When a local medical library is not available, it is often necessary for physicians to discover alternate ways to receive medical information. Rural physicians, particularly, can make use of a computer program called Grateful Med that provides access to the same literature available to physicians in large cities. This program permits the user to perform database searches on the National Library of Medicine database (MEDLINE), corresponding to the primary index to medical literature, Index Medicus. In this article, we give the procedure for procuring a National Library of Medicine password and for making efficient use of the Grateful Med program.
当当地没有医学图书馆时，医生常常需要寻找其他途径来获取医学信息。尤其是乡村医生，可以利用一种名为“Grateful Med”的计算机程序，该程序能让他们获取与大城市医生所使用的相同文献。这个程序允许用户在国立医学图书馆数据库（MEDLINE）上进行数据库搜索，MEDLINE相当于医学文献的主要索引《医学索引》（Index Medicus）。在本文中，我们将介绍获取国立医学图书馆密码的步骤以及高效使用“Grateful Med”程序的方法。
