Development and implementation of a microcomputer-based multi-user MEDLINE system.
The Health Sciences Libraries Consortium, a group of health sciences libraries based in Philadelphia, PA, has implemented a MEDLINE database retrieval system based on the CD Plus PlusNet2 system. The system provides access to the entire MEDLINE database file through three centralized servers and four distributed servers, and is accessible over the HSLC wide-area network linking all of its members. This article describes the implementation process, from selection of the system to future development.
