If you’re new to PubMed or just want a refresher this online class is designed for you. The class is made up of 10 short units (listed below) that include videos, hands-on exercises and short quizzes. The class gives you the chance to explore PubMed at your own pace. This class takes about 1 hour to complete. 

This class addresses increasing health information access and use by highlighting information about the National Library of Medicine’s PubMed bibliographic database. 

PubMed maps your search terms to Medical Subject Headings (MeSH®) to augment your search with additional terms from the vocabulary that NLM uses to describe articles in MEDLINE®/PubMed. Take this course to better understand how PubMed uses MeSH and how you can take control of your PubMed topic searches for better precision or recall.
