Introducing the New PubMed

A few weeks ago we gave you a sneak peek at the new PubMed redesign. The switch from the old to the new search interface is now complete and when you access PubMed from the Galter Library website, you will be automatically taken to the new search page in PubMed. The design changes are largely cosmetic: you can do all the same things you did before, but some menus have changed.

There are plenty of help materials available to ease you through the transition. The following brief video tutorials from the PubMed website cover the basics (turn up your speaker volume):

• PubMed Simple Subject Search (1 min.)
• Search PubMed for an Author (3 min.)
• Searching PubMed by Author and Subject (1 min.)
• Search for a Journal (3 min.)

The Galter Library has also updated its online guide to PubMed.

Join us for our next hands-on PubMed class in the library on November 12 at 10am. Unable to make the class or need help immediately? Ask a Librarian or contact the Reference Desk at 312-503-8109 for help with your PubMed queries.
