Have you ever wanted to:
- Save your PubMed search(es)?
- Receive e-mail updates as new citations that match your search are added to PubMed?
- Permanently store citations you find from a PubMed search?
- Share a list of citations with colleagues?
- Keep track of searches you’ve run and the citations you’ve viewed over the previous 6 months?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, then please come to
the Sheldon Margen Public Health Library’s My NCBI: PubMed Your Way class!
Topics covered will include:
- How to register for a My NCBI account
- How to save searches and have PubMed periodically re-run the search and automatically e-mail you new citations
- How to permanently save and share citations in My NCBI
- How to set up search filters in PubMed so search results are sorted into your desired categories (e.g., age groups, citations that link to other databases, etc.)
- Other features of My NCBI
This class will be useful for those working on longer papers such as a thesis or dissertation; for those who will be doing extended long-term research for a project, report, or grant; for those who want a little tune-up; and for those who are struggling a bit with organizing PubMed citations.
