Class on the New PubMed

The Library is hosting a class on the new PubMed!

The class will take place on Friday, February 7th from 10:30-11:30am in the Isché Library Computer Classroom (Room 405, Resource Center Building)

PubMed has recently introduced a new design that includes changes to its appearance and features. The Library class will teach you how to:

• Activate the default filters or customize the filter menu.
• Use the Results by Year graph to see trends in literature or refine your search results by publication year.
• Use the Advanced search page to search for terms in a specific field, see the search details, review your search history and combine searched to create complex search strings.
• Save your search results to a file, email your results to yourself or a colleague, or send your results to a clipboard, collection, or your NCBI My Bibliography.
• Create an email alert.

Email Reference@lsuhsc.edu or call 504-568-6100 to register.

Drop-ins welcome!

For more information on the new PubMed, check out our recent blog posts.
