Archive for February, 2006Added Security During My NCBI RegistrationWednesday, February 15th, 2006An additional step will be added to the My NCBI registration process in order to prevent automated programs from setting up accounts. On the registration screen, five characters will be displayed as an image and registrants will be asked to type the five characters into a text box.

PubMed Getting a MakeoverTuesday, February 7th, 2006Subject: RE: FW: PubMed Getting a Makeover (from Bio-IT World) This is the official word about the new NCBI Initiative: The NCBI Discovery Initiative is an integral part of an ongoing plan to improve the effectiveness of searching NLM and NCBI medical and biological data resources. These resources are rapidly expanding in the breadth and depth of information available as well as in usage. But more importantly, the databases are highly interlinked, providing users with unparalleled opportunities for exploring a rich information space and employing the data in the process of scientific discovery. A goal of this Initiative is to assist users in finding related information and in following the linkages that are most relevant to their queries. The framework for supporting this approach is similar to methodologies used in popular search engines, but enhanced to exploit the biological relationships among these specialized databases. Although improvements will be incrementally introduced over the next year, the Discovery Initiative is envisioned as the leading edge of a long-range plan to maximize the utility of NLM’s biomedical data resources for its entire user community.
About UsFriday, February 3rd, 2006The mission of the National Network of Libraries of Medicine (NN/LM) is to advance the progress of medicine and improve the public health by providing all US health professionals with equal access to biomedical information and improving the public’s access to information to enable them to make informed decisions about their health. The New York University Health Sciences Libraries, with the flagship library of Frederick L. Ehrman Medical Library, as the new Regional Medical Library for the Middle Atlantic Region of Delaware, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania will work to support this mission. |
