Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Library Science
  • Health Sciences Information Management

Background:

  • The Health Sciences Libraries Consortium (HSLC) in Philadelphia, PA, sought to enhance access to biomedical literature.
  • Existing information retrieval systems required an upgrade to meet the growing demands of health sciences professionals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe the implementation of a new MEDLINE database retrieval system.
  • To detail the selection process and future development plans for the system.

Main Methods:

  • Selection and implementation of the CD Plus PlusNet2 system.
  • Centralized and distributed server architecture for MEDLINE access.
  • Utilizing the HSLC wide-area network for member connectivity.
