As the NLM continues to strive to make searching PubMed more user friendly, it has updated PubMed’s basic searching page. You may notice that the limits tab under the search box is no longer there. It has been replaced by a new filters sidebar that is only activated after you have run your search. First Search — Then Limit or Filter. To learn more about this new feature see the article in the NLM Technical Bulletin for May-June. no. 386. http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj12/mj12_pm_sidebar.html

The National Library of Medicine and the National Institute of Aging released a redesign of the Web site, NIHSeniorHealth, last week. NIHSenior Health allows both browsing and searching through a wide variety of health information including more than 40 Health Topics and 150 videos. Controls on the home page allow easy adjustment of font size and contrast to make the Web site easier to read. If you need consumer/patient health information customized for older adults, please try out the improved NIHSeniorHealth.
