Meer NLM bibliografische aanpassingen
Op 1 maart 2007 gaat de NLM de nieuwe Cooperative Online Serials (CONSER) standard guidelines voor het maken van bibliografische records voor seriewerken implementeren.
' The goal of
the new CONSER standard is to create a serial bibliographic record that
meets users' needs while reducing the complexity of the records and the
time it takes to create and maintain them. NLM participated in the
pilot project and found that the new standard will provide a more
streamlined and understandable record for our users, as well as save
cataloging time.'

Tijdschrift afkortingen bij NLM
NLM gaat de tijdschrift afkortingen aanpassen:
Beginning March 1, 2007, NLM will adjust the way it assigns title abbreviations to journals indexed for MEDLINE® and cited in PubMed®. Rather than independently assigning title abbreviations for each title, NLM will accept the abbreviations assigned by the International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) Centre and modify the punctuation and capitalization to conform to NLM standards. The ISSN key title abbreviation will be stripped of all punctuation except for parentheses around a title qualifier. The first letter of each word will be capitalized. Subfields will not be included in the abbreviation. The abbreviation used by GenBank (ISO Abbreviation) will follow the same punctuation and capitalization formatting as the NLM title abbreviations. Because NLM uses a single record approach in its cataloging, ISSN qualifiers for specific formats will be dropped.

PubChem IDs in MEDLINE/PubMed
Uit het NLM Technical bulletin:
'Unique Identifiers for records in the PubChem databases [PubChem: An Entrez Database of Small Molecules. NLM Tech Bull. 2005 Jan-Feb;(342):e2.] are now being included in MEDLINE/PubMed records when publishers send the IDs as part of their electronic citation submission to MEDLINE/PubMed. The databases (PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay) provide information on the biological activities of small molecules, including substance information, standardized and validated chemical structures, and bioactivity screens'
De Port van ToxTown
De NLM / NIH heeft zich uitgeleefd met visualisaties en animaties op Tox Town:
'An introduction to toxic chemicals and environmental health risks you might encounter in everyday life, in everyday places.'
Het ziet er erg gelikt uit (maar ik word er een beetje ongeduldig van).
Een nieuw onderdeel is de haven ' Port':
'What do longshoremen, sunbathers, ship crews, and shrimp lovers have in common? Whether they live on the coast, work in a maritime industry or play on the beach, they can find information about the environment and how it might affect their health at Tox Town’s new Port neighborhood. This imaginary port illustrates drinking water and air quality concerns along with wastewater treatment, shellfish safety, work hazards, sun and surf safety, aquaculture and many other topics. The port also highlights possible locations and descriptions of 26 hazardous chemicals.'
Vivisimo en PubMed
Vivisimo timmert flink aan de weg op dit moment: National Library of Medicine Simplifies Public Access to Health Information with Vivísimo Search Platform.
Hun producten zijn: de demos' ClusterMed and BioMetaCluster,
"ClusterMed is a free demo that uses the Vivisimo Velocity Search Platform
to organize PubMed's extensive inventory of medical research articles
into dynamic categories that help users easily navigate search results.
"The BioMetaCluster demo "highlights Velocity's flexibility in creating data source connectors. BioMetaCluster connects to multiple pharmaceutical and life science specific databases, journals and websites both through federation with Velocity's Content Integrator and through crawls with Velocity's Search Engine. Duplicate results are automatically removed and results are categorized through the Velocity Clustering Engine into a single user interface. End-users also have the ability to save, share and export results as well as set up alerts on topics, authors or clusters of interest. All sources used in BioMetaCluster are publicly available on the web.'

Updated Drug Terminology Tool--RxNav
"An updated version of the Web-based browser RxNav is now available to search RxNorm, the NLM database of standard names for clinical drugs that references the names of approximately 17,000 clinical drugs from several sources. RxNav displays graphically links from clinical drugs, both branded and generic, to their active ingredients (e.g., Ibuprofen), drug components (e.g., Ibuprofen 200 MG) and drug forms (Ibuprofen Oral Tablet). It also associates generic with brand names (e.g., Ibuprofen / Advil)."
"Every aspect of the RxNorm database can be queried through RxNav, including the names and codes of drugs and components in the drug resources referenced by RxNorm. Spelling suggestions are offered when no exact match is found in RxNorm for a given input term. RxNav accesses the RxNorm server at NLM, which is updated monthly.
"We hope that our tool makes it easier for physicians and pharmacists to deal with electronic drug prescription and to integrate drug information from various sources," says Dr. Olivier Bodenreider, one of the co-developers of the software."
RxNav is available at: http://mor.nlm.nih.gov/download/rxnav/

