NEW MESH HEADINGS
CILIP workshop, 4 November 2002 (afternoon only), London
Each year, usually the third week in October, a new version of MeSH is
loaded onto Medline. A number of major changes are expected this year,
including:
* lots of re treeing
* many more plants
* expanded ethics terms
* changes to the age tags
* a new subheading
This half-day workshop will explain and summarise the changes that will be
made to MeSH for 2003.
BENEFITS OF ATTENDING:
Participants will learn which terms have been dropped, and what changes have
been made to tree structures and to indexing policy.
They will also learn about the effect on searching of the growing trend for
publishers to transmit their journals to NLM in electronic form.
WHO SHOULD ATTEND?
This workshop is for researchers and information professionals who regularly
use MeSH to search Medline or to index records for their own databases.
It is particularly of use to those who regularly carry out stored monthly
current awareness searches, as the search formulation might change in the
coming year.
