- Dear Friends:
-
- I have been following this subject throughout the month, but
- not with 100% accuracy. My comments are offered regarding
- the recent comment on MeSH scopenotes and authorative/reputable
- sources. If this information has already been provided by a
- list member please ignore my comments.
-
- According to the Medical Subject Headings-Annotated Alphabetic
- List 1993 the staff of the Medical Subject Headings Section uses
- a list of sources for "creation and maintenance of MeSH." This
- Bibliography may be found on pp. I-177-182 of the 1993 edition.
- Texts are divided by Tree category. Incidentally Dorlands and
- Stedmans are listed in the General section. The Bibliography
- "does not represent the entire breadth of texts that are used
- in the production of MeSH."
-
- I've often found this bibliography most useful.
- If my comment is not wholly within the scope of Medical Spell-
- checker, then my apologies. Best wishes for 1993.
