The National Library of Medicine launched the new PubMed interface <http://pubmed.gov> earlier this week, had some heavy traffic difficulties (reverted back to the old site and then went live again, seemingly permanently) yesterday.
The article at the NLM Technical Bulletin provides a snapshot of all the changes:
- A much more streamlined homepage – <http://pubmed.gov>
- Tabs are gone – no Limits, Preview/Index, History, and Details (functions are under Advanced Search)
- Display options – Brief, Citation, and AbstractPlus views are gone, but MeSH & LinkOut are in Abstract view
- A separate NLM Technical Bulletin covers LinkOut in the PubMed redesign (information about URLs) and changes introduced during the preview period. Search Details box is on the results screen
- A PubMed “Quick Tour” video shows the new interface
- Notes and a recording from NLM’s webcast is helpful (see brochures)
- Check out: “Where Has it Gone?” for users familiar with the old PubMed
And now in Canada – we have PubMedCentral Canada http://pubmedcentralcanada.ca/

It appears that the “send to” link is broken. I am trying to export a list of references to RefWorks, and I believe this link is necessary.
