Congrats to the MEDLINE team at NLM:

From a tech note:

On August 5, 2006, MEDLINE attained a major milestone when the 14 millionth journal citation was added to the database.

PubMed, which reached 16 million citations in December 2005 (including the 1.7 million OLDMEDLINE citations), is searched at a rate of more than 76 million searches per month. It is updated with in-process and MeSH-indexed citations 5 times per week. More than 82% of data entry now comes from electronic submissions. NLM reached the all time annual high of adding about 606,000 indexed citations from 4,928 journals at the close of Fiscal Year 2005. MEDLINE is leased by more than 400 organizations (the majority of which are mining the data for research purposes).
