Do You Know the PubMed Tricks?

Do you use PubMed? Many clinicians and researchers use the National Library of Medicine's [NLM] PubMed database to search MEDLINE and databases from the National Center for Biotechnology Information [NCBI].

However, many PubMed users are not taking full advantage of the system's more powerful attributes.

Do you use the MeSH Browser?
Do you know how to utilize subheadings and subset limits?
Do you what the Cubby feature is or how to use it?
Do you know how and when to use the Journal Browser?
Are you familiar with the LinkOut and Clinical Queries features?

If you answered no to any of these questions and would like to learn more about PubMed, you may want to sign up for a free PubMed class.

Regularly scheduled classes are listed to the right and customized classes are also available.

By Susan Steelman, MLIS
