great dictionary/HORRIBLE web site
| Customer Rating:  | | great dictionary. web site basically does not work - unless you want to stay up and wait - sometimes literally for 2-3 minutes for each page to download. (i have university/hospital network). |
dictionary fine, website and cd not
| Customer Rating: | I'm pleased with the dictionary, but I can use the dictionary in the library where I study. I purchased the dictionary so I could reference it while at home, etc. But I was motivated to buy it based on the included CD and the internet access. Both very disappointing. As a student I cannot carry the dictionary with me wherever I go, even if I would like to do so. The online access is dreadfully slow. When you type in a word (most of the time the website won't load within 60seconds and I give up) even if there is an exact match it doesn't take you to that screen, just to a screen with the word--which you then have to click to get to the final destination--what's the point in that?
As for the CD, it's not working right now, but that's a problem with my computer. I had hoped that either the CD or the website would be easy to use. I just noticed that it says on the label "single user version." That means that every single time you want to use the dictionary on your computer the CD has to be in the drive. I ask again, what's the point in that? Some lightweight laptops don't even have CD drives currently. Why should I need to carry the CD everywhere as well---I wanted a program I could install--that's what I was lead to believe I was purchasing. Not too mention the program is load and slow when it must be run from a CD drive--that's why people install programs.
I have a Merriam Webster Dictionary--which after about 6 years I discovered the CD in the back cover. It works like a dream. I installed the program once, and whenver I want to look up a work, I click an icon, and a simple and efficient program (what else do you want in a dictionary) opens and I can look up words rapidly.
Don't let this mislead you---I enjoy the print version. That is what is advertised. But there are copies of those all over the library where I spend my time, and I was hoping that access to the extras would be worth me buying my own copy. Just wish they lived up to the standards. |
Excellent Medical Reference
| Customer Rating: | | My wife and I purchased this book as a graduation present for our daughter who recently graduated from the University of Hawaii School of Medicine, Masters in Speech Pathology program. She loved the book and keeps it in her office for quick reference. She found it immensely helpful and easier to access than the internet. lol |
Dorlands Illustrated Medical Dictionary 31st ed.
| Customer Rating: | | From the standpoint of a pre med student, this is a fantastic medical resource! I have really appreciated having it- I can very quickly and easily look up any terms, conditions, etc., of which I am unaware and feel I need to know. Beautiful illustrations, easy to assimilate, and, so far, it's had a definition for everything I've queried. |
Dorland's Medical Dictionary 31st Edition
| Customer Rating: | | Great dictionary! The pictures are clear and detailed. It came with a CD that was broken so I called the 800 number listed in the book...they were very nice and mailed a new one to me asap (at no cost to me). The book is very large and heavy so you need to be at a desk or table when using it. I am very satisfied. |
