DCConsult Overview
Privacy Policy- When performing an author search you may add multiple authors by separating each name with a semi-colon ";".
- [MANTIS ONLY] Use wildcards (an asterisk) to search within a specific publication if you are not certain of the journal's full title (e.g. "*spine*"). If a wildcard is not used, the engine will search for a journal with the exact title as entered.
- Use wildcards (an asterisk) to search for multiple terms with the same spelling (e.g. "manip*" will include any Medical Subject Heading or text word that begins with the letters "manip"; so the search will include "manipulation, chiropractic" and "manipulation, orthopedic" among others).

Customers registering for services on our Web site are asked to provide us with identifying information, such as name, gender, contact information, and other identifying information. We have provided our users with a simplified registration screen where all information is required. DCConsult allows for the user to optionally provide additional personally identifiable information under the Your Settings page; any other collection of personally identifiable information will require the consent of the user.
DCConsult also collects information about which pages our members visit within DCConsult. This site visitation data is identified only by a unique ID number, and it is never linked with personal information.
Information supplied to DCConsult by students, faculty, health professionals and doctors will not be released, distributed or sold to any organization or vendor.

Your Web browser can be set to allow you to control whether you will accept cookies, reject cookies, or to notify you each time a cookie is sent to you. If your browser is set to reject cookies, Web sites that are cookie enabled will not recognize you when you return to the Web site, and some Web site functionality may be lost. The Help section of your browser will tell you how to prevent your browser from accepting cookies.
Although cookies do not normally contain personally identifiable information, if you are a registered user we may associate your registration information with cookies our Web site places on your computer's hard drive. Associating a cookie with your registration data allows us to offer increased personalization and functionality. For example, you can elect to have our Web sites "remember" your user name and password and bypass the sign-in process on each visit to the site. Without cookies, this functionality would not be possible.
DCConsult will not use cookies or any other technology to track the activity of our members outside of our online community.
