Dallas store helps consumers with medical research

Dallas store helps consumers with medical research : "With information on the Internet as confusing as it is, some savvy consumers still turn to medical textbooks to find answers to their questions. 'A lot of people use Google to try to find information because they think they can find everything on the Internet,' says Sean Faulkner, director at Majors Scientific Books in Dallas.

'We call it the Amazon effect. But, frequently, all they can find is a little description of a book which they bring with them when they visit us trying to find more information,' Mr. Faulkner says. Recently, consumers have visited the store seeking information on topics ranging from autism to fibromyalgia, irritable bowel syndrome, premature babies and yoga.

'Consumers may find things on the Internet that are not from a reputable source and valid publisher,' Mr. Faulkner says."
