NLM® Classification Now Available in PDF Format
The NLM Classification is now available in PDF (Portable Document Format) at //www.nlm.nih.gov/class/terms_cond.html. PDF documents require the use of the Adobe® Acrobat® Reader, which can be downloaded from Adobe's Web site at no charge.
The PDF version is divided into three (3) sections:
- Section 1: Introductory Material (includes instructional material, class number changes, and the Table G geographic location table)
- Section 2: Schedules
- Section 3: Index
The National Library of Medicine Classification 2006 PDF was created from 2006 classification data. It will be superseded in approximately six (6) months by the National Library of Medicine Classification 2007 PDF which will be published at the same time as the online NLM Classification 2007. Future PDF versions of the NLM Classification will be published on an annual basis with current classification data.
The HTML version is still available for download at //www.nlm.nih.gov/class/terms_cond.html. The Terms and Conditions of use must be agreed to in order to download classification data available in PDF and HTML formats.
