National Library of Medicine
(NLM) Gateway
The National
Library of Medicine in Bethesda, USA, has numerous online
resources some of which are not known to library clients.
The NLM Gateway provides a user-friendly way to
search Medline and NLM Databases. "It's broader in scope
than PubMed as it goes beyond journal citations to include monographs,
serials, AV materials of the NLM collection as well as contents
of several other databases in a one-stop shopping search and
retrieval".
(Miccioli, Gloria, 2005).
It searches its network of databases simultaneously.
To search across the collection of databases,
enter a search in the search box.
