The CD-ROM is a fully-searchable
reference resource developed to help the user make the most of the
vast amount of information available in Topley & Wilson’s
Microbiology and Microbial Infections, and contains all of
the text, tables, figures, equations and references from the print
edition. The content is divided into the five subject areas covered
by the books (Virology, Bacteriology, Medical Mycology, Parasitology
and Immunology)and can be accessed by browsing through the contents
for each subject or by searching across as much or as little of
the content as desired using the customisable search function.
The CD-ROM has been developed to allow easy and intuitive use: each
chapter is clearly laid out, with hyperlinks
to accompanying figures, tables and references, and useful navigational
tools include easily accessible contents
lists, lists of figures and tables for each chapter, and a list
of abbreviations available from every screen for quick
reference. Further invaluable features include Medline-linked references,
a facility to bookmark sections of interest
and save favourite searches, the facility to print and export elements
of the content for further use, and a comprehensive ‘Help’
section.
