Future Plans: Discovery Initiative

NCBI director Dr. Lipman’s comments, appeared in PuMed Getting a Makeover, Bio-ITWorld.com Jan 30,2006

http://www.bio-itworld.com/newsitems/2006/january/01-30-06-news-pubmed “What we’ll do instead is, using computational tools,

poke around for you and then put [the related information] right on the record.”

“we want them to find answers to questions they didn’t even know they had.”

LinkOut resources will hopefully be more visible!

Questions or Comments??
