Overview: "A Brand New Look for PubMed Central"

From a National Library of Medicine Tech Bulletin Article by Maria Fogelman:

Like PubMed and Bookshelf, PubMed Central (PMC) has undergone a facelift or more accurately, an “interface”-lift, to not only enhance its overall look and feel but also provide users with easier access to PMC resources and information.

Specific improvements include:

• A revamped homepage, which offers better navigation through the site as well as direct access to resources such as the Users’ Guide and NIH Public Access information

• Redesigned Advanced Search and Limits page

• An updated search results format

• Direct access to images in PMC articles

• A new organization and updated appearance for PMC’s informational pages, including drop-down menus for navigation links

The article includes loads of screenshots as you take a look at what’s new/changed to the UX.
