title: Downloading from MEDLINE: a comparison of personal database software.
abstract: The compatibility of downloaded MEDLINE references with software packages designed for maintenance of personal bibliographic databases is considered. The nine packages reviewed enable one to import batches of records downloaded from one or more presentations of the MEDLINE database, online or CD-ROM; and enable the user to re-format records into the various styles required by journal editors. Some basic features of the packages are tabulated, and details of record-importing facilities are described. Details of suppliers and prices are given.
