Source

Medical reference services quarterly. 11(1992) no.2, S.47-57

Year

1992

Abstract

The following printed publications list the MeSH headings: the annotated alphabetic list, the tree structures, the permuted MeSH, the medical subject headings supplementary chemical records, and the 'black and white MeSH', which is shipped as part of an Index Medicus subscription. An online database is available which combines the features of these publications and can provide useful information to searchers of NLM's computer databases. Describes the scope, searching strategies and special features of the online MeSH vocabulary file
