Choosing a Display Name for the Filter Tab in PubMed® to Represent Your Library Holdings

Choosing a Display Name for the Filter Tab in PubMed to Represent Your Library Holdings. NLM Tech Bull. 2005 Sep-Oct;(346):b1.

October 14, 2005 [posted]

Libraries that participate in LinkOut can now choose a display name for the filter tab which represents their library holdings in PubMed. If libraries don't select a display name, their LinkOut Name Abbreviation will display. See My NCBI Help for information about filters selection.

To do this:

  1. Sign in to the Library Submission Utility.
  2. Click on Edit Identity in the blue sidebar menu.
  3. Enter the name you would like to appear on the filter tab under "Display Name." Display Name can be up to 60 characters.
  4. Click Update Identity.

Changes made in the Library Submission Utility will appear in PubMed after 2 PM ET the next business day.
