Analyzes the currency of the information found on SilverPlatter's Medline CD-ROM. Results show that the currency of information can vary tremendously. Priority level, periodicity, and prior database were found to have a low but highly significant influence on currency. Six tables and nine figures show results. (Author/AEF)
