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!
