  1. PubMed: Outline • Coverage • MeSH, mapping and subheadings • Simple search • Limits • Displaying and managing results • MeSH database • Single citation matcher

  2. Coverage • MEDLINE: 1966 - (abstracts & MeSH) • OLDMEDLINE: 1949 to 1965 (no abstracts or MeSH) • “in process” citations: very recent before MeSH is added • publisher supplied citations: will never have MeSH added

  3. MeSH, mapping & subheadings • MeSH = Medical Subject Heading • Controlled vocabulary used in MEDLINE • Examples of mapping: • car  automobiles • heart attack  myocardial infarction • Subheadings = aspects of a topic • drug therapy • history • trends

  4. Simple search

  5. Combined search

  6. Limits

  7. Displaying & managing results • All vs. Review • Display (Summary, Abstract, Medline) • Show (number of records per page) • Sort by (date, author, journal) • Send to (clipboard, email, save, print)

  8. MeSH database • Definition • Year added • Subheadings – vary depending on MeSH • Major topic • Do not explode • Hierarchy • Entry terms • Previous indexing • Related terms

  9. Single citation matcher
