Format

The bulletin is not peer reviewed.

It was published on a monthly schedule until 1990, after which point it was switched to bimonthly. [8] It was a paper periodical until the January–February 1998 issue, which was published online, along with all further issues. [8]

History

The newsletter's first issue appeared in 1969 as the MEDLARS/Network Technical Bulletin; it was changed after six issues to Library Network/MEDLARS Technical Bulletin. [9] In 1977, the current NLM Technical Bulletin was formed from the merger of the Library Network/MEDLARS Technical Bulletin and the TOXLINE Technical Bulletin; and the new bulletin continued with the issue numbers of the Library Network/MEDLARS Technical Bulletin.

Website

After the 1998 transition to an online-only publication, printable versions of each issue were offered on the website. Since 2018, a printable version has not been offered for new issues. [10]
