Radiology Legacy Collection Offers Invaluable Historical Resource for Every Library
Scheduled to appear online in spring
2010, the Radiology Legacy Collection
is a searchable archive of Radiology
issues spanning 1923 to 1998. Available
for the first time online, the Collection
will be accessible exclusively to
subscribers.
“The Legacy Collection will provide
enhanced access for readers and
researchers to the literature that has
appeared in Radiology over the years
and shaped the field as we know it,”
said Herbert Y., Kressel, M.D., Radiology
editor.
The Collection will be accessible
free of charge to RSNA members.
For institutional subscribers, RSNA
is offering limited-time discounts.
Members can help spread the word and
ensure future researchers have access
to the Collection by encouraging their
librarians to purchase it. To make it
easier for members to contact their
librarians, RSNA provides a recommendation
form, downloadable directly
at www.RSNA.org/Publications/upload/
LegacyLibraryRecForm.pdf.
“It has been difficult to access
many of the seminal papers on newer
technologies including CT, ultrasound
and PET, which were published prior
to 1998, as well as original descriptive
research that formed the basis of
radiologic interpretation,” said Dr.
Kressel. “Some of these were critical
to the development of the field and
anticipated the development of these
technologies and their applications.”
RSNA is converting the Legacy
Collection to a digital format, taking
care to preserve quality by scanning
each image individually. The Collection
includes approximately 103,260 pages
containing 73,331 articles and abstracts
