MeSH Changes

For all of you MeSH heads, the NLM Technical Bulletin has announced changes to the MeSH Category V terms. These terms will no longer be MeSH Headings but will be identified as Publication Types in Medline and NLM Catalog records.

The Limits screen will display these terms under "Type of Article." PubMed searchers who use search tags will need to use [PT] as the search tag for these terms. Don't forget to look at your My NCBI saved searches and make the appropriate changes if they contain any of the terms.

For more information go to:

and look for a future article in the NLM Technical Bulletin on how similar changes will occur in LocatorPlus.
