Technical Notes
2008 MeSH® Now Available
The MeSH Browser now has a link to 2008 MeSH. 2008 MeSH is also available for download in XML and ASCII formats. Also available for 2008 from the same MeSH download page are: Pharmacologic Actions, New Headings with Scope Notes, MeSH Replaced Headings, and MeSH MN (tree number) Changes. 2008 MeSH in MARC format is expected to be available later this year.
The default year in the MeSH Browser remains 2007 MeSH for now, but the alternate link provides access to 2008 MeSH. The MeSH Section will continue to provide access via the MeSH Browser for two years of the vocabulary: the current year and an alternate year. Sometime in November or December, the default year will change to 2008 MeSH and the alternate link will provide access to the 2007 MeSH.
