A filing system for medical literature
Abstract
The author reviews the types of systems available for personal literature files and makes specific recommendations for filing systems for family physicians. A personal filing system can be an integral part of family practice, and need not require time out of proportion to the worth of the system. Because it is a personal system, different types will suit different users; some systems, however, are more reliable than others for use in family practice. (Can Fam Physician 1988; 34:425-433.).
