Merck Medical Reference Now Free Online

Merck has updated their home edition of the Merck Manual of

Medical Information. It's now available for free online at

http://www.MerckHomeEdition.com/ .

From this page there are two versions available. The first

version is the text-only version, which you can access at

http://www.merck.com/pubs/mmanual_home/contents.htm .

The interactive edition contains animations, illustrations,

audio pronunciations, etc. and is available on the left side

of the screen. The interactive edition is housed in a pop-up

window. A search form is housed in another popup window.

As you browse (or search) the interactive edition of the

manual, you'll see that certain words are highlighted (in

medium blue -- they don't stick out very well.) Those are

words which can be looked up. Icons indicate photographs,

drawings, animations, etc. A couple of casual searches found

plenty of interactive extras. Worth a look
