Some tips about using Medline on Pubmed
Some tips about using MeSH subject headers discussed in class
"ADVANCED": Using MeSH headers and keyword search in conjunction
Do a regular keyword search using the techniques we talked about in class. Then, using the techniques listed below, we can augment the search by using the MeSH header search engine we talked about in class. Recent Medline records may not have been assigned MeSH headers yet, which gives one reason for using both type of searching.
NOTE: On the Pubmed website, you will see a link on the far upper left to NCBI. For an introduction to NCBI data in a variety of molecular biology areas, see NCBI Bioinformatics Resources: An Introduction: NCBI Homepage (Elliott Smith, Berkeley)
To do precision searches, go to the far upper left, select the "hamburger" icon, then select advanced search on the menu.
