# LITERATURE DATABASES ##### Together, NCBI's literature databases constitute an extended searchable library of the life sciences literature.
#### PubMed: A service of the National Library of Medicine that provides access to over 14 million citations from MEDLINE and additional life sciences journals. PubMed includes links to many sites providing full text articles and other related resources.
#### PubMed Central: PubMed Central is a digital archive of life sciences journal literature, developed and managed by NCBI. With PubMed Central, NCBI is taking the lead in preserving and maintaining open access to the electronic literature.
#### Bookshelf: In collaboration with authors and publishers, NCBI is adapting textbooks and monographs for the Web and linking them to PubMed as well as to other resources, such as GenBank, LocusLink, and OMIM, as appropriate. NCBI-authored resources are available in this database as well such as the NCBI Handbook, Coffee Break, and Genes and Disease.
#### OMIM: This database is a catalog of human genes and genetic disorders authored and edited by Dr. Victor A. McKusick and his colleagues at Johns Hopkins and elsewhere and developed for the Web by NCBI.
#### PROW: Protein Reviews On the Web is an online resource that features PROW Guides — authoritative short, structured reviews on proteins and protein families. The Guides provide approximately 20 standardized categories of information for each protein.
