New Look for ClinicalTrials.gov

In September 2007, NLM's ClinicalTrials.gov launched a new web interface http://ClinicalTrials.gov/beta , which represents the first significant change to the interface since February 2000. A live link to the beta site (http://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/home) is available from the clinicaltrials.gov site. The new interface will run in parallel with the previous version, and after appropriate testing, the new user interface will permanently replace the previous version, approximately two to four weeks after launch.

A Technical Bulletin article describing the features and improvements included in the new interface is available at: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/so07/so07_clinical_trials.html. To summarize, the new features include the ability to highlight search terms, more display options, and additional capabilities for viewing studies and search results by topic. Also, improvements were made to "Advanced Search" mode and the display by location on the world map.

ClinicalTrials.gov is the NLM(r)-developed Web-based registry of clinical research studies. It provides patients, clinicians, researchers, and members of the general public with access to information about interventional and observational studies including clinical trials of drugs, devices and other interventions. As of August 2007, ClinicalTrials.gov contained over 44,000 clinical research studies in all fifty states and in 150 countries.

Elsevier Science Direct Cuts/Adds

We need your input. The UH Manoa Libraries (Hamilton) has just announced that in order to address a $1.5 million budget deficit, the UHM Library plans to cut approximately 2/3 of the electronic journals published or distributed by Elsevier (ScienceDirect). We in the Health Sciences Library have been aware of this and have assembled a separate list of Elsevier journal titles that we believe are critical to the work of our students and faculty. We would like your input as we cull this list. Please email Ginny Tanji at tanji@hawaii.edu or call her at 692-0810.

The JABSOM list is posted on our website at http://www.hawaii.edu/hslib/Jabsom%20Master%20SD%20Adds.pdf

Also, please give your input to the librarians at Hamilton. They are seeking student and faculty input before making a final decision. Please review the website below, and stop by Hamilton Library during one of the following days (Wed, May 2, Fri, May 5 or Tues, May 8, 9-5) to ask questions and provide input.

Do you think an AUTOALERT is a car alarm?

Actually, an AUTOALERT is an automated current awareness feature available in many databases such as PubMed or Web of Science that emails you when journal articles of particular interest to you are added to the database.

Say you’re researching the gene involved in autism. You go to PubMed Medline, execute a search strategy such as the following: autistic disorder/genetics OR (autism[tiab] AND genetic[tiab])* and click the “save search” button located next to the search box.

You will be taken to the My NCBI sign-in screen and asked to register. Tedious, yes, but you have to do it just once and ever after, or until you cancel it, relevant citations will come to your email inbox without your having to lift a finger. In this one specific area, you will be way more up to date than UpToDate!

Before you save your search, it’s a good idea to test the retrieval so that you receive a manageable number of citations. Judging from the number of articles published in the last year using the above autism search, you should receive an average of 7 or 8 citations every month. The purpose is not to overwhelm yourself with required reading, but to save time by identifying and perhaps reading only the most pertinent and important articles.

Watch this blog for tips on other AUTOALERT applications such as receiving tables of contents of your favorite journals and, more importantly, an automated tool to determine who’s citing your own work.

PubMed Pearls...Looking for an elusive citation?

You may have never noticed the little link to Single Citation Matcher lurking on the left-side navigation column in PubMed, but it's well worth the effort to find it. You can use it to locate a specific journal article if you have an incomplete or perhaps incorrect citation. Librarians love SCM, and we think you will too. How to do it:
1. Find and click on Single Citation Matcher. Blue column, left-hand side...finding it is the hardest part of the whole process.
2. Fill in only 3 or 4 boxes. I recommend volume, issue, and beginning page number. TIP: Don't type in the journal title on the first try because there's room for error if you have an abbreviation and try to guess the full title.
3. If you come up with no retrieval on your first try, take out one piece of information and replace it with another. TIP: Be suspicious of all pieces of information and ready to replace each one if necessary.
4. If you come up with too much retrieval, narrow it down by adding another piece of the citation such as a unique word from the article title.

Most of the time you'll find your article using these techniques. If you don't, call us, 692-0810. Ve haf other vays...
