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.
