MEDLINE® (Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online) is a database of predominantly biomedical bibliographic citations maintained by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM).[1] Each citation includes bibliographic data, abstract if available, links to full text of the article and keywords. The keywords are indexed with the NLM's Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®).[2]

There are many third party interfaces to search MEDLINE such as OVID[3]. The National Library of Medicine's own search interface, PubMed (http://pubmed.gov) is freely available since its first search was performed by Vice President Al Gore from a press conference at the US Capitol on June 26, 1997.[4]
