In order to access medline from Athena, you should type: add library library Then, click on the WILLOW->MEDLINE link to start. If you are using a dialup or telnet connection, there will be no WILLOW link to click on in the library menu. You should instead use these commands to start up a text based interface to MEDLINE: add library tmed You can also access these databases via the web at: http://libraries.mit.edu/lists/db-web.html Scroll down to the MEDLINE link and follow it to connect to the database. If you run into any problems or have questions, you can contact a reference librarian through Athena by typing: add library owl The owl interface is just like olc. last updated: 3/12/1998
