Searching the MEDLARS citation file on-line using elhill and stairs: An updated comparison

摘要

The purpose of this paper is to update the comparison of the ELHILL (currently ELHILL 3, formerly ELHILL 2) and STAIRS programs as they affect on-line searching of the MEDLARS citation file. The major areas follow the format of the previous paper (data base characteristics, commands, basic terminal interactions, search statements, and printing citations resulting from on-line or off-line processing).
