Handheld Resources

If you have a mobile device, they can be quite useful on the floor, especially for drug information. Through the library you have access to free downloads of either Micromedex or Clinical Pharmacology for handhelds. Directions for getting either of these and a listing of other handheld resources that might be useful, can be found on this page.
