Example

MeSH Components Descriptors (Main Headings) Qualifiers Supplementary Records (SCRs) See references

Purpose Benefits medical community Indexing Cataloging Supports retrieval

History Early History Index-Catalogue (1880) Surgeon-General’s Library 2 volumes

History 1879: Index Medicus first published Comprehensive index Published monthly Published under other names

Development of MeSH Frank B. Rogers, 1954 Winifred Sewell, 1960 Current MeSH structure, 1963

Development of MeSH MEDLARS MEDLINE (1970s) Bethesda, Maryland

Analysis: Strengths Controlled vocabulary Established and stable resource for almost 50 years Backbone of MEDLINE® Most widely used medical research tool Hierarchical tree structure See references

Analysis: Weaknesses Terms are only annually updated Only text-formatted information is indexed Researchers now using keyword searching, not MeSH vocabulary Differences between online tree structure and printed structure Outdated terms still in use

Impact & Future Trends Common language created for researchers Structure still free to access -- anyone can access MeSH through the Internet (unlike most legal indexing) Specialization occurring in medicine NLM website, where to follow what happens to MeSH:
