    Area of Science:

    • Biomedical Informatics
    • Medical Librarianship
    • Information Retrieval

    Background:

    • MEDLINE (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) is an interactive, online bibliographic searching system developed by the National Library of Medicine.
    • It provides access to a three-year file of citations from over 1,250 biomedical journals.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To assess user reactions and satisfaction with the MEDLINE system.
    • To evaluate the perceived impact of MEDLINE on clinical and research work.
    • To gauge user willingness to continue using MEDLINE after the introduction of user charges.

    Main Methods:

    • A survey was conducted at the University of Virginia Medical Library.
    • Data was collected from 246 users who utilized MEDLINE searches between September 1972 and March 1973.

    Main Results:

    • Over 93% of users considered MEDLINE a substantial improvement compared to traditional printed index searches.
    • Respondents reported that MEDLINE searches aided their clinical or research activities.
    • Approximately 75% of users indicated they would continue using MEDLINE after user charges were implemented on July 1, 1973, while 25% expressed reservations.

    Conclusions:

    • MEDLINE represents a significant advancement in biomedical literature searching.
    • User satisfaction is high, with demonstrated utility in professional work.
    • The imposition of user charges may lead to a decline in MEDLINE usage, despite initial positive reception.
