PUBMED's "ADVANCED SEARCH" FEATURE SOON TO GO LIVE

The National Library of Medicine's PubMed database will go live with its Advanced Search feature soon. It will contain both the Single Citation Manager and most Limits all on one easy-to-use screen. A new section has been added to the bottom, Focused Queries, which provides links to Clinical Queries and Special Queries pages. Experienced searchers will want to use the Advanced Search feature because the PubMed homepage will eventually be changing to a Google-like search screen for the general public.
For a sample view of the Advanced Search page please go to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/advanced .
