How do I Print a Short Overview Summary of a longer Dynamed Document?

 

Question: How do I print just the summary / overview section of a longer document from DynaMed?  

Answer: 

Figure 1: Use the print icon at the top of the page (Circled in red).


This will open a dialogue box asking you want sections you want to print:

Figure 2: Print Sections Dialogue Box

If you only want the Overview and Recommendations section, click that box (See snapshot Figure 2 above.) to print a short summary.


Figure 3: Print Preview displays number of pages to be printed.

  • In this example, choosing the Overview and Recommendations section only results in printing a 2-page document.


If you want to print the entire document, choose "Select All"  in Figure 2.

  • Be aware that selecting All Sections by default may result in printing more pages than you anticipated, since the Dynamed articles are comprehensive.    
  • In this example, selecting all sections to print results in 83 printed pages. [Yikes!]
If you need more than the Overview and Recommendations summary section, feel free to choose just the section you need rather than the entire document.

PubMed Update: Clinical Queries Usability Study and Interface Updates


PubMed Update: Clinical Queries Usability Study and Interface Updates

The PubMed Clinical Queries interface has been updated following a usability study to support user-friendly, efficient searching on clinical and disease-related topics. Clinical Queries currently includes filters for Clinical Studies and COVID-19 articles; the search strategies for these filters did not change in this update.

Clinical Queries Usability Study

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) recently conducted a usability study of the PubMed Clinical Queries interface to:

  • Explore user goals for conducting searches with Clinical Queries
  • Identify strengths and weaknesses of the original interface
  • Recommend improvements to help users search more confidently and efficiently when using PubMed Clinical Queries
  • Create a flexible page design that can adapt to and support emerging needs in the future, such as the addition of COVID-19 filters in fall 2020 (see PubMed Clinical Queries Update Coming Soon)

The usability study gathered input from librarians, clinicians, researchers, and other PubMed users through video interviews, hands-on testing, survey responses, and web analytics. Many thanks to the participants for sharing their time, feedback, and expertise to help improve PubMed!

Searching with PubMed Clinical Queries

Based on user feedback, the Clinical Queries interface (see Figure 1) has been streamlined to focus on one search category at a time, facilitate quick access to the full results in PubMed, and make supporting information about the filters and results more readily accessible. Please note, the Clinical Queries filters have not changed in this update; these filter search strategies are documented in the PubMed User Guide.



Figure 1: The PubMed Clinical Queries interface has been updated to support user-friendly, efficient searching.

To search using Clinical Queries:

  1. Enter your search terms in the search bar.
  2. Adjust the Filter category and selected Filter(s) as needed.
  3. Changing filter settings will automatically search with the new filter applied, or you can use the Search button to manually run your search.
  4. Preview the first five results for your search on the Clinical Queries page.
  5. To view all results, click the link to "See all results in PubMed."

NLM is continuing to enhance the PubMed user experience based on usability testing, analytics, and feedback from users. Please write to the Help Desk with your comments and suggestions.

Thank you for your dedication and compassion in taking care of our patients and associates all this time.   That work will continue ...

Although I am sad to see you go, rest assured that Aspirus has an excellent Health Science Library and Medical Librarian who will continue to serve your knowledge and information needs after the transition.   You'll be in good hands!  Let me introduce you ...

Your Apsirus Medical Librarian is:

We realize that transitions like this are complicated, and they take time.   Please be aware that it may take additional time to re-work Aspirus licenses for online access to cover all the new sites.  

Until the transition is final, feel free to contact me for articles and/or research, or use the Ascension Library pages until your access officially switches to Aspirus.

Your Ascension Wisconsin Medical Librarian,

PubMed Update: Improvements to Email, Cite, and Save/Email/Send To


The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is continuing to enhance the PubMed user experience based on usability testing, analytics, and feedback from users.

Recent PubMed updates include emailing up to 1,000 citations, saving your most recently used Cite format as a preference, and convenient access to the Save/Email/Send to buttons.

Email up to 1,000 citations

You can now email up to 1,000 citations at a time (increased from 200). Batches of more than 200 citations will be divided into multiple emails, the subject line for each email will include a label indicating [1 of 5], [2 of 5], etc., and results are numbered continuously across emails.

Cite button remembers your citation style preference

Using the Cite button for an item opens a pop-up window where you can copy the citation formatted in four popular styles, with NLM style selected by default (see Figure 1). Changing the citation format to a different style will now be remembered as a preference until your browser data and cookies are cleared.

Please ensure that your browser and provider/institution allow cookies and other browser data for your customized settings to be remembered between visits. See "Cookies" in the PubMed User Guide for more information about how cookies are used and steps to troubleshoot common issues.



Figure 1: Change the Cite button citation style format using the drop down menu.

Improved workflow for Save, Email, and Send to

The Save, Email, and Send to buttons are now available to use from anywhere on the Search Results and Clipboard pages. After selecting one or more items, the Save, Email, and Send to buttons will appear at the top of your browser window (see Figure 2). Clearing selected items or returning to the top of the page will hide this interface.
