Using Medical Subject Headings in PubMed


April 13, 2026


This workshop offers a brief but informative introduction to MeSH, or Medical Subject Headings, and their uses in PubMed to narrow and focus searches. MeSH can be an important way to limit searches to particular populations and/or audiences, as well as pinpoint medical conditions, epidemiology, and more. While all are welcome, this workshop is most suited to those with an understanding of basic PubMed searching.  

Date: Tuesday, April 14, 2026

Time: 11:00am - 12:00pm

New Humanities Open Access Fund


March 12, 2026


The UC Libraries is offering a scoped, one-year pilot fund that covers the cost of open access for early career authors publishing in arts and humanities journals that are not otherwise covered by one of UC’s open access publishing agreements.

The goal of the pilot is to provide financial support to author communities that are underserved by existing funding sources for publishing open access, in particular: early career (pre-tenure) faculty, postdoctoral researchers, non-academic staff, graduate students, undergraduate students, and other non-tenured early career authors. Whether due to a lack of grant funding opportunities or current gaps in UC’s open access agreements, such authors are the least likely to be able to secure funds to publish open access.

The pilot covers the full costs of the open access publishing fees for authors who meet the fund’s eligibility requirements.
