NLM has extended the deadline for comments regarding the proposed changes to the MeSH subheadings. The new deadline is June 16, 2006, allowing concerned librarians an opportunity to speak directly with NLM representatives at MLA.

Monday May 22, 2006 at 7:15 Stuart Nelson, Head, MeSH Section will present additional information about the proposal during the NLM Online Users Meeting.
Dr. Nelson will also be available at the NLM booth from 10:00-11:00 am on Monday to answer questions and hear further comments.

Because of the amount of time it will take to make changes to the MeSH file, indexing manual, online indexing system, etc. any changes that will occur will not take place until 2008.
