Thomson Gale Adds Medical Videos to Health Center

Healthology video content—covering more than 60 therapeutic areas, such as oncology, rheumatology, neurology, and gastroenterology—will be available in early 2006 to Health and Wellness Resource Center subscribers at no additional cost. Videos run approximately 4 minutes in length and are designed to engage, entertain, and educate in news magazine formats. All content is developed through a rigorous review process consisting of both internal and external medical or expert review. Each video features biographies of the participants, which can include physicians, scientists, nurses, nutritionists, and fitness trainers, along with patients, caregivers, and advocates. Full transcripts for each video, along with a large library of text resources, also will be available as part of this new Healthology offering. New content will be added each week.

Health and Wellness Resource Center is Thomson Gale's fully integrated, growing electronic resource center for all levels of health research. It features health and medical encyclopedias, journals and pamphlets, articles from general-interest publications, access to key health Web sites, and now video. The interface is designed to provide multiple pathways to key information for both novice and experienced searchers.
