The National Library of Medicine introduced the Grateful Med software package for accessing its databases over six years ago. Many new features have been added to the program since its inception in 1986. These major improvements enable health professionals to gain a more user friendly access to the biomedical literature of the National Library of Medicine than ever before. The software enhancements aid the end-user in performing searches that will retrieve material with greater specificity and accuracy. Grateful Med provides a time-saving, cost-effective means of equal access to the medical literature regardless of the user's physical location or lack of access to other resources.
