Wonder what happened to your PubMed Limits tab or where the Single Citation Matcher went? PubMed at UCLA released its new streamlined interface this fall, relocating some tools, changing display defaults and improving functionality of PubMed.  A Biomedical Librarian will be on hand on November 20, 2009 from noon - 1 p.m. to walk you through the changes and improvements as well as provide tips for optimizing your search and saving you time and to answer your questions. This online class does not require any prior sign up or registration. Simply join online at http://tiny.cc/kMW5T on November 20th at noon.
