PubMed and Public Access: Distinguishing the different resources and discussing the impact of PubMed Central
About This Session
The role of PubMed has expanded beyond serving as a “Public MEDLINE” interface because additional resources are added through PubMed Central (PMC). Using their findings from data analysis and interviews with National Library of Medicine staff and a PMC external reviewer, the presenters will discuss the various resources included in PubMed, with an in-depth look at the purpose of each resource, as well as that of PubMed as a whole. In addition, the presentation will include opportunities for participants to discuss the role of MEDLINE indexing and inclusion in PMC in their evaluation of resources, and the use of PubMed for scholarly communications services.
