10 Years!

It’s been 10 years that the Libraries have been creating content on this site! As a glance back to a decade ago, what did we publish on?

• AccessMedicine – still a great product
• AltHealthWatch – to which we’re still subscribed via EBSCOhost
• REMM – Radiation Emergency Medical Management, from NLM
• PDAs – OK that one hasn’t aged well…

Happy Anniversary to the Libraries News.
