From the NLM page of mobile sites we chose the basic PubMed/ MEDLLNE search, the PubMed PICO search (a mnemonic device to aid in medical literature searching), and the PubMed journal abstracts. Since MEDLINE is our most used database, there was no doubt that we wanted to provide multiple access points--one for the novice searcher and one for the experienced searcher.
