Providing wider access to MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) through improved technology, policy, and funding significantly increased its use. This expansion had manageable effects on other library services at Yale.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Informatics
  • Library Science
  • Health Sciences Information Management

Background:

  • The Cushing/Whitney Medical Library introduced end-user access to MEDLINE in 1986.
  • Transitioned to the OVID system in 1993, impacting the Yale-New Haven Medical Center.
  • MEDLINE is identified as a core library service with significant implications for information access.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To describe user response to MEDLINE access.
  • To discuss the impact of MEDLINE on other library services.
  • To explore the influence of technology, policy, and funding on MEDLINE utilization.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of user response patterns to MEDLINE.
  • Evaluation of the effects of MEDLINE on the utilization of other library services.
