2. Information about the history of PubMed https://www. nlm. nih
The National Library of Medicine started as a shelf of books in the Surgeon General’s office in 1836 but has grown to a collection of millions of print and electronic resources
In 1879, Billings began the first comprehensive index of journal articles, the Index Medicus. It was inspired by his own experience: while writing his thesis on epilepsy, he was frustrated by the lack of a subject index to the medical literature. MEDLINE, NLM's online database, is an electronic version of that publication. MEDLINE contains over 14 million references dating back to the mid-1950s.
