See it at http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/mesh. See the full NLM Tech Bulletin announcement at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/jf11/jf11_pm_mesh_db.html If it looks familiar, it is the same streamlined interface that both PubMed® and the NLM® Catalog have had for some time. PubMed® Subset Strategies Updated for 2011Friday, February 11th, 2011From the NLM Technical Bulletin: PubMed® subject subset strategies are reviewed each year to determine if modifications are necessary. Modifications may include revisions due to changes in MeSH® vocabulary, adding or deleting terms, and changing parts of a strategy to try to optimize retrieval. The following subset strategies were revised on February 9, 2011: Cancer Complementary Medicine Dietary Supplements Toxicology Veterinary Science See the complete list of subset strategy definitions at http://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/pubmed_subsets.html Holiday ObservanceFriday, February 11th, 2011Both NLM and MAR offices will be closed on Monday, February 21 in observance of Presidents’ Day. Award Report: Crouse Hospital Partners with the VNA of CNYFriday, February 11th, 2011Crouse Hospital Library recently partnered with the Visiting Nurse Association of Central New York to provide online resources and training for PubMed and MedlinePlus for their nursing, rehabilitation and administrative staff. The VNA of CNY provides home health care services to a variety of patients, from newborns to the elderly, for well care to acute and chronic care. In order for this agency to keep pace with advances in patient care, the staff need access to current medical and nursing information. As Lynne Bird, Director of Education at the VNA of CNY stated, “Staff need access to information immediately, at their fingertips, so that they can utilize current health information to ensure quality patient care.” Unfortunately, due to budget constraints, the VNA of CNY has been unable to keep pace with access to needed current information. This partnership provided resources needed to utilize evidence based best practice protocols, patient education resources, and continuing education materials. Additionally, the grant offered access to the Library and Librarians who offered research expertise. My awareness of the products and services offered has improved greatly…I have increased my use of these products as a result of taking the class. It was great. I never knew so much information was out there for me to utilize. I am very appreciative of the opportunity.
