PUBMED
PubMed is an experimental program created by the National Center for
Biotechnology Information (a part of NLM) which originally accessed only
certain subject areas in MEDLINE. It now covers MEDLINE back to 1966 and
PREMEDLINE (covering newly released articles which have yet to be fully
indexed and checked for accuracy and included in MEDLINE). PubMed was developed
so that once the search was done, and the citations and abstracts listed,
the user could just click on the citation and be connected to the full
text of the article at the appropriate publisher's web site. Access to
the full text of these articles is based on agreements between publishers
and NLM. Currently, there are only 24 journal titles with links to full
text. This access to full text will usually require a fee or subscription.
WWW.HEALTH.GOV
