Remote Access MicroMeSH: Evaluation of a Microcomputer System for Searching the MEDLINE Database
Year: 1989
Type: article
Abstract: Remote Access MicroMeSH (RAMM) is a powerful but easy to use microcomputer system for searching the MEDLINE database. RAMM incorporates MicroMeSH, a microcomputer implementation of the National Library of Medicine's (NLM) Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary. RAMM facilitates the creation of highly specific MEDLINE search queries. Our goals in creating RAMM were to provide a system that could be used to search the medical literature and to teach the basic skills required to use MeSH and MEDLINE. During the past two years RAMM has been used by clinicians, library professionals, researchers and students at Harvard Medical School and at selected academic sites in the U.S. and Canada. In February of 1989 we began an effort to formally evaluate RAMM. This paper describes the preliminary results of that evaluation.
