Brief Description:
DIRLINE (Directory of Information Resources Online) is the National
Library of Medicine's online database containing location and descriptive
information about a wide variety of information resources including
organizations, research resources, projects, and databases concerned
with health and biomedicine. This information may not be readily
available in bibliographic databases. Each record may contain information
on the publications, holdings, and services provided.
DIRLINE contains approximately 10,000 records and focuses primarily
on health and biomedicine, although it also provides limited coverage
of some other special interests. These information resources fall
into many categories including federal, state, and local government
agencies; information and referral centers; professional societies;
self-help groups and voluntary associations; academic and research
institutions and their programs; information systems and research
facilities. Topics include HIV/AIDS, maternal and child health,
most diseases and conditions including genetic and other rare diseases,
