<b>Medical Subject Headings (MeSH)</b> is a hierarchically-organized terminology for indexing and cataloging of biomedical information. It is used for the indexing of PubMed and other NLM databases. These records can be searched either via the <a href="https://meshb.nlm.nih.gov/search">MeSH Browser</a> or the <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/">MeSH Entrez Database</a>. Please see the <a href= "https://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/download/terms_and_conditions_mesh.html"> Terms and Conditions</a> for more information regarding the use and re-use of MeSH.

<h4>December 16, 2019: 2020 MeSH MARC 21 Files Available for Download</h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
There has been a slight change to the naming convention for the MeSH-MARC files. The files are prefixed with the posting date in YearMonthDate form, followed by the filename which now includes the MeSH vocabulary year the file contains.</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The December files are named:<p>2019_marc_full2020.bin </p>
|
||
<p> 2019_marc_change 2020.bin</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
The January files will be named as follows:</p><p> 20200101_marc_full2020.bin</p>
|
||
<p> 20200101_marc_change2020.bin</p>
|
||
<p>
|
||
NLM hopes this change will make it clearer to users of MeSH-MARC the data they are receiving.

<h4>October 31, 2018: Downloading MeSH data files now available through NLM Data Distribution program and retirement of existing Memorandum of Understanding </h4>
|
||
<p>
|
||
Beginning November 1, 2018, the distribution of MeSH data files along with the accompanying documentation will be handled through the NLM Data Distribution program. This will allow users of the MeSH dataset, which is often used in coordination with other datasets distributed through this program (HSRProj, PubMed, etc.), to have a central and consistent location to find downloadable NLM data, review documentation and receive alerts and notifications regarding the data. In addition, NLM has retired the existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and has implemented a simplified <a href="https://www.nlm.nih.gov/databases/download/terms_and_conditions_mesh.html">Terms and Conditions statement</a> covering the use/reuse and appropriate acknowledgement of the MESH data.
