Medline databases:
- Useful when you need to know all there is to know on a particular subject in the peer reviewed literature.
Pharmaceutical Sites
- Can focus on a disease and though they may be biased toward their medication as a solution, they are likely to be balanced due to the scrutiny of the FDA.
Discussion lists:
- Great place to ask colleagues that difficult question or to meet others who share the same disease
