Veterinary Search Added to PubMed Special Queries

http://www.nlm.nih.gov/pubs/techbull/mj07/mj07_vet.html

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) Special Queries page now includes a link to a new subject page for veterinary and animal health literature. The Special Queries directory provides links to either special search interfaces, or pre-sets the Limit function of the standard PubMed interface to the selected subject or journal subset. Areas of coverage for veterinary and animal health include:

• veterinary medicine
• animal models
• alternatives to animal testing
• laboratory animals
• animal welfare
• animal hospitals
• pets or companion animals
• domestic and farm animals
• wildlife
• exotic animals
• apiculture
• aquaculture
• general zoonoses
• animal behavior and psychology
• animal nutrition
• animal diseases
• animal toxicology and parasitology

The MEDLINE/PubMed Search and Veterinary Information Resources page offers a comprehensive PubMed search including subject terms and veterinary journal titles. The strategy uses MeSH headings to retrieve indexed citations, plus title words to obtain OLDMEDLINE and unindexed citations. Historical citations from PubMed Central may also be retrieved.
