PubMed Central revamped for better look and easier access to resources -

PubMed Central (PMC), the National Institutes of Health's (NIH) digital archive for life sciences and biomedical literature, has reportedly undergone an "interface"-lift. The aim is to not only enhance its overall look and feel but also provide users with easier access to PMC resources and information.

Specific improvements include a revamped homepage, which offers better navigation through the site as well as direct access to resources such as the Users' Guide and NIH Public Access information; redesigned Advanced Search and Limits pages; an updated search results format; direct access to images in PMC articles; and a new organisation and updated appearance for PMC's informational pages, including drop-down menus for navigation links.

PMC is a free archive of biomedical and life sciences journal literature at the NIH's National Library of Medicine (NIH/NLM). In keeping with NLM's legislative mandate to collect and preserve the biomedical literature, PMC serves as a digital counterpart to NLM's extensive print journal collection. Launched in February 2000, PMC was developed and is managed by NLM's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI).
