Description of the Medline database.

The free and enhanced PubMed System called Entrez has no AutoAlert option, and no links to the Ovid full-text journals.


The paper equivalent, Index Medicus, has been discontinued in the Kline Science Library as of 1994.

For thesaurus or controlled vocabulary: use the online thesaurus or the paper National Library of Medicine's Medical Subject Headings, located in the Database Help Collection near the entrance to the KSL Reference Room.


Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the MEDLINE database is widely recognized as the premier source for bibliographic and abstract coverage of biomedical literature. MEDLINE encompasses information from Index Medicus, Index to Dental Literature, and International Nursing, as well as other sources of coverage in the areas of allied health, biological and physical sciences, humanities and information science as they relate to medicine and health care, communication disorders, population biology, and reproductive biology. More than 9.5 million records from more than 3,900 journals are indexed, plus selected monographs of congresses and symposia (1976-1981). Abstracts are included for about 67% of the records.
