ABOUT ANNALS

Annals.org Reader for Palm OS

The Annals.org Reader for the PDA offers:

• Editors' Notes, abstracts, and full texts. Images and references are not available.
• Reminders from PDA to the desktop computer about articles. The reminders include a link to the full text of the article at www.annals.org.
• Storage of multiple issues of Annals. You can control how many issues to store on your PDA, or have the reader automatically delete back issues. Issues may be stored on external memory. Back issues are available starting July 2003.
• Storage of favorite articles (separate from storage of back issues).
• Storage of collections of previously published articles from Annals.

This application is free to subscribers of Annals on a trial basis.

For those who adapt to new media, PDAs offer new possibilities in reading journals...

"I use the PDA Annals version about twice a week during teaching rounds or free time. The format takes some getting used to but I am able to do quick searches on the 3-4 months of Annals I maintain on my expansion card."

"Reading my first issue just fine. I like the portability of the journal now. Will use it in waiting rooms and hopefully not too much in theaters."
