MEDLINE is the database of health-related articles that your doctor and researches rely on to provide the best heath care possible. It started slowly, but now indexes nearly 5000 journals and millions of articles. Today the most popular interface for MEDLINE is PubMed, which is freely available online and is much simpler to search than the old interface was. I remember when they migrated from mainframes to a web-based application for Y2K compliance. I'm afraid I don't remember MEDLINE's origins, as I was only 4. :)
