Abstract
The massive production of medical information is being met by new technologies for storing and retrieving knowledge. Recent years have witnessed the maturation of time-sharing information utilities into a full-blown industry. In medicine these services have provided bibliographic information but have recently expanded to full-text availability of journals and books. Now optical storage technology, most conspicuously the compact disk read only memory (CD-ROM), provides similar massive information storage and retrieval affordable to microcomputer users. Such devices might replace many of the functions of time-sharing. (JAMA1986;256:3376-3378)Keywords
