Not to bore the non-librarians out there

but as a medical librarian, I use PubMed a lot. Really a lot. PubMed is the free, government-based interface for searching MEDLINE and associated databases for articles in the health science literature. There are some major changes to how one searches PubMed coming up. Here's an excellent video showing how to use the new features to replicate what we do now. It is from the Mayo Clinic:


Thanks to David Rothman for including this video in a post.

Michelle Kraft also has an excellent summary post on her blog regarding the new changes. (She has a link to the above video presentation, but I didn't actually see the video until I read David's blog.)

Anyway, if you use PubMed either as a professional librarian, researcher, or just someone looking for health information, you might want to check out the video to learn more about the new Advanced Search on PubMed.
