``New references from Medline to your e-mail account''
BioMail is a web-based application for medical researchers, biologists, and anyone who wants to know the latest information about a disease or a biological phenomenon. It is written to automate searching for recent scientific papers in the PubMed Medline database. BioMail is free and will stay free.
What does BioMail do?
Periodically BioMail does a user-customized Medline search and sends all matching articles recently added to Medline to the users' e-mail address. HTML-formatted e-mails generated by BioMail can be used to view selected references in medline format (compatible with most reference manager programs).
Benefits of using BioMail:
- Automates literature searches so you don't miss new papers
- Helps user `refine' search patterns and then stores them
- Converts results into several formats for import into reference manager applications
- Allows Medline searching without fast or continuous web access
New in version 0.61:
- Has `Reference Treasury' for storing important references
- Abstracts available by clicking a button in your html formatted e-mail
BioMail is released under GNU GPL license. BioMail was written in Perl for Linux. It was also checked under Sun Solaris7, Irix 6.5 (on SGI), Tru64 Unix 4.OE (on Digital alpha), and should be fine for other Unix OSes. BioMail requires a standard Perl distribution and two additional Perl modules from CPAN – LWP::Simple and Mail::Mailer.
