Keep it up! The release free of charge to the general public a couple of years ago, of the huge NIH Medline archive through PubMed, is one of the best things NIH ever did. And don't forget the extremely competent PubMed staffers, who are responsible for the crossindexing phrases and keywords that make searching so effective and easy. When I began my own little routine of weekly visits to the hospital library, that bonanza was not yet available. Now, it's a rare occasion when I discover some interesting item in print before Janet delivers it to you on the PIE. Cheers, Joe -- J. R.
