Health Reference Series

Comprehensive and Reliable Consumer Health Information

For over 25 years, librarians have trusted the Health Reference Series to answer their patrons’ health questions as they navigate the increasingly noisy, and often unreliable, landscape of medical information.

The Health Reference Series provides basic medical information for patients, families, caregivers, and the general public. Each volume takes a particular topic and provides comprehensive coverage. This is especially important for people who may be dealing with a newly diagnosed disease or a chronic disorder in themselves or in a family member. People looking for preventive guidance, information about disease warning signs, medical statistics, and risk factors for health problems will also find answers to their questions in this series.

Sourcebook Scope and Coverage

Each volume in the Health Reference Series is an easy-to-use and authoritative source designed for lay readers—consumers with no specific medical knowledge. The sourcebooks are organized in a logical and thoughtful way, with a detailed table of contents that shows exactly where to find the information readers need. Each chapter is written in a straightforward, easy-to-understand writing style. Headings within the chapters help readers understand the material and find the facts they need, while illustrations, charts, graphs, and other features break up the text and convey facts in different ways.

One of the key features of the Health Reference Series is the broad scope of information offered in each volume. Each volume pulls together a wide variety of articles from authoritative sources to inform and educate readers about the disease or disorder, giving comprehensive information needed to understand and cope with the medical condition. Omnigraphics’ Health Reference Series is an invaluable medical resource for patrons ready to untangle complicated health advice.
