这项研究比较了四个最终用户系统(Paperchase、Grateful MED、Med-Base或精简剑桥：Medline)的特点，并确定了哪一个系统最适合印第安纳大学医学和验光图书馆通过MEDLINE向教职员工和研究生提供生物医学信息。检查了成本、易用性、检索、培训需求、设备需求和文档的充分性。这项研究包括根据现有文献对每个系统的特点进行比较；由调查人员在每个系统和常规NLM MEDLINE上进行的受控搜索；以及基于观察、问卷调查和对11名图书馆顾客的采访进行的用户研究，这些读者在四个系统上都进行了相同的搜索。
This study compared features and determined which of four end-user systems (PaperChase, GRATEFUL MED, Med-Base, or Compact Cambridge: MEDLINE) would best serve the Medical Sciences and Optometry Libraries of Indiana University in providing biomedical information to faculty and graduate students through MEDLINE. Cost, ease of use, retrieval, training needs, equipment requirements, and adequacy of documentation were examined. The study consisted of a comparison of the features of each system based on available documentation; a controlled search performed by the investigators on each system and on regular NLM MEDLINE; and a user study based on observations, questionnaires, and interviews with eleven library patrons who performed the same search of their choice on each of the four systems.
