Timelit (Dec 07 2001 17:06 GMT) - "TIMELIT covers the subject of medical education. At present the database contains almost 50,000 items collected over the past two decades by the Director of the Centre for Medical Education at Dundee, RM Harden. The personal nature of this collection brings the benefit of relevance, but means the collection cannot be a complete reflection of all the work in any field.
