based
development and information organization.
This is one example from the 21 titles in the human health
and nutrition sub-set of CAB eBooks available via HINARI.
These titles include Home Parenteral Nutrition, Integrated
Food Safety and Public Health, and Parasitic Flatworms.
Note: the CAB publications are large PDF files that are
slow to download. You are able to download an individual
chapter which is a considerably faster option.
We have opened the initial page of Applied
Mycology. It is a PDF file that allows you
to print all or part of the material.
From the page with the link to Applied Mycology, we
have clicked on the listing for Human, Health, Food
& Nutrition. This page gives you a listing of the CAB
E-books in this broad subject category and links to
the full-text for those available to HINARI users.
Reminder – access the CAB E-books from the Find
journals by A-Z drop down menus.
We now view some Internet-based sources of E-books besides
those available from HINARI. Using the Internet Addresses
(url) at the top of the slides, you will have access to these free
E-books.
The initial site is a gateway titled FreeBooks4Doctors! that links
to 365 health–related E-Books. This site can be accessed from
the HINARI Other Free Collections drop down menu.
This slide lists the Infectious Diseases E-books
from the gateway.
You can access the titles by topic, impact factor,
stars (rating system), language and year. The
site notes which titles are PDF files.
To access the full-text books, you will be
redirected from the MedicalBooks4Doctors
gateway to the website of the specific resource.
We have opened two books from the Infectious Diseases
listing in FreeBooks4Doctors!. The first is the ABX Guide
from Johns Hopkins University (USA). This E-book is
organized as a website with numerous hypertext links
from the initial page. Users must register (free).
Note the url at the top of the slide.
The 2nd example from FreeBooks4Doctors is a
Centers from Disease Control and Prevention
(CDC) E-book titled Epidemiology and
Prevention of Vaccine Preventable Diseases.
From the links in the table of contents, you could
open PDF files of specific chapters. This Ebooks replicates the format of a print book.
Note that the page does have links to related
resources from the CDC website.
Another excellent source of Ebooks for health practitioners
in low-income countries is the
Hesperian Online Library.
Note the list English titles for
download (as PDF files). This
site can be accessed from the
url at the top of the slide.
After clicking on the Where There is
No Doctor download link, another
webpage will display. To access the
downloadable PDF files, check the No
thanks (and take me to the free
downloads) button and Go box.
Another useful gateway is the FreeBookCentre.Net
We have opened the Medical Books category. Note
that these links are organized by broad subject
category plus there is a keyword Search engine.
You can access this category from the drop down
menu using the simpler www.freebookcentre.net url.
This slide contains a list of
infectious diseases Books that
are free on the Internet. Note
that the [Language] is listed.
Another good resource for E-books is the World
Health Organization’s Health topics A-Z list. By
clicking on one of the links to a specific topic, you
will be redirected to a page that includes WHO
publications in multiple formats including E-books.
Once again, this is accessible from the URL at the
top of the slide and you do not need to be logged
into HINARI to access these resources.
We have opened the Infectious Diseases
page from the WHO Health Topics subject
listing. Note that there are links to various
WHO documents including E-books under
the Publications sub-heading.
The NCBI Bookshelf contains access to over
700 e-books in life science and healthcare
including books, collections, databases,
documentations and reports . Note the lists
of New & Updated and Featured Titles. We
will open the Browse Titles option.
The NCBI Bookshelf can be searched by Types, Subjects and Publishers.
We have displayed the complete title alphabetical listing - with the Type of
material listed in the last column. You also can complete a keyword Search.
If you click on Book Types, you can access 110 ‘books’.
The last set of E-books is the MERCK
MANUALS Online Medical Library, the
electronic version of the print Merck
Manuals. Access (keyword search, a
detailed index, sections and symptoms) to
all these resources is from this index
webpage.
We have accessed the Infections Diseases
section which contains a detailed directory
to information on this topic.
The Dengue page contains information on Symptoms,
Diagnosis, Treatment and Prevention of this disease.
This Online Medical Library functions as a website with
hypertext links. For the information on each specific topic,
you have the options to Print, Email or PDA download.
This is the end of Module 7.5.
There is a workbook to accompany this module.
The workbook will take you through a live session
