*NLM Technical Bulletin, Mar-Apr 2010, Book Citations Added to PubMed and Changes to Displays
It’s new and books are not retrievable labled as such in PubMed, but they will be retrieved in Medline searches. Bookshelf is separately searchable.
For example, if you search (in PubMed/Medline) feingold syndrome in the title, you will retrieve the book, chapter, or document, as well as articles, too. NIH is now using color highlights to clearly indicate full text availability.
Feingold syndrome searched in the field labeled book, will retrieve 0.
The following search terms can be used to retrieve the Bookshelf citations in PubMed, e.g., pmcbook feingold syndrome:
| To retrieve books and chapters: | pmcbook | |
| To retrieve books: | pmcbooktitle | |
| To retrieve book chapters: | pmcbookchapter |
