Abstract
MEDLARS is an acronym for the name (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System) which the National Library of Medicine has given to the computer-based bibliographic retrieval and publication system now under development. From the bibliographic viewpoint, MEDLARS embraces the following general objectives: Increased coverage of the current substantive medical literature of the world up to totality; deeper subject analysis of, and broader accessibility to, the bibliographic items aided by additional avenues of approach such as language, and geographic origins of the document; more rapid processing to accelerate the availability of the information contained in the system; the capture and delivery of pinpointed and prescribed segments of the total file in a variety of patterns of selection and arrangement. The paper describes the history, aims and products of the new system.
