PubMed Interface Redesign

October 22nd, 2009 by Pat | No Comments | Filed in Class of 2010, Class of 2011, Class of 2012, Class of 2013

Be prepared for a change:

The National Library of Medicine recently announced a redesign of the PubMed Interface. Currently, users can preview the new interface while still accessing the old version. However, shortly the redesigned version will replace the old. All the changes are fully explained in the NLM Technical Bulletin. Take a minute to review this article to see how the redesign will affect the homepage, display formats, summary results, advanced searching, My NCBI, and other PubMed functions. Question? Ask an LHL librarian.

October 19th, 2009 by Pat | No Comments | Filed in Class of 2010, Class of 2011, Class of 2012, Class of 2013

Updating sites for all SOM classes was getting to be difficult so we are transitioning to a single site for all School of Medicine students at http://www.lhl.uab.edu/lhlsom/.  We’ll be updating the links but you should bookmark this new page or update your RSS feed.  To see post specific to your class, use the categories option on the left sidebar.  If you’d like to suggest any changes or improvements, please let us know.
