HealthSTAR Files Reconfigured

HealthSTAR Files Reconfigured. NLM Technical Bulletin. 1999 Jul–Aug;(309):e1.

July 1999 [posted]

The HealthSTAR ELHILL file configuration changed on July 29, 1999. In the new file configuration, HealthSTAR contains citations from 1992 forward and HealthSTAR75 contains citations from 1975-1991. Two years of data (1990-1991) were moved from HealthSTAR to the backfile, because the current file had run out of the space needed for the addition of new data. The messages you see when you connect to these files in ELHILL will NOT be changed, that is they will continue to show the past years of coverage.

The IGM HealthSTAR search screen year range pull-down menu has changed so that the current file shows the correct start date of 1992, rather then 1990.
