With the proliferation of electronic information products, contemporary biomedical libraries must carefully evaluate and choose among the many available databases, including a variety of drug information resources. This article evaluates three standalone drug databases: eFacts Online, Epocrates Rx Online(tm), and Clinical Pharmacology(tm).
