## Indexing

- FY2005
- 606,596 indexed citations added to MEDLINE
- Highest ever indexing rate
- 45,312 gene indexing links created (compared to 33,444 in previous year)
- FY2006
- 301,396 citations indexed in first 6 months, greater than last year at this time
- More than 80% of MEDLINE citations now supplied electronically by publishers

**Notes:**
Fy2004: 567,000 indexed citations

## Indexing

- ClinicalTrials.gov numbers and Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) numbers added to MEDLINE
- New Web-based training program for MEDLINE indexing was introduced for the first time in the fall of 2005

**Notes:**
A web-based indexing training program has been used for the last two indexing classes held in 2005.  We hope to eventually make it publically-available, as well as the MEDLINE Indexing Manual.

## Indexing

- Electronic Journal Indexing
- 107 online-only journals indexed for MEDLINE, an increase from 90 a year ago
- 140 additional journals, the online version is indexed instead of the print version, an increase from 95 a year ago
- Dual monitors, and revised workflow/journal distribution methods allowing for this change in journal format

**Notes:**
As of April 1, 107 online-only journals were being indexed for MEDLINE, and for 140 additional journals, the online version was being indexed instead of the print version. A year ago 90 online-only journals were indexed, and the online version of 95 journals.  Dual-monitor equipment and revised workflow and journal distribution methods are being used to work productively with the change in journal format.

## Technical Services

- January 2006, Voyager displays data in **vernacular (non-Roman) characters**
- Allows a user with the correct keyboard facilities to search records using vernacular characters
- Over 4,000 records in the database in Japanese and Chinese vernacular characters
- 2006 edition of the ***NLM Classification*** available online, April 2006
- Incorporate changes from April 2005 to March 2006

**Notes:**
With the Voyager Unicode release in January, NLM began in-house cataloging using vernacular scripts.  There are already over 4,000 records in the database in Japanese and Chinese vernacular characters, which came from previous cataloging contracts with OCLC.  Vernacular data is supplied for all access points (authors, titles) and the edition and imprint.  This allows a user with the correct keyboard facilities to search records using vernacular characters.  Both the Romanized and vernacular data displays to all users. Soon, most in-house cataloging of Chinese, Korean, Arabic and Hebrew monographs and serials, as well as Slavic serials will be done with vernacular scripts.
