This month the National Library of Medicine released a redesigned version of MedlinePlus and MedlinePlus en español. Here is a video introduction to the newly redesigned MedlinePlus:
The redesigned site contains all of the same reliable health information that users could find on the former version of the site, but in an enhanced user experience. New features include:
- A rotating feature at the top of the page that highlights current interest topics and new content on MedlinePlus
- "About Your Health" boxes, which link to popular MedlinePlus health topic pages
- A Medical Dictionary search box
- The MedlinePlus search cloud widget
- An e-mail updates sign up box so users can receive customized MedlinePlus updates
The Videos & Cool Tools page is a new page that brings together:
- anatomy, surgery and news videos
- interactive tutorials
- health calculators
- quizzes and games
Contact your librarian if you have any questions about MedlinePlus or consumer health information.
