What is MEDLINE?
- Summary: MEDLINE® and PubMed®: What's the DifferenceBrief PowerPoint summarizing differences in scope and coverage.
MEDLINE is a comprehensive medical and health science literature database from the National Library of Medicine, including access to some references from nursing journals. MEDLINE is accessible from a variety of interfaces, including PubMed, a free public interface from the National Library of Medicine.
Note: Not everything in PubMed meets MEDLINE's indexing criteria or content scope, as indicated in the "How are they different?" link above. If you want to search only the MEDLINE subset of PubMed, combine AND medline[sb] with your other search elements.
