NLM Gateway
Released in October 2000, the NLM Gateway
provides simultaneous searches of 15 NLM document collections using five retrieval methods on different systems.
The NLM Gateway allows users to initiate searches in multiple retrieval
systems from a single interface. Users enter a query,
the query is reformulated and automatically sent to multiple
retrieval systems, and results are presented in categories
(e.g., journal article citations, books, serials and audiovisuals,
consumer health information; meeting abstracts; other collections).
In most categories, multiple document collections are searched.
Direct links to other major NLM resources are also provided.
The combination of a single point of access, coupled with
focused searches, improves user access to information offered at
NLM's expanding series of Web sites.
The current version of the NLM
Gateway offers access to the following online resources:
- PubMed: MEDLINE journal citations, 1966 - present, and
OLDMEDLINE journal citations, 1958 - 65
