title: Medical information for Alabama rural physicians.
abstract: Physicians practicing outside of Alabama's urban medical centers often have difficulty obtaining medical information for patient care. This article describes how Alabama's rural physicians may gain access to the biomedical literature needed for patient care using personal collections, communications technology, and libraries. A table in the paper lists health sciences libraries in the state which may provide consultative and information services.
