NLM Automatic SDI Service Moratorium

NLM Automatic SDI Service Moratorium. NLM Technical Bulletin. 1997 Sep–Oct;(298):e1.

September 1997 [posted]

Effective immediately, no additional users will be added to the NLM Automatic SDI program, and existing users are advised to add no new searches. The Library is exploring ways that users may obtain the same data in a more timely and more individualized way, and at less expense to both the user and to NLM. Recognizing that transitioning to a new current awareness service may take time, NLM will continue the current Automatic SDI service for at least several months for users who are already receiving the service. See the article on pages 5-6 of this issue for instructions on how to make any necessary revisions to existing automatic SDI strategies to reflect changes in the 1998 MeSH vocabulary.
