| Answers to clinical questions occurring during healthcare practitioner/patient interaction can be often found in the U.S. National Library of Medicine's (NLM) databases. The recent advances in wireless handheld computers promise to make them a widely used tool to deliver needed information to the practitioner at the point of service.

We study two clustering algorithms and two methods of labeling document clusters. |
