1) Understand how PubMed constructs a query and how to develop and refine effective search strategies in radiology. 2) Use PubMed tools including Clinical Queries, Related Articles, Single Citation Matcher and Loansome Doc. 3) Build focused searches using the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) vocabulary for radiology and limit searches to radiology-oriented journals. 4) Understand how to save and download citations.

This hands-on workshop covers key searching techniques, changes to PubMed and how to develop effective search strategies for PubMed and MEDLINE. Topics covered include: why keywords don’t always give the results you expect, how to limit to specific journals, quick searches to find evidence-based citations, how to access full-text articles, and downloading citations to reference manger programs. The National Library of Medicine (NLM) provides free web access to nearly 24 million citations for biomedical and clinical medical articles through PubMed (available online at PubMed.gov). MEDLINE is a subset of PubMed which includes links to sites providing full text articles and to other related databases and resources.
