| Abstract: | Minutes from a presentation by Eve Marie Lacroix, Chief, Public Services Division, National Library of Medicine at the CENDI meeting April 21, 2000. Ms. Lacroix summarized the development of MEDLINEplus, a consumer health web site. The service initially had 22 health topics and now has over 365. Pilot studies were conducted in public libraries to determine user needs. All sites are reviewed in this database. Acquisitions and cataloging are database-driven and performed remotely by using Cold Fusion and the Oracle database. Although contractors perform the initial selection and cataloging, a second level review is always performed by NLM staff. Other developments under consideration are pre-formulated searches of MEDLINE, a terminology server, the inclusion of newsfeeds and a medical dictionary. |
