The purpose of the Hot Topics section of the Ehrman Medical Library Homepage is to provide quick access to highly relevant web links. The Web Team often chooses to feature breaking stories in the field of medicine and the biological sciences; new developments with our library's homepage as well as direct access to the library's latest electronic products. Hot Topics will also feature important library announcements such as library holiday hours and closings and interruption of network services.
The Hot Topics Archive contains links to previously featured items so that users of the library's homepage will have a point of reference from when certain categories first appeared on this site. Hot Topics features will be maintained for a period of three years.
