PubMed® Advanced Search Page Modified

As reported on the Animal Welfare Information Center (AWIC)website (http://weblogs.nal.usda.gov/awic/archives/007674.html), the PubMed Search Builder section of the Advanced Search page will soon be modified to provide users with a more cohesive method to build searches. This will be very useful to animal researchers when creating protocol application and addressing the 3 R's. See: http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj10/mj10_pm_adv_search_page.html
