New Resource Guide for PubMed Searching

A Resource Guide has been created to provide guidance for searching biomedical literature in PubMed database. It provides a description of the contents of PubMed along with basic and advanced searching tips. It also includes guidance for creating a My NCBI account, which is now required to save searches, email results, and interact with other features in the database.

The new Resource Guide can be accessed at this link.

PubMed can be accessed through the Library database page or directly at Pubmed.gov.

Please reach out to the Libraries at reference@lsuhsc.edu if you have any questions or need assistance with searching PubMed.
