[Editor's note: Preview information is available in the article, Preview of PubMed Redesign Coming. Please also see LinkOut in the PubMed Redesign.]

N LM® is pleased to announce a redesign of the PubMed interface. While retaining the robust functionality, the interface was simplified to make it easier to use while promoting scientific discovery.
The changes to PubMed are outlined below. Please note that search processing, including Automatic Term Mapping, has not changed.
PubMed Homepage
The PubMed homepage has been streamlined, requiring less effort to find resources. The new homepage includes an NCBI Header, Search Bar, and Footer that are common to all PubMed pages (see Figure 1).
The NCBI Header includes an NCBI Resources pull-down menu categorized by topic, a How To menu, and the Sign In for My NCBI.
The Search Bar retains the database selection menu, and includes a link to Advanced search and Help. Additional Search bar selections, RSS and Save search, display after running a PubMed search.
The Go button is now the Search button.
Access to the popular tools and resources previously found on the PubMed homepage sidebar may be found under PubMed Tools (e.g., the Single Citation Matcher and Clinical Queries) and More Resources (e.g., New and Noteworthy and the PubMed Tutorials).
The Footer includes links to many NCBI resources.
