The on-line library catalog, preferably networked with other libraries, is the most popular way of entry. However, in the field of medicine, access through Medline with direct links to full-text resources would probably be a natural first choice. This product is the result of an 18 month pilot project, supported by the EU and other funding sources. Databases searchable from the user interface include products from Springer, AP, Elsevier, and several others. Duplicate records exist, a problem which is not yet resolved.
Plans are under way to make the service publicly accessible, pricing model is still uncertain.
