News about the Physician’s Desk Reference (PDR)


The print edition of the PDR has ceased and the publisher has made the resource available electronically on the Internet for free at www.pdr.net. The new name of the resource is Prescriber’s Digital Reference. UA library patrons can connect to the PDR via a link in the library catalog or a link in the A-Z Database list. The new online version makes it convenient for anyone, not just medical personnel, to look up information on medications. The layout is very clear, the design is functional, and the simple search bar provides easy access to the massive amount of content. A fee-based, electronic version of the PDR is available for individuals but not for institutions.
