NLM's PREMEDLINE database available

[Margaret Vugrin]

Got this from our Reginal office.
Any more info out there on it, i.e. how does one access it? I was not at
MLA so maybe it had been mentioned there....

>NLM's PREMEDLINE database
>
>In order to speed the flow of pertinent, new information to NLM database
>searchers, NLM announces the addition of a new database, PREMEDLINE. This
>database will provide basic citation information and abstracts before they are
>put into MEDLINE, and will be updated daily. NLM database searchers will have
>the opportunity to view citations that are in the process of being indexed.
>Citations will remain in PREMEDLINE only until they have had MeSH terms,
>Publication Types, GenBank accession numbers, and other indexer-added data
>applied. Once the indexing is finished, the complete records will be added
>weekly to MEDLINE, and the PREMEDLINE record will be deleted from the database.
>
>The citations in PREMEDLINE have not gone through NLM's Quality Control
>process.
>Citations may include extra, erroneous, or missing characters in any
>represented
>field. Errors present in the record will not be corrected until the citation
>is
>added into MEDLINE.
