"Bonnie" asked about access to journal abstracts about PD for her dad who is a patient. She also mentioned that he had been to the U. Georgia (?) Medical Library, which is a good place to start. Bonnie, you need to use something called the World Wide Web, to get access to a national archive containing millions of those abstracts, called Medline. Medline includes a free service called PubMed, with which you can search for any journal, author, subject, title, keyword, etc. PubMed is easy to use, and the instructions you need are there for the asking. The URL (address) for PubMed is http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov Be warned though, the Medline material is for doctors and other professionals, not the general public, so it may not be easy reading.
