The collections of the<unk><unk>  of<unk>  include more than seven million books, journals, technical reports, manuscripts, microfilms, photographs, and images on<unk>  and related sciences, including some of the world's oldest and rarest works.
Since 1879, the NLM has published the Index Medicus, a monthly guide to articles in nearly five thousand selected journals. The last issue of Index Medicus was printed in December 2004, but this information is offered in the freely accessible PubMed amongst the more than fifteen million MEDLINE journal article references and abstracts going back to the 1960s and 1.5 million references going back to the 1950s.
The NLM also runs the<unk>  Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) which houses biological databases freely accessible over the Internet through the Entrez search engine and PubMed.
The Toxicology and Environmental Health Program (TEHIP)], established at the NLM in 1967, is charged with developing computer databases compiled from the medical literature and from the files of governmental and nongovernmental organizations. TEHIP has implemented several information systems for chemical emergency response and public education, such as the Toxicology Data Network (TOXNET), Tox Town, Wireless Information System for Emergency Responders (WISER), ToxMystery,and the Household Products Database. These resources are accessible without charge on the Web.
The Extramural Programs Division provides grants to support research in medical information science and to support planning and development of computer and communications systems in medical institutions. Research and publications in the history of<unk>  and the life sciences are also supported.
