title: [Bibliography search in biology and medicine: a tutorial for Medline PubMed use].
abstract: To be informed about the last publications recently published or to produce a bibliography in a given thematic field is essential for researchers in the biomedical field. If the use of Internet information searching tools such as "Google" or "Alltheweb" makes possible to discover a great part of the grey literature, bibliographic databases like Embase, Current Contents, Biosis or Medline via PubMed are essential tools to locate scientific articles. Among these bibliographic databases, Medline PubMed, thanks to its free access, is the most used. However, a correct utilization of the various functionalities proposed (thesaurus MeSH, systematization of bibliographic searches...), and consequently the quality of bibliographic researches carried out in this database, requires to master elementary knowledge which are exposed in this article.
