We are pleased to announce that as a MHIKNET Library card holder you now have electronic access to STAT!Ref.

STAT!Ref includes medical textbooks and resources, such as ACP Medicine, The Merck Manual of Diagnosis and Therapy, Family Medicine: Principles and Practice, DSM-IV 2000, Stedman's Medical Dictionary, Oxford Textbook of Psychotherapy, Goldfrank's Toxicologic Emergencies, and Therapeutic Modalities in Rehabilitation. In the coming months we will be working to increase the number of resources within this collection.

To access STAT!Ref you will need your 14 digit library ID (which is on your library card) and PIN (which is usually 6 digits and is probably the date that your library card was processed, unless you changed it). If you don't know your ID and PIN, please contact Elizabeth Stregger at (1-877-)789-3804 or mhiknet@umanitoba.ca and she can help you.
