PubMed: new option to save search results

PubMed now offers a new way to permanently save individual search results in your MyNCBI account. (Previously, you could save individual results temporarily in the Clipboard, but you could only permanently save search strategies.)

To save results, you must be signed into MyNCBI - there is a link in the top right corner of the PubMed screen. If you don’t have a MyNCBI account, just click Register for an Account.

To save individual results in your MyNCBI account:
- do a search
- mark the results you want and Send To the Clipboard.
- click the Clipboard tab. Mark the items you want to permanently save and in the Send To pulldown, you should see a new option called MyNCBI Collections. You will then be able to give your collection a name and save individual results to it.
- you can access your Collections by clicking the MyNCBI link in the top right corner or the left-side blue navigation menu

Note: you MUST have your browser set to accept popup windows. The step where you send clipboard items to MyNCBI Collections pops up a separate window. If your browser is set to block popups, this step will not work.

New building photos

Work is really coming along on the Biomedical Library building project. If you’ve been around the construction site you’ll notice landscaping going in and a lot of interior spaces looking close to finished. We should have news in a few weeks about our timetable for moving back, but in the meantime we do have some new photos up on the building project website.

Evidence Based… Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day chocolates are everywhere. While we can’t offer evidence as to the effectiveness of chocolate on your love life, we’re pretty sure that chocolate is a better eating choice than the alternatives, flowers or jewelry. Don’t take our word for it - here’s a RefWorks List of some articles from PubMed on the health benefits of good, dark chocolate.

What’s Refworks? It’s a very useful Web-based citation management tool that we now offer site-wide at UCSD. The “RefShare” feature is a handy tool for sharing reading lists while keeping the UC E-Links buttons for full text access handy. Read more about Refworks.
