Accessing MEDLINE from the dental office.
Electronic access to on-line information is now available for dentists. One such resource is MEDLINE, a database of more than 7,500,000 biomedical references indexed by the National Library of Medicine. MEDLINE searching can be performed on-line or locally using a CD-ROM drive. Dentists should evaluate equipment requirements, availability of training, extent of the bibliographic database, ease of using the searching software and adequacy of documentation before selecting a mode of MEDLINE access.
