FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Unbound Medicine and F.A. Davis Expand Partnership
Taber's Online Relaunched on the
Unbound™ Platform
Charlottesville, VA, February 5, 2008—Today,
Unbound Medicine, a leader in knowledge management solutions
and mobile information resources for healthcare, and F.A.
Davis Company, a leading publisher of texts and references
for nurses and other healthcare professions, announced the
expansion of their partnership with the relaunch of Taber's
Online. Now the website for Taber's Cyclopedic
Medical Dictionary is powered by the award-winning Unbound™ Platform.
The new site, www.tabers.com, gives users a clean, modern,
dynamic, and powerful interface for searching or browsing
the extensive content that has made Taber's one of
the most popular healthcare dictionaries for more than 65
years. The utility and educational value of its 56,000 terms,
700 illustrations, 60 appendices, and 2,500 audio pronunciations
are enhanced by “sounds-like” searching, cross-linking,
and customizable bookmarks. Access to Taber's Online
is included with purchase of the print dictionary and is
available separately.
“We have worked with Unbound Medicine on a broad range
of products since 2003. When our customers responded enthusiastically
to products such as Taber's and Davis's
Drug Guide on Unbound's PDA/Web/Wireless platform, we
realized the value of using the same platform to power our
most important website,” said Robert H. Craven Jr.,
President of F.A. Davis. “In our collaborative ventures,
Unbound brings expertise in medical software, information
architecture, and e-marketing to our own team's deep experience
in publishing for nursing and other healthcare disciplines.”
Additional features of the new Taber's Online include
a “Word of the Day” RSS feed, a site preview
capability that allows visitors to experience the full functionality
of Taber's Online prior to subscribing, and one-click
searching of dictionary terms in Unbound MEDLINE, the powerful
yet intuitive gateway to 17 million medical journal articles.
“Students, educators, and practitioners have relied
for years on publications bearing the F.A. Davis brand,” commented
Bill Detmer, MD, President and CEO of Unbound Medicine. “It
is our pleasure to team with Davis in the delivery of Taber's and other time-honored references at the point of need, and
to help build the base of individuals and institutions accessing
healthcare content digitally.”
