MedlinePlus

Today I did my first research project over Medline plus.Medline Plus was designed to answer medical questions. This datebase brings together medical information from proffesional sources all over the world. On the homepage I did a basic search on oncology. When the site brought up my search results it first defined Oncology in everyday terms. One result said intestinal cancers. I clicked on it and it brought up a page that begins by defining the subject and giving you other names the it is known by. Then it gives you tons of links that have resources, ways to learn more, recent developments, research help and more. The database also gives pictures and models to help in the research process. Statistical information as well as an Encyclopedia are included in search results. This database is not very exciting but it does work well, and it gives the users tons of information.
