Implementation of Docline began in March 1985 and by April 1996, over 2,800 libraries were Docline users. For more information see the Docline factsheet at the National Library of Medicine homepage. From PubMed or IGM, a user can order articles from a list of retrieved citations and have them sent to a library to supply a full-text document. The service works in the following way. The health professional performs a Medline search via PubMed or IGM, reviews the citations retrieved, and identifies specific documents for ordering.
