Introduction to the U.S. National Library of Medicine
The United States National Library of Medicine (NLM), part of the National
Institutes of Health (NIH), is the world's largest medical library. The
collections of the National Library of Medicine include more than seven
million books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms,
photographs, and images on medicine and related sciences, including some
of the world's oldest and rarest works.
The National Network of Libraries of Medicine
Medical libraries throughout the United States are joined together in a
network. The purpose of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine
(NN/LM) is to provide health science practitioners, investigators,
educators, and administrators in the United States with timely, convenient
access to biomedical and health care information resources. The network is
administered by the National Library of Medicine. It consists of eight
Regional Medical Libraries (major institutions under contract to NLM),
more than 159 Resource Libraries (primarily at medical schools), and some
4,762 Primary Access Libraries (primarily at hospitals). The Regional
Medical Libraries administer and coordinate services in the network's
eight geographical regions.

Introduction to PubMed (pubmed.gov)
NLM has been indexing the biomedical literature since 1879, to help
provide health professionals access to information necessary for research,
health care, and education. What was once a printed index to articles, the
Index Medicus, became a database now known as MEDLINE. MEDLINE contains
journal citations and abstracts for biomedical literature from around the
world. Since 1996, free access to MEDLINE has been available to the public
online via PubMed
NLM Home Page
<http://www.nlm.nih.gov>
PubMed is a database developed by the National Center for Biotechnology
Information (NCBI) at the National Library of Medicine (NLM) available on
the Web. PubMed is one of several databases under NCBIs Entrez retrieval
system. PubMed currently includes over 19 million bibliographic citations.
PubMed also has links to the full-text of articles at participating
publishers Web sites, as well as biological data, sequence data, and more
from other Entrez Databases and from third parties.

Whats in PubMed
Most PubMed records are MEDLINE citations. Other records include those in
different stages of processing (including records provided directly from
the journal publisher) but destined to be MEDLINE citations. A relatively
small number of records that are included in PubMed but not selected for
MEDLINE.
MEDLINE Citations
PubMed provides access to MEDLINE, the National Library of Medicines
premier bibliographic database containing citations and author abstracts
from approximately 5,400 biomedical journals published in the United
States and in other countries.
The scope of MEDLINE includes such diverse topics as microbiology,
delivery of health care, nutrition, pharmacology and environmental health.
The categories covered in MEDLINE include everything from anatomy,
organisms, diseases, psychiatry, and psychology to the physical sciences.
MEDLINE currently contains over 17 million references dating back to 1948.
New material is added Tuesday through Saturday. Coverage is worldwide, but
most records (about 90%) are from English-language sources or have English
abstracts. Approximately 79% of the citations are included with the
published abstract.
MEDLINE Journal Selection
The Literature Selection Technical Review Committee (LSTRC) meets three
times a year and considers approximately 140 titles for MEDLINE at each
meeting. Final approval is made by the Director of the National Library of
Medicine. Titles are considered for scope and coverage, quality of
content, quality of editorial work, production quality, audience, and type
of content. For more details, see the NLM Fact Sheet, MEDLINE Journal
Selection, at
<http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/factsheets/jsel.html>
MEDLINE Basic Bibliographic Citation
One MEDLINE citation represents one journal article and is composed of
fields that provide specific information (Title, Author, Language, etc.)
about the journal article. The following information is generally
provided:
Title of the journal article
Names of the Authors
Abstract published with the article
Controlled Vocabulary search terms (Medical Subject Headings)
Journal Source Information
First Author Affiliation
Language in which the article was published
Publication Type (description of the type of article, e.g., Review,
Letter, etc.)

Medical Subject Headings (MeSH Vocabulary)
For a video introduction to MeSH, see Branching Out: The MeSH Vocabulary
at
<http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/disted/video/>
What is MeSH?
Acronym for Medical Subject Headings Similar to key words on other systems
Used for indexing journal articles for MEDLINE and also used for
cataloging books and audiovisuals Used by searchers Revised annually Gives
uniformity and consistency to the indexing of the biomedical literature
and is a distinctive feature of MEDLINE
MeSH Vocabulary includes four types of terms:
Headings Publication Types Subheadings Supplementary Concept Records
MeSH Headings
MeSH headings represent concepts found in the biomedical literature MeSH
headings and Publication Types are arranged in a hierarchical manner
called the MeSH Tree Structure
Examples of MeSH Headings:
Body Weight
Kidney
Dental Cavity
Preparation
Self Medication
Radioactive Waste
Brain Edema
