Abstract
An evaluation of the usefulness of a number of secondary information sources for retrospective literature searching in the occupational diseases subject area is presented. Several sec ondary sources were found to be of value but no single source provided comprehensive retrieval of relevant information. Thus, despite considerable overlap between sources, several must always be searched if all information pertinent to a query is required. Some recommendations are made as to when particu lar secondary sources should be used.Keywords
