Its been about a while- very welcome and sensible move by NLM.
By the way, I have forwarded the messages from this list in an urgent
message re denied access I've sent to NLM. I just use the email for help
which any of us can use, so do please feel free to contact them direct about
any problems with PubMed/ Medline too. Email is [log in to unmask]
I'll forward any reply I get.
I can see why there may be concerns about loads of downloading from PubMed
*Central*, but that shouldnt be dealt with by blocking PubMed access. And we
need clarification about how much downloading is too much.
(I dont have any NeLH or NHSnet access contacts, if its something about
that.)

I discovered by accident that one can type
www.pubmed.gov
to access medline. It is easier to remember or to give out as the
address
for the database.

I sometimes recommend to go to www.bmj.com which is a nice site
anyway,always worth passing through and alerting people to, and then
take
the bottom option on the blue erctangle 'PubMed'.
Best wishes,
