 IACLE Information Interface
July 2006
Information Interface is an IACLE provided resource that includes useful information and/or the location of information that can be accessed readily.
Information is gleaned monthly from newsletters, journals, abstracts, magazines, relevant websites, and professional associates, as well as manufacturers of contact lenses, lens care products, and clinical and/or research instrumentation.
For some websites, registration (at no charge) may be required for initial access. Some websites offer free electronic newsletters (e-zines).
A prize to those who read last month's newsletter and deduced that where it said June instead of may in the paragraph above was the result of a 'loose' search and replace operation in which I failed to tick the 'Match Case' option. Ah the vagaries of word processors when one's vigilance is down.
Most journals offer abstracts at no charge but usually, full texts are not available free-of-charge unless your institution has an arrangement with the publishers, you are a member of an affiliated organisation, you have a personal subscription, or you agree to pay for individual articles.
