Subject: MEDLINE: Summary

A while ago, I said (in alt.internet.services and bit.listserv.infonets)
  Does anyone know if access to MEDLINE (Lockheed's medical database)
  is possible via the internet. I assume that one has to be a registered
  'user' before access is possible.
I received a number of replies, the following were the most helpful.
(at least one site said they had it available as a general facility)
Thanks to all who replied.

Sure but you might add that it is NOT free.  It is a pay for use database.
It is also a very complex database which would be best serched using the
NLM grateful med software (which works on the internet as well as phone
lines), otherwise the search languge is old, and very cumbersome, when you
are paying by the minute it adds up.  If you request info from NLM I'm sure
they have a more accurate posting than I can provide.

the best ways to access MEDLINE is via NLM's Grateful Med software, which is
designed for non-librarians, etc., to use. Call NLM at 1-800-638-8480 for more
info on Grateful Med, which is very inexpensive and available for both DOS and

that MEDLINE is also availble on CD-ROM in many medical and large academic

The Government Printing Office sells this information on magnetic tape,
it is also available from a variety of other sources such as Legi-Slate
and the Congressional Information Service for various fees (usually a lot
less than what the government charges, and more conviently packaged).  If
you don't mind it in paper form, your can often have your senator or
represenative send you a copy for free.


Here's what GPO charges

Daily Bill Digest			(1 year subscription) $21,270.00
  A compilation of bills reported and filed by the various committees of
  the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives (magnetic tape)

Daily Bills                             (1 year subscription) $18,750.00
  All bills reported and filed by the various committees of the U.S. Senate
  and House of Represenatives on a daily basis (magnetic tape)

Senate and House Reports                 (2 year subscription)$165,000.00
  All reports issued by the various committees of the U.S. Senate and
  House of Representatives (also, single reports are available on magnetic
  tape for $125.00 per tape)

This may or may not be irrelevent but there is also a COM file which uses

requires NETMBX privileges but on the upshot does not require bitnet

Jim,

While this is written as a letter, I'm posting it as you've
asked one of the most pervasive FAQs from Internet users: how 
to find someone's email address.  (My favorite FAQ, from outsiders,
is "Who's in charge of this Internet, anyway?")

Adam's answer of how to get someone's e-mail address is not,
as far as I'm concerned, trivializing or offensive.  It is
the easiest and most direct way -- if, of course, you know
their phone number.

If you can call them, but they don't know their e-mail address,
the next thing to do is say "OK, you send me e-mail."  This works
real well.

Yes, there are lots of nifty tools out there to query e-mail directories.
They chew up resources.  Somebody else's budget is paying for these
resources.  Please bear in mind that the paradigm for "people
directories in the Internet" isn't like telco #s, it's more like
trying to find someone's phone extension by checking n company
phone books.

If you don't know someone's phone number, or there are other reasons
not to try calling first, then yes, it's time to determine their
email number.  That's where all these nifty/crufty programs come in,
which range from whois queriers to sifted lists of usenet posters.
I confess to having used WAIS on the com-priv archives once to find
an email address (on an indirectly connected system, so I couldn't
do a finger).  Since each system and resource addresses a different
aspect of the "how the heck do I find someone" problem... and since
many are experimental, in progress systems, it's not always obvious
what's available.  Perhaps a more comprehensive Internet White Pages
will yet emerge this year?

I've used netfind, I've used whois, I've grepped through usenet
postings.  I still find using the phone to be the quickest and most
reliable method.  Half the 'hits' I get from the on-line directory
services are other people with the same name, or not provably the
right person.  Plus you'd be surprised how many people don't read
their e-mail, or even know they're getting any -- or don't even
know they have an account!  (One of my managers, for whom I had
an account created when he got there, never logged in for the
two years he was there.)

Lastly, there are numerous, very comprehensive answers to your
meta-question, in the usenet news.answers group. I commend you to them.

Yes, they will, but they don't want to be in the public-net-access business
so they'll probably try to steer you to Netcom. Netcom's nearest access
number now is in the 310 area code, but they assure me they'll have one in 714
soon. Right now, the Netcom charges plus the long-distance bill are still
less than what UCI was charging me - which is why I switched. The people at
UCI had never heard of Netcom until I told them why I was closing my account,
and when I described it they said "That sounds great, maybe we can send 
people who just want net access there so we can concentrate on our real jobs."
Anyway, the Netcom access number is 310-842-8835; to talk to a person,
call 408-554-UNIX.
