October 26, 2009**** PUBMED-ALERTS NOTICE **** PubMed has been re-designed! The National Library of Medicine has completely re-designed the PubMed search interface. Because of the re-design, how you search and how you view and manage the results of the search has changed. The underlying functions remain the same, but you will be using different steps to get to those functions. Here is how Pumerantz Library will be helping you. We will provide workshops and training on the new re-design. We can also provide one on one training if you so desire. For information about the re-design please see the following article which describes changes to PubMed: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so09/so09_pm_redesign.html.
