MEDLINEplus changes to MedlinePlus -
and has a new tagline as well
Did you notice? NLM is capitalizing MedlinePlus in a new way. The MedlinePlus web site has been changed to show the new usage. The name has also been changed on the NLM web site and the PSRML web site. The following description was distributed by Naomi Miller, MedlinePlus Content Manager to announce the change that took place on February 18, 2004.
"...In the new design, MedlinePlus appears in upper/lower case lettering, replacing "MEDLINEplus" throughout the site. This capitalization format better reflects common use of the site name. Also, you can link to the home pages of the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health from the text in the banner on every MedlinePlus page. Most notable will be the relocation of the "Home" tab on each secondary page beside the other navigational tabs. Also, the "printer-friendly version" and "e-mail to friend" icons are colored more brightly to draw users' attention to these handy features.
MedlinePlus en español also reflects these improvements and clarifies some text links. "Sobre" is now "Sobre MedlinePlus." "Mapa de Contenido" is now "Índice." The toggles between English and Spanish are more prominently located as tabs on the right hand side of the banner on each page.
Please note the new taglines appearing on each page, "Trusted Health Information for You" in English and "Información de Salud para Usted" in Spanish.
We know these changes will affect your promotional and educational materials and apologize for the inconvenience. We're making these changes based on your feedback and usability studies to continue improving MedlinePlus."
