Linda J. VanHorn · Medical Reference Services Quarterly · 1984
Written for online searchers familiar with MEDLINE, this article defines the scope of nutrition as it relates to disease, suggests background literature to familiarize the searcher with nutrition, and presents a hedge for searching nutritional aspects of disease on MEDLINE. Vocabulary decisions, methods for limiting retrieval, and other applications of the nutrition hedge also are discussed.
