<p>ood morning and welcome to the NLM Online Users' Meeting. I'm David Gillikin, Chief of the Bibliographic Services Division. This morning I will be talking about updates and new features to various NLM products and services, as well as reviewing the results of the evaluation sheets that we received from last year's Online Users' meeting. Paula Kintendaugh, the new Head of Reference and Web Services will talk about MedlinePlus<span class="registered">®</span>, and Maria Collins, from Collection Access Section, will speak about <a href="/docline/doclinepresentations.html">DOCLINE<span class="registered">®</span></a>. We will take questions at the end, and I'd like to remind you that the presentations will be posted in the <em>NLM Technical Bulletin</em>. </p>

<h2>NLM Online Update 2008</h2>

<p>At last year's Online Users' Meeting, we provided evaluation forms for attendees to offer feedback about the meeting and information covered. We received sixty-one responses, and the results were:</p>

<li>Schedule session at a different time (5).<br />The time period is provided by the meeting organizers. </li>

<li>Request for live demos and new feature details (3).<br />The NLM Theater presentations provide detailed coverage of new features and demonstrations. </li>
|

<li>Coffee (3).<br />It's actually against standard regulations to allow us to provide this. And, quite honestly, the paperwork alone might keep us from being here.<br /></li>

<p><strong>Indexing</strong><br />The Index Section continues its work to set a new <a href="https://wayback.archive-it.org/org-350/20180406175038/https://www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/index_stats_comp.html">indexing rate</a> again this past year. Fiscal Year 2007 saw 670,943 citations indexed, the highest indexing total achieved so far. Also, 51,823 gene indexing links were created, a 10% increase from last year. So far in FY2008, the indexing pace is estimated to reach approximately 700,000 articles. And in FY2008, over 88% of the MEDLINE citations are supplied electronically by publishers. </p>
|
|
<p>In the past year, the Index Section has been working to convert a large number of journals from being indexed from the print version to the online version of the journal. This time last year, approximately 400 journals were indexed from an online version. Currently over 1,000 journals are indexed from the online version, and this conversion process continues. Also, as new journals are added to MEDLINE for indexing, 38% of these new citations are coming from online versions. </p>
|
|
<p>This year has also seen the addition of several new types of data included in the indexing process. The Index Section has traditionally included NIH grant numbers in the indexing process. In the past year, we have also added grant number data from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, the Wellcome Trust, and seven other funding groups participating in the PMC-UKMSS (PMC UK Manuscript Submission System). </p>
|
|
<p>For articles with group author names, the individual members of the group are now being added to the MEDLINE citation with the designation of collaborator or investigator. These names can be searched specifically using the [IR] tag. A general name search now searches both the author [AU] and investigator [IR] fields. </p>
|
|
<p><strong>OLDMEDLINE</strong><br />In December 2007, 55,557 citations were added to MEDLINE/PubMed from the 1949 <em>Current List of Medical Literature</em>. We are working on mapping the keywords in these records to current MeSH<span class="registered">®</span> headings. </p>
|
|
<p><strong>PubMed</strong><br />The content in PubMed has now surpassed 17.8 million records and is comprised of:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>MEDLINE - over 16.5 million (92.7%) </li>
|
|
<li>In Process records - over 238,000 (1.3%)</li>
|
|
<li>OLDMEDLINE - over 450,000 (2.5%)</li>
|
|
<li>PubMed-only records - over 612,000 (3.5%)<br /></li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Several enhancements were made to PubMed and some are just now being introduced. In addition to the Investigator name and new grant number data mentioned earlier, diacritics now display in author names and affiliations on the AbstractPlus, Abstract, Citation, and Summary displays. There has been an expansion of the Pharmacological Action Terms and links to Patient Drug Information are now provided on the AbstractPlus display. Details on these items can be found in their corresponding articles in the <a href="/pubs/techbull/ma08/ma08_issue_cover.html"><em>March-April 2008 NLM Technical Bulletin</em></a>. </p>
|
|
<p>An additional service added this year is PubMed Alerts, an e-mail notification of major system problems for PubMed, Journals database, Entrez MeSH database and the NLM Catalog. This is a broadcast listserv to which users can subscribe. Information for signing up for this service can be found in the article <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/ma08/ma08_pubmed_alerts.html"><em>PubMed<span class="registered">®</span> Alerts: E-mail Notification of Major System Problems</em></a> and in the <a href="/bsd/pmresources.html#pmalerts">MEDLINE/PubMed Resources guide</a>. </p>
|
|
<p>We also have two new PubMed Search features being rolled out. The first feature tries to identify if a submitted search is looking for a specific author or journal citation. The search query is analyzed and two separate search results are presented (see <a href="#fig1">Figure 1</a>). PubMed will display a smaller set of citations first, indicating that it matched a certain number of citations to the specific author or journal citation searched. The standard search results follow and have been modified to expand the search translation to search all fields. This two-part feature is anticipated to roll into production for all users by the end of May. <em>[Editor's Note: This feature was <a href="/pubs/techbull/mj08/mj08_pubmed_atm_cite_sensor.html">implemented</a> in PubMed on May 27, 2008.]</em> </p>

