BASIC SEARCHING IN PUBMED
When you first enter PubMed, you will be searching by keyword. To
search by Medical Subject Heading (MeSH), select “MeSH Database”
in the blue bar on the left side of the screen.
Enter your first term. If PubMed is able to find a match, you will
be offered a series of choices. From the pull-down menu labeled "Send to", select the option "Search Box with AND".
Perform this step as many times as necessary. You will begin to
see your search build up in the search box. When you have entered
all the terms you need to, click on the grey button labeled “Search
PubMed”.
To apply necessary limits, click on the option for “Limits”
on the grey bar that contains the search box. You may apply as many
limits as you like. Then click
on “Go”.
To look at the abstract for a specific article, click on the authors’
name(s). Some publishers allow you to link out to the full text
of an article by clicking on an icon at the top of the abstract
If you want to apply sub-headings to your search term, click on the term
and you will get a detailed display of all available options.
If you want to combine searches, click on the option for “History”
on the grey bar that contains the search box. You may combine as
many searches in the history as you like. Remember to place the
pound sign (#) before the set number.
If you want to email your results, select the option "E-mail" from the pull-down menu labeled "Send to".
