Does it sometimes feel like PubMed is making improvements daily?  Wouldn’t it be great if there was a simple way to catch up with all the changes? Luckily, there is a simple solution.

Attend the National Training Center and Clearinghouse ’s (NTCC) PubMed class on February 3, 2009 from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm at the Houston Academy of Medicine - Texas Medical Center Library in Houston, TX.

Registration is still open and space is available.  And don’t forget that you will be awarded  7.5 MLA CE hours after completion.

The National Library of Medicine is encouraging the use of the Advanced Search feature in PubMed to search for specific citations.  The search is similar to the Single Citation Matcher and searches for a particular citation using the Author, Journal, Publication Data, Title, Volume, Index, and Pagination fields.
