Electronic Reference Desk

The Electronic Reference Desk (ERD) offers quality-filtered health-related information from the Internet, packaged in one of two different information tools - General Reference and Pathfinders. This up-to-date and pre-packaged information provides the best of the Web for health information and a significant time-saver for those using the Internet for research purposes.
