> I have come across people talking about "medline research". Is there a site where this is?

Bee--

Medline is a database compiled by the National Library of Medicine which indexes articles from medical journals. Since these journals are written for M.D.s, language is often quite technical. There are many ways to search Medline-- software firms have written various user interfaces (ex--SilverPlatter, Ovid), but most who search it via the Internet use 1 of the 2 interfaces provided by NLM--igm (Internet Grateful Med) or PubMed. They use the same search protocol but offer different options. Igm is easier for the new searcher and there are links from its homepage to PubMed, six other databases, and MedlinePlus for consumers. You can find it at:

http://www.igm.nlm.nih.gov

You can find a good dictionary of medical terms at:

http://www.medterms.com

Hope this helps.

Well wishes--medlib
