Letter to the Editor (1)

Dear. Mrs. Sally Wood-Lamont,

The Medical Library of Estonia has read with great interest in the last issue of Newsletter to European Health Librarians, 1st February 2000, No 50. that "Harrison's Principles of Internal Medicine" is now available via web We are very much interested in advertising this possibility to hospitals of Estonia. But I am very sorry to say that the address given in the Newsletter Internet address http://www harrisononline.com didn't open for us but gave the answer "that URL is not found" so we hesitate in giving the named address to our hospitals. Please, can you be so kind and inform us about our possible mistake in no achieving this connection.

With warmest Spring regards and sincerely

Peeli Mikelsaar
Head of Department of Information and Lending
The Medical Library of Estonia

Dear Peeli

How nice to hear from someone in Estonia.....First of all I am sorry that You have had so much bother tracing the address of the online version of Harrison's Principles .......Internal medicine. There is a mistake in the address.........I found it after a little detective work....and I apologise for the lack of proofreading in my role as Chief Editor. The address is:- http://www.harrisonsonline.com - we omitted the all important "s" after Harrison.

Though there is a subscription rate for individuals of $89 and very much more for Institutions according to number of users...I also noted that there is a 4 week free trial offer available which I am sure will interest your network of hospitals. Good luck and thank you so much for writing......

Best wishes
Sally Wood-Lamont

Dear Suzanne Bakker,

in my feature article "Why not use Journal Impact Factors_", EAHIL Newsletter No. 47, I erroneously used a wrong journal name in the 10th reference. Instead of the journal "Scientometrics", the right source is "Journal of Documentation". The full reference must be:

Moed HF, Van Leeuwen TN, Reedijk J. A new classification system to describe the ageing of scientific journals and their impact factors. Journal of Documentation 1998;54(4):387-419.

Thank you very much, best regards,
Johannes Stegmann

Thanks to the benefits and dynamics of electronic publishing we will be able to update the web-version (and therefore the electronic archives) for future reference.
