HubMed
HubMed is an alternative interface to the powerful PubMed. While the content is the same and searches will retrieve identical results, HubMed provides more options for viewing, sorting, exporting, tagging, citation analysis, and syndicating the results list. A link on the homepage will add a HubMed search box to your Firefox browser, or you may add the bookmarklet to Internet Explorer or other browsers to search. Many results also include a link to Scopus, where registered users may save articles of interest or find full text of articles in journals W&L has access to.
Perhaps the most useful tool is the option to create RSS feeds from your search. This is a great way to keep up with articles of interest.
