The guide Locating Health and Medical Information-Science Reference Guide No. 34 compiles a list of sources (print and online) used to answer questions related to health and medicine in the Science Reading Room at the Library of Congress.
For books which are frequently updated, the edition number and year are in parentheses, so you should always check for a later edition.