Verslaving TIP toegevoegd aan HSTAT
' The National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) has recently added a new SAMHSA/CSAT Treatment Improvement Protocol to the HSTAT collection on the Bookshelf. HSTAT, Health Services/ Technology Assessment Text, is a free, Web-based resource of full-text documents that provide health information and support health care decision making.
Treatment Improvement Protocols (TIPs) are best practice guidelines for the treatment of substance abuse. The Center for Substance Abuse Treatment's (CSAT) Office of Evaluation, Scientific Analysis, and Synthesis draws on the experience and knowledge of clinical, research, and administrative experts to produce the TIPs, which are distributed to a growing number of facilities and individuals across the country. The audience for the TIPs is expanding beyond public and private substance abuse treatment facilities as alcohol and other drug disorders are increasingly recognized as a major problem.

Medline heeft een mijlpaal bereikt
Op 5 augustus 2006 is de 14 miljoenste citatie toegevoegd aan de Medline database.
PubMed heeft, tesamen met de 1,7 miljoen Oldmedline citaties, in december 2005 al de 16 miljoen gehaald... je kunt het dus echt vergeten dat je je literatuur kunt bijhouden 
Per maand zijn er in PubMed meer dan 76 miljoen searches, ongelooflijk toch?

NCBI toolbar wordt niet langer ondersteund
De NCBI heeft in nov-dec 2005 een toolbar gelanceerd. Daarover heb ik eerder via deze weblog bericht. De toolbar was goed ontvangen, en men vond het heel handig, maar toch heeft de NLM besloten er niet meer mee door te gaan. Hun prioriteiten liggen eigenlijk ergens anders begrijp ik uit hun mededeling.
Guus van den Brekel had op de vorige post gereageerd met de mededeling dat de CMB van de RUG ook een handige eigen toolbar heeft, en daarover op de de komende EAHIL gaat vertellen. (Zie de demo of probeer hem uit.)
Het is nu de vraag of de RUG ook problemen krijgt met het ondersteunen daarvan, of dat zij het wel redden. Dat laatste zou toch weer een mooie opsteker voor Nederland zijn 
Is the Institutional Share conflicting with MyNCBI? (PubMed)
Zie Digicmb "Yesterday I (and Geert Lobbestael, Medical Library AMC) mailed the PubMed helpdesk to ask about the errors I -and our users- keep getting when using our link to PubMed WITH the Institutional Share option of Filters & Outside Tools together with their own personal MyNCB-accounts. "RSS Feeds for PubMed's® New/Noteworthy
Uit: NLM Technical bulletin, June 07, 2006:' NCBI is now offering RSS 2.0 (Really Simple Syndication) feeds for PubMed's New/Noteworthy. Instructions for setting up the feed are available from the newly redesigned New/Noteworthy Web site.
RSS is a Web standard for sharing and distributing news and other frequently updated content provided by Web sites. The New/Noteworthy feed will alert you when there is a change or update to PubMed, Journals, or the MeSH databases.

PubMed tutorial is geactualiseerd
De National Library of Medicine heeft de PubMed Tutorial geactualiseerd. Deze tutorial kun je, zoals altijd, vinden aan de linkerkant van de PubMed website.
Er zijn recent een aantal belangrijke veranderingen in PubMed geweest, zoals de uitbreiding van de ' Limits' pagina, My NCBI en de ' Send to print' opties. Zie voor een lijst met de laatste wijzigingen: PubMed's New/Noteworthy '
NCBI search toolbar
Met de NCBI toolbar kun je snel zoeken in NCBI databases zoals PubMed, Genome, Nucleotide, en andere. De zoektermen worden geaccentueerd in de resultaatlijst
De toolbar heeft ook 'shortcuts' naar NCBI bronnen. In dit voorbeeld kun je de toolbar (bovenaan) zien en het resultaat van een een PubMed search over malaria vaccine waarbij de resultaten gehighlighted zijn.
