Would one of those new features be to "capture" the AN number (or UI in
MEDLINE/MEDLARS) to a "call number" field?? If not, please put it on the
list for the great and glorious future!!!

In Medical Libraries this is an important number for interface from patron
requests for interlibrary loans and the NLM Docline system. It bothers me,
the librarian, to think of all those doctors and scientists storing their
downloads from MEDLINE without capturing this important (to us) piece of
data for the future. We work hard at educating our clients to give us this
number and then if they use your system it disappears unless they go to
alot of work to keep it.

In case anyone is interested, the DOCLINE system is the electronic
messaging system for interlibrary loan in the medical library community.
By entering the MEDLINE AN number or UI number, the system matches the
MEDLINE database at NLM and retrieves the exact citation. There is much
less typing for the library staff and there are no typing errors. The
request is then mapped to a possible 80 libraries who might own the item
and lend it to the requesting library. Medical end users can acess the
system through Grateful Med and Loansome Do. Both products are sold by the
National Library of Medicine, (800-638-8480) for access to MEDLINE and
DOCLINE.
