Rather than a derivative of online searching for trained librarians, BiblioMed uses an intuitive system of pull-down menus and point-and-shoot selection. The program flow leads the user to the use of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH), subheadings, and main point selection. The tagging system allows intuitive and powerful Boolean selection without actually having to input ORs or ANDs. For users in the US, BiblioMed provides Gateway, an integrated modem system that automatically dials up MEDLINE and uploads a search strategy previously run on the CD-ROM. All communications with online MEDLINE are provided through the same intuitive menu system described above, and no knowledge of online searching is necessary.Richard K Wertz[phone]107Mentor Graphics CorporationThis is a set of products designed to provide users with the ability to create and maintain an on-line library of information which can be quickly and easily searched, viewed, printed, distributed, and updated.
