Some of us remember the long-awaited trio of volumes published annually by NLM: the alphabetical annotated MeSH, the "Tree Structures," and, Permuted MeSH - which quite honestly I miss for those times when serendipitous flipping through pages might lead to a great find. I also miss the annual NLM update when expert searchers in the arrea would define all of the new terms and alert us to what subject headings had been discontinued or changed.
