Technology 341 Development of a Registration and Request System for Non-affiliated Health Care Practitioners to Acquire Full-text Articles from PubMed.

News of the discontinuation of the Loansome Doc service through NLM prompted many of our current Loansome Doc clients to inquire about our future intentions.
