PubMed Redesign Now Available for Preview

This article was featured in Library Notes #57 (October 2009).

The PubMed search interface is about to undergo its largest design change in years and a preview is now available. Search functionality appears to be the same while most of the changes relate to the results display. Galter librarians are still in the process of exploring the new interface and will be updating our online guides very soon. The Galter Library's PubMed class on October 15 will feature the new design.

You can access a preview of the redesign from the PubMed homepage or at http://preview.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?holding=norwelib&otool=norwelib. The preview and original version will run side by side for approximately two weeks after which time the preview will be the only option available. For a detailed list of the various changes, see the September 30 issue of NLM Technical Bulletin.
