NLM Catalog and Journals Databases Merge
The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Catalog will soon be redesigned to
provide users with a streamlined interface and enhanced search and display
of the 1.4 million bibliographic records in the NLM database. The NLM
Catalog will contain detailed MEDLINE indexing information about the
journals in PubMed and other National Center for Biotechnology Information
(NCBI) databases. The Journals Database will be retired.
What is new in the NLM Catalog
Additional searchable fields
Enhancements to the Limits page
New Journal display option and expanded Full display
Additional filters
Searching for Journals
Launching PubMed searches from the NLM Catalog
Effect on EUtilities
Additional searchable fields
New search tags will be added to limit searches to a specific field. Some
of the new search tags are: Broad Subject Term(s), Current Format Status,
Current Indexing Status, Version Indexed, ISSN, and PubMed Central
Holdings. See the full list of Search Field Descriptions and Tags in the
NLM Catalog Help
Enhancements to the Limits page
A new category of Limits will be added called Journal Subsets. Users are
able to limit searches to journals referenced in the NCBI databases, only
PubMed journals, journals currently (or previously) indexed for MEDLINE,
PubMed Central journals, and PubMed Central forthcoming journals. Users
can also limit searches to journals published in electronic-only format.
A new Images Material Type (images from the History of Medicine database)
and three new Publication Types, Portraits, Postcards, and Posters, will
also be added.
New Journal format display option and expanded Full display
A Journal display will be added to the Display Options in the NLM Catalog.
This display includes fields of interest to those searching for
information about journals, including MEDLINE indexing information. The
Full display will also be expanded to include all available fields where
applicable.
Additional filters
The following new filters have been created: Journals in the NCBI
databases, Journals Currently Indexed in MEDLINE, and PubMed Only
Journals. Users can view all available filters by browsing the index on
the Advanced Search page. For more information about changing My NCBI
filter preferences, please see the My NCBI Help.
Searching for Journals
The NLM Catalog will contain detailed MEDLINE indexing information about
the journals in PubMed and other NCBI databases. Users can limit NLM
Catalog searches to journals in the NCBI databases by using the Journals
in NCBI Databases link on the NLM Catalog homepage or the Limits page (see
Figure 1).
Enter a topic, journal title or abbreviation, or ISSN into the search box
and click Search. Automatic suggestions will display as you type your
search terms (see Figure 2).
On the Summary display, click the journal title or select Journal or Full
from the Display Settings menu to view additional information. Note that
the limit is activated and can be changed or removed by clicking the
appropriate links (see Figure 3).
Users can also visit the Limits page to limit a search to various journal
subsets. The NLM Catalog will apply an AND Boolean operator when the
Journals referenced in the NCBI databases limit is selected with a Journal
Subset limit. A notice appears at the top of your search results
indicating that limits have been activated.
Launching PubMed searches from the NLM Catalog
To build a PubMed search for journals from the NLM Catalog, run a search
using Limits and use the check boxes to select journals. Click "Add to
search builder" in the PubMed search builder porlet, and the journal title
abbreviation(s) will be sent to the search builder box (see Figure 4). If
a book or a non-PubMed journal is sent to the PubMed search builder, an
error message will warn the user that the PubMed search builder only
retrieves citations for PubMed journals. Continue searching the NLM
Catalog and adding journals to the PubMed search builder using the Add to
search builder button. The search builder will apply an OR Boolean
operator if multiple journals are added to the search box. When you are
finished, click Search PubMed to view the citations from the selected
journal(s) in PubMed.
