By you will be able to…
• Describe the history of end-user access to MEDLINE
• Name and develop search strategies for at least three* third-party PubMed tools
• Identify situations in which searching with a third-party tool would be beneficial
• Stay current with new developments related to third-party PubMed tools
HOW WE GOT HEREA brief history of end-user access to MEDLINE
1897:First volume of Index Medicus published.
1964:MEDLARS became operational
Computer room at the National Library of Medicine, 1960s
1971:MEDLINE (“MEDLARS online”) provides online access to a subset of references
Texas Instruments Silent 700 with Acoustic Coupler
1986:Health professionals started running their own searches with PC-based Grateful Med
1997:PubMed is born!
Free Web-based access to MEDLINE
1997:PubMed is born!
Free Web-based access to MEDLINE
Today
• 20 million article citations and counting
• More than 5,000journals indexed
• Goes back in time to the 1940’s
• Searched 1.6 billiontimes in 2010
2002:NLM says “take our data, too!”
Entrez Programming Utilities (Eutils) introduced

In groups of 2 or 3, explore a third-party PubMed tool and prepare to report:
• Developer(s)
• Key features
• When you’d use it
• Negative aspects
DISCUSSION QUESTIONS
What ideas from third-party developers should NCBI adopt for PubMed?
Which third-party tool(s) are you likely to use again? In what circumstances?
Thank you!
