Abstract

GONZALEZ RIVERO, María del Carmen  and  SANTANA ARROYO, Sonia. MaFiMed database related to the thought of José Martí and Fidel Castro about medicine and health topics. Rev. cuba. inf. cienc. salud [online]. 2018, vol.29, n.4, pp. 1-12. ISSN 2307-2113.

Databases have derived from the need for available synthesized information, thus minimizing the time spent accessing theme data of interest. In the framework of medicine, the search and retrieval of document material from medical information databases is both complex and time-consuming, due to the saturation in the dissemination of scientific production. Few initiatives have been put forth in Cuba concerning resource types enabling health professionals to obtain information about intellectually outstanding historical figures who have stated criteria and reflections about medicine and health, as is the case with José Martí Pérez and Fidel Castro Ruz. The purpose of the present paper is to describe the stages in the development of the MaFiMed database at the National Medical Library. This database is a collection of thoughts by Martí and Fidel about medical and health topics.

Keywords : public health mindset; bibliographic databases; medical libraries; information sciences.
