PubMed: 2009 Changes
Filed Under Featured Resources
Change is in the air, and the National Library of Medicine (NLM) is not exempt from this sweeping phenomenon with its upcoming changes in the PubMed search interface.The black navigation bar, linking to nucleotide, protein and other databases, is going away. In fact, the new search screen has become “user friendly” as NLM has placed key commands and features on the primary search screen. The search box remains on the top, however, searches can now be conducted in a logical sequence with the option to open or close various windows on the main search page. To begin searching in the Advance mode, log in to PubMed via the NYU Health Sciences Library’s home page, and click on “Advanced Search” at the end of the search bar.
Remember: to always log in from the NYU Health Sciences Libraries home page to retain access to e-journals and print subscriptions, or to access the Interlibrary Loan from for those items that are not in the library’s subscriptions.

Patient & Family Resource Center Goes Red for Women
Filed Under Events, Patient & Family Resource Center
On Friday, February 5, NYU Langone Medical Center’s Cardiac & Vascular Institute, in partnership with the American Heart Association (A.H.A.), celebrated the A.H.A.’s “Go Red for Women Day” by organizing a health fair for patients, staff, as well as the general public. This is the second year the Medical Center has celebrated the annual observance to raise awareness about heart disease in women.
In addition to blood pressure screenings, healthful cooking demonstrations, and other healthy heart related activities, this year’s health fair included a table highlighting one of the NYU Health Sciences Libraries’ consumer health resource centers, the Patient & Family Resource Center (PFRC). Visitors to the table could pick up American Heart Association pamphlets and brochures, watch an online animated slide show about heart disease from the National Library of Medicine’s MedlinePlus consumer health website, and fill out a “Health Information Request Form” to receive in-depth follow up reference information from one of the Medical Center’s consumer health librarians on the health topic of their choice.
