Jack F., in Karachi, asked this:

I want to create a database like PubMed for our Webpage. 
Can anyone
help me or give me a clue to which software/programme I
should be using.
This is extremely important for me.
Thank you.

and in a separate email to him, I responded like this:



I saw your question in the EndNote discussion-list.

I think you should first carefully define your terms, and
the goals.

Do you really need a searchable database?

Or

Would a list of references do nicely

Or

Would a LINK to a Pubmed search work just fine...

Once you know exactly what you want, then it would be
possible to talk
about how to do it.

Go here:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/site
s/entrez?Db=pubmed&Cmd=DetailsSearch&Ter
m=karachi%5BAll+Fields%5D

or, if that fails for some reason, here is the same thing
expressed in a
shorter way:

http://tinyurl.com/2xwv2o


... and note that it did a Pubmed search.

And if you used that same URL 3 days or 3 months or 3 years
from now,
there might be NEW REFERENCES, so it's nice in that it's not
"time-
dependent..."
