Wer kostenlos in MEDLINE recherchieren moechte kann sich
die 98.- DM Anmeldegebuehr bei HOL sparen:
Gary Malet hat kuerzlich in MEDICAL-MATRIX eine Uebersicht von
MEDLINE-Sites veroeffentlicht (siehe Anhang).
Kostenlos sind z.B.:
http://www.kfinder.com/rus/
http://php2.silverplatter.com/physicians/php/answer.htm
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/
Im Hinblick auf eine Medienkonzentration sollte man das Angebot
des Burda Verlages ("Die ganze Welt der Medizin in Ihrer Hand")
durchaus auch kritisch betrachten. Jedenfalls entspricht das Prinzip
einer geschlossenen Benutzergruppe nicht der Idee, die viele
mit dem Internet verbinden: Naemlich freier Zugang zur Information
fuer alle. Ich halte mehr davon wenn Fachleute das Internet
nach Relevanz vorsortieren und das Ergebnis oeffentlich zur
Verfuegung stellen:
z.B. in der Projektgruppe Internet der GMDS

Freundliche Gruesse

MMATRIX-L subscribers,
I am very curious why there has been a proliferation of free
Medline sites on Internet. I have followed the pricing of
Medline to the public over the years. I was aware of the
enormous effort on the part of the NLM indexing team to maintain
the resource. I assumed that private and library users helped
sustain the effort with license fees. There were also
substantial fees charged to foreign institutions and users.
A Medline search at Stanford three years ago would come to
over $100.
Can anyone advise how the economics of all this has changed in
an era of government downsizing.
For your reference the following is a current list of Medline
sites on Internet. Any feedback regarding the accuracy of the
listings would also be appreciated....regards, Gary
