MEDLINE® Reload on Dialog Completed

The reload of MEDLINE on Dialog (Files 154/155) was completed in March 2003. For information about the changes introduced by the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to the 2003 Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) refer to the March/April 2003 Chronolog (support.dialog.com/publications/chronolog/200303/1030311.shtml) announcing the reload of MEDLINE on Dialog DataStar.

In addition to the thesaurus changes, the following enhancements apply to the 2003 version of MEDLINE on Dialog:

• Addition of Popline records: over 100,000 records from Popline, formerly a stand-alone database available through the National Library of Medicine (NLM), have been added to Files 154/155. This material covers the areas of family planning, contraception, fertility and population issues with data from 1980 to 2000.
  
  
• RC= field: this field refers to the Date Completed (of the record). The RC= field can be searched and displayed.
