Changes coming to PubMed

Beginning next week, the National Library of Medicine will be rolling out a new look for its MEDLINE interface PubMed.  PubMed was last redesigned in the late 1990’s and this new redesign will not only make the site more user friendly but will also expand some value-added components to results screens such as “Also Try”, “Titles With Your Search Terms” and links to free full-text articles from PubMed Central (some of these are already being “previewed” in the old PubMed).  And while the redesign is meant to make an easier-to-use, more pleasing interface, all of the powerful functionality of PubMed will remain as is.  Look for more information in this space with more details about the new PubMed interface once it becomes available.
