In order to keep up with the ever-increasing volume of biomedical literature that had to be included in the Index Medicus bibliography, the Library turned to computers in the early 1960s. An extensive computerized literature retrieval system, known as MEDLARS, became totally operational in 1964. It performed thousands of searches before on-line searching capabilities and data bases, such as MEDLINE, became available in 1971. Through MEDLINE, health professionals and other interested individuals have immediate access to more than 3 million journal article references accumulated since 1965 and growing at a rate of over 300,000 a year.
