    The development of MEDLINE searching philosophy and methodology is described. Searcher requirements and capabilities in moving from a batch-mode linear operation to the iterative searching and retrieval provided by the random access mode of MEDLARS II are discussed. A detailed tutorial on searching methodology for individual queries is covered. Elements of search formulation include requestor interview, query analysis, presearching, technics of selecting terminology, formulation logic, adapting indexing protocol in the search, on-line man-machine interface, and retrieval analysis. Similar searching technics are utilized in producing the two basic types of MEDLINE publications, recurring bibliographies (RBs) and literature searches (LSs). RBs are co-operative ventures between the NLM and professional organizations or other government agencies. LSs are NLM sponsored non-recurring bibliographies on a topic of current but also general interest to the medical community. All publications are produced through the retrieval and publication systems of MEDLARS II and graphic arts composing equipment. At the beginning of the 1978 publication year there were 27 RBs in routine production including Index Medicus. Through 1977, over 375 LSs had been produced.
