Ordering Articles via PubMed

Produced by the U.S. National Library of Medicine, the MEDLINE database of indexed journal citations and abstracts now covers nearly 4,800 journals published in the United States and more than 70 other countries. The file contains over 12 million citations dating back to1966. Coverage is worldwide, but most records are from English-language sources or have English abstracts.
