PlusDelta Technologies is an interesting little company that I discovered at the […]

Lexicomp offering deal on new subscriptions until the end of July
In my opinion Lexicomp is still the gold standard for pharmacist drug references. I don’t use any of the Lexicomp references these days as I no longer have a need, but I used to use them all the time. I remember using Lexi-drugs on my Palm Pilot (actually a TRGPro) back in the day. The […]

Looks like the little elves over at AJHP have been busy making their journal easier to access from mobile devices. That’s pretty cool.
