Resource of the Week Health and Medical Research--PubMed Alert Tools--PubCrawler Relax and Search at the Same Time? Yes It's True, Thanks PubCrawler!
Those of you who use Pubmed via the National Library of Medicine will appreciate this alert tool developed at the Trinity College in Dublin, Ireland. In a nutshell, Pubcrawler allows you to formulate searches on the PubMed database (you can utlize all available syntax and limits) and have the search run automatically at an interval you desire. New results are returned directly to you, via one of several methods, including e-mail. There's no limit on the amount of searches you formulate and run on the service. Set-up takes just a few minutes. Oh yes, almost forgot, PubMed is a completely free service. For those tech types out there, you can learn more about precisely how the system operates on this page. Finally, if you want to learn more about why it's called PubCrawler, this photo will help clue you in. Another clue, the programs trademarked is, "It goes to the library. You go to the pub." �
