MeSH on Demand: New Tutorial Available

MeSH on Demand: New Tutorial Available. NLM Tech Bull. 2018 May-Jun;(422):b11.

June 22, 2018 [posted]

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is pleased to announce a new video tutorial, MeSH on Demand: Finding MeSH Terms in Your Text.

MeSH on Demand is a tool that uses the NLM Medical Text Indexer (MTI) to identify relevant Medical Subject Heading (MeSH) terms in text of up to 10,000 characters. The tool enables users to create their own set of MeSH terms for any text, as well as use those terms to perform custom PubMed searches. The tutorial describes the tool's interface, and explains its output and principles of operation.

For more information on MeSH on Demand, see MeSH on Demand Update.

This tutorial and many other tutorials are available from the MeSH Learning Resources page and the NLM Learning Resources Database.
