Excellent for MCQs and guidelines on pediatric infectious diseases - measles, pertussis, meningitis, sepsis, HIV in children, immunization schedules, etc.

What the library does NOT have (for pediatrics):

Nelson Textbook of Pediatrics (the standard theory/MCQ textbook)

How I can help you using these resources:

Theory questions - explain any pediatric topic using Harriet Lane + Red Book
MCQs - answer and explain pediatric MCQs with textbook backing
Guidelines - AAP Red Book guidelines for infectious diseases, immunization, and infection control
Drug dosing - pediatric drug doses from Harriet Lane formulary

Just ask any specific topic (e.g., neonatal jaundice, febrile seizures, vaccination schedule, meningitis management) and I'll pull the relevant content directly from these textbooks for you.
