    Author: Alloway C, Cool E, Feintuch S, Giblin C.
    Journal: Med Ref Serv Q; 1992; 11(1):39-45. PubMed ID: 10119007.
    Abstract:
    Health Index Plus, a consumer health information CD-ROM database, was field-tested by staff and patrons at a public library in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Ease-of-use, database content and quality, and appropriateness for audience were evaluated. Overall, patrons found the database simple to use. The contents focus on topics of popular interest and provide access to scientific material that is normally not available or comprehended by many public library users. Although some indexing problems and other shortcomings were noted, the database is recommended for public and other libraries providing consumer health information.
