We are offering a 1-day class, Keeping Up with PubMed, covering System enhancements to PubMed. This class will be designed for the NLM searcher who has been searching the PubMed system but would like an update on the changes.

The 2-day Introduction class is designed for the searcher who is new to searching MEDLINE. This includes those who have never searched before, or the user with some searching experience but little prior knowledge of the MEDLINE database or the MeSH vocabulary. Students learn the PubMed search system with emphasis on areas specific to NLM databases, including the MeSH vocabulary, database fields, and Boolean logic.
