PubMed Alerts

New Import Filter (12/12/03)
The National Library of Medicine has updated their PubMed EndNote filter to match the new programming changes recently made to the PubMed literature database. Users of EndNote who regularly search and use the PubMed filter, should upgrade to the new filter available through the EndNote web site at: http://www.endnote.com/support/enfilters.asp

Connection File
In July 2003, the information provider for PubMed, the National Library of Medicine, finalized a series of programming changes to the search functions of PubMed. This interfered with PubMed searches when using connection files for EndNote, ProCite and Reference Manager (exporting-importing functions are not affected). ISI ResearchSoft, the provider of EndNote, ProCite and Reference Manager, had to reprogram the software for all three citation managers and/or provide other work around measures. Depending upon which combination of citation manager and computer operating system used, this could impact significantly upon patron’s choice of citation management software and/or the need for a version upgrade, if patrons need PubMed connection file search functions.
