o Women’s Health Newsbrief monitors health news of special interest to women, providing a summary of each document and a link to the original source.

All four newsletters are edited by Bruce Maxwell, an award-winning investigative journalist, author, and president of Silver Hammer Publishing. They’re designed to complement Maxwell’s book, “How to Find Health Information on the Internet,” which is published by Congressional Quarterly in Washington, D.C.

The book has received outstanding reviews from publications such as The Lancet, Choice, Issues in Science and Technology Librarianship, USA TODAY.com, Online, Family Practice, the Internet Resources Newsletter, International Health News, and Medical Reference Services Quarterly, among others.

In a recent review, the journal Health Care on the Internet said: “This title will undoubtedly be a stand-by on the ready reference shelves of public, academic, larger school and consumer health libraries, simply because it is the best of the lot that have appeared in the past year or soโ€ฆOne can only hope for frequent revisions.”

Maxwell also has written several other books about finding information online, including the just-published “How to Track Politics on the Internet” and “How to Access the Federal Government on the Internet.” Both are published by Congressional Quarterly.
