Pubmed on Tap
by Nancy Carter-Menendez, MLS
Information and Education Services Librarian
PubMed on Tap is a means of accessing PubMed via a handheld device such as a Palm Pilot or Pocket PC. NLM recently reported that “…the server that supports PubMed on Tap was compromised in mid-March and was taken off line, along with several other systems. Our security team has been very busy determining what must be done to insure system and network security, and rebuild the server to these standards. Unfortunately, they are not able to tell with any certainty when the system will be reinstated."
As an altenative, try PubMed for Handhelds which in addition to PubMed searching, offers PubMed’s Systematic Reviews subset and the Clinical Queries filters.
