Welcome to the Library's Nursing Faculty page.

I'm your Liaison Librarian, and I'm here to help! Explore the content in this guide to learn about specific Nursing research support in the Walden Library for faculty.

The National Library of Medicine (NLM) is replacing the current version of the PubMed database with a newly re-designed version. The new version is now live and can be found at https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. It replaces the legacy interface this spring.

We've updated our Walden Library PubMed Link to go to the new interface. Use this link to see the Find@Walden button when Full Text is available. When not available, it will offer our Document Delivery Service.

Some of the big changes between legacy PubMed and new PubMed include:

• A more modern-looking search interface with "Best Match" showing first by default.
• Mobile device adaptability: it should be easier to search PubMed from your phone or tablet.
• Citation creation tools: formats citations for an article in AMA, MLA, APA, or NLM style.
• Scrolling search results (instead of clicking through pages).

Most of the search features you use in the legacy version of PubMed are found in the newer version (e.g. MeSH headings, advanced search building, single citation matcher, etc.), but may be found under different menus or in different areas of the website. Some of the functions and look of the new PubMed may change as the NLM continues to receive user feedback.

Journals and conference websites will post calls for papers at various times of the year.

To find current calls for papers:

• Try a Google search:
  nursing "call for papers"

• You can also add more specific subject terms to nursing. For instance:
  oncology nursing "call for papers"
