Launch of RECAL Legacy

The National Centre for Prosthetics and Orthotics at the University of Strathclyde has announced the launch of The RECAL Legacy, which provides comprehensive bibliographic information about the published literature in the fields of prosthetics, orthotics, related physical medicine and rehabilitation engineering.  It offers free access to over 83000 records with articles sourced from over 1500 journals spanning the early 1900’s to 2007. 

The RECAL Information Service, which previously maintained this database, is now closed and the other services that were provided – such as Current Awareness – are no longer available.  RECAL Information Services, which was launched in 1986, gained world recognition as the leading information provider in the subject and an unrivalled reputation for service provision.  The RECAL Legacy is intended to preserve this unique resource, to offer free access to the database and to support the bibliographic information needs of education, research and clinical practice.

 More information about The RECAL Legacy can be found at: www.strath.ac.uk/prosthetics
