This is great, Jacqueline! Thanks for saving me from having to do a second handout; I'll steer my patrons to your page. :) BTW, PubMed just upped the number of filters--instead of 5 filters, you can now have up to 15.
Take care,
Tanya

They do random drug checks; why don’t they do random hand swabs to see which unhygienic healthcare providers are killing their patients by spreading deadly infection?

Subject: Re: Adding the PubMed Queries to your Filters, customizing a filter, and MEDLINEplus icons in your search
Indeed adding clinical queries and/or other filters to your NCBI account so that they show up each time you perform a search in PubMed is very handy. Last year I described how to add methodological filters to PubMed <a target="_blank" href="http://laikaspoetnik.wordpress.com/2009/11/26/adding-methodological-filters-to-myncbi/">in a post at my blog</a> <span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);"><span style="color: rgb(0, 128, 0);">Laika's MedLiblog</span>. <span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0);">Here I give several examples, including how to add the sensitive Cochrane RCT filter. </span></span></span>The screenshots may make it easier to see how to do it and what it looks like.</p>
Cheers, Jacqueline
