Medline® Information

What is Medline®?

Medline® is a database of the US National Library of Medicine. It indexes more than 4000 medical journals published from many countries from 1966 onwards. By using a powerful searching tool it finds references (many with abstracts) to published research and articles written about a disease, condition, treatment, etc.

Medline® is used extensively by health professionals who do literature searches for research, etc. Medline® may be helpful for a patient looking up a condition or treatment, but the language used may be rather technical for non-medical people.
