CD- ROM. A new advance in medical information retrieval.
The massive production of medical information is being met by new technologies for storing and retrieving knowledge. Recent years have witnessed the maturation of time-sharing information utilities into a full-blown industry. In medicine these services have provided bibliographic information but have recently expanded to full-text availability of journals and books. Now optical storage technology, most conspicuously the compact disk read only memory (CD- ROM), provides similar massive information storage and retrieval affordable to microcomputer users. Such devices might replace many of the functions of time-sharing.[1]References
