The U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) now allows users to search
simultaneously multiple resources through the new NLM Gateway.
The Gateway is an excellent starting point for new users or for experienced
users who need a quick scan of available resources.
Current Resources: A single Web-based search retrieves results from:
MEDLINE/PubMed & OLDMEDLINE (journals, 1966-present, 1958-65)
LOCATORplus (books, serials, AV's)
MEDLINEplus (consumer and drug information)
DIRLINE (directory of information resources)
AIDS Meetings
HSR Meetings and HSR Proj (health services research)
UMLS Metathesaurus
LOANSOME Doc (document delivery)
Examples of Future Additions:
Toxnet on the Web
Clinical Trials
Images from the History of Medicine
