The US National Library of Medicine produces both MEDLINE and PubMed. Here's how they explain the distinction:

Subject: pubmed and medline : no clear distinction !!

Hi

I know this issue  has been discussed before , but really there are a lot of different opinions about it ;

so far there has been no real differenciation between medline and pubmed

generally we say that : pubmed is searhc motor  and medline is a database of citations ..

but is there a consensus of librarians about what really the difference is  ? !!


thanks
