PubMed Redesigned!!

New changes are in effect at PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's search interface for MEDLINE. Most of the features you are familiar with are still available, they just may be in a new place.

One notable change is that the tabs for Details, History, and Limits are no longer on your results page.

• To see how your search terms were mapped, look for the Details box on the righthand side of your results list. You may need to scroll down a bit as it is below other features such as "Also Try," "Titles With Your Search Terms," and "Find Related Data." Details is also accessible on the Advanced Search screen.
• To combine search sets (formerly accomplished on the History tab), click on Advanced Search. If you do not see your full list of searches, click on "More History" to see your activity.
• To limit your search results to a specific age group, language, publication type, etc., click on Advanced Search. Options from the Limits tab are now included on the Advanced Search screen.

Other changes include:

• Filters, such as the default filters for Review Articles, Systematic Reviews and dukemlib (articles available in print or electronically through the Duke Medical Library) are now located on the righthand side of the results screen. Customized MyNCBI filters are also located here when you are signed into your MyNCBI account.
  
• Suggested terms appear as you are typing terms into the search box. Note: these are not MeSH terms and thus should be used with caution. To find MeSH terms for your topic, change the database selection option from PubMed to MeSH on the drop-down menu on the results screen or click on the MeSH database link on the bottom of the Advanced Search page.
  
• The Single Citation Matcher is now linked from the main PubMed home screen. Additionally, the library's links to the Single Citation Matcher remain functional.

For help using the redesigned PubMed, please IM, email, or call us at 660-1100 and ask to speak to a librarian, or read more about the changes to PubMed online.