<p>The other big PubMed enhancement is the introduction of the <a href="/pubs/techbull/mj08/mj08_advanced_search.html">Advanced Search</a> (beta) page that just became available in the past week. The link to this Beta page is found next to the PubMed Search box (see <a href="#fig2">Figure 2</a>). This page provides the ability to search specific fields, to do date searching, limit searches, and other features. The features are divided into four groups<!-- which can be expanded upon by clicking on the associated plus signs-->. Because it is a Beta page, we will be making changes and adjustments as the testing goes on. Please give it a try and let us know what you like about it or what could use improvement. </p>

<p><strong>PubMed Central<span class="registered">®</span></strong><br />There are now 457 journals fully participating in PubMed Central (PMC), nearly an 84% increase from last year. There are also over 1.6 million articles in PMC. </p>
|
|
<p>We are continuing with our PMC Scanning project. The back issues of fifty-one journals are now available on the site, adding over 97,000 total articles to PMC. From the conversion projects, 43,803 new abstracts have been added to existing PubMed citations. </p>
|
|
<p>In addition to adding PMC backfile citations to PubMed, we have also completed the first test project to take in third party back issues citations from publishers. The journal <em>Science</em> was the first test case, and this added citation data to PubMed from <em>Science</em> covering the period of 1880 to 2000. There were 93,744 new citations added in this project, and 8,705 new abstracts were added to already existing citations for <em>Science</em>. </p>

<p><strong>NLM Gateway</strong><br />The <a href="//gateway.nlm.nih.gov/gw/Cmd">NLM Gateway</a> was redesigned this year. The initial interface is a simple search box. The results page shows the results for the databases included within the NLM Gateway search. There are tools and options for refining your search. </p>
|
|
<p><strong>Training</strong><br />In the past year, over 1,000 users have taken our training courses throughout the country, covering PubMed, NLM Gateway, <em>ClinicalTrials.gov</em>, TOXNET<span class="registered">®</span>, and the Unified Medical Language System (UMLS<span class="registered">®</span>). <br /><br />A new training feature is our Web casts:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Search Clinic on chemical and drug searching in PubMed.</li>
|
|
<li><a href="/research/umls/umlswebcasts/">UMLS Web casts</a> on UMLS products and usage.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>These are accessible from the <a href="/bsd/dist_edu.html">Distance Education Program Resources</a> page.</p>
|
|
<p>In the NLM Theater this year, we have presentations on twelve different NLM products and services. These presentations will be recorded and posted in the <em>NLM Technical Bulletin</em>, along with the PowerPoint slides. <em>[Editor's Note: The NLM Theater presentations are now available from the <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/bsd/dist_edu.html#mla">Distance Education</a> page.]</em> </p>
|
|
<p><strong><em>NLM Technical Bulletin</em></strong><br />The usage of the <em>NLM Technical Bulletin (TB)</em> is averaging 542 visits/day, and nearly 1,160 page views/day. This year the Table of Contents was redesigned, eliminating the Technical Notes feature and allowing for easier linking and indexing. Later this summer, the <em>TB</em> will have a new search engine in operation. And please remember that you can sign up for <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/listserv/emaillists.html">weekly NLM e-mails</a> or for an <a href="//www.nlm.nih.gov/listserv/rss_podcasts.html">RSS feed</a> announcing new articles. </p>
