DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PUBMED AND MEDLINE
As early as 1879, US National Library of Medicine started
maintaining a bibliography of all the articles in various journals, the name of
the compilation was Index
Medicus MEDLINE is the electronic
version of original raw data that is
Index Medicus with the US National Library of Medicine. The database is updated
very frequently by them and is robust. The electronic version was initially
only with the librarians and the computers used by the librarians was known as MEDLARS.
The MEDLINE was open
for public in 1996 through which the public can search it from different location
around the world. This is essential as the super computer database is in USA. The public
interface for MEDLINE is known as PUBMED.
You should also know that there are other interfaces by which you can operate the raw data of
National Library of Medicine , they are EBSCO
and ISI
That is the same source of
information “MEDLINE” can be read via Pubmed , EBCSO and ISI
