BIOETHICSLINE Citations Added

AIDSLINE was updated with AIDS-related citations from BIOETHICSLINE on April 11, 1997. There were 708 records pulled from the BIOETHICS database. These records include all the unique materials from the file, excluding monographs and journal articles, dating back to 1980. Specifications have been written for the conversion of BIOETHICSLINE monographs and journal articles to AIDSLINE format and programming will commence this year.
