MedlinePlus, your family’s trusted source for free, reliable health information for over a decade, unveiled a new design today.  The National Library of Medicine has incorporated suggestions from users and freshened the look and feel of the entire site.  Don’t worry — all of your old favorites are still there, along with some exciting new features, such as:

• A Videos & Cool Tools page that makes multimedia content easier to find and searchable.
• A Share button on all health topic pages and interactive tutorials that allows you to share MedlinePlus content through your favorite social networks.  See the Diabetic Diet topic page as an example.
• A Medical Dictionary search box on the English homepage for quick look-up of medical terms.
• A search cloud widget on the homepage, and a widgets page where you can find options for embedding MedlinePlus content in your own blogs, personalized homepages, and other sites.

We invite you to visit MedlinePlus to see the changes and new features for yourself.  Let the National Library of Medicine know what you think of the new design by clicking the Contact Us link that appears on every page.

As always, you can stay up-to-date with the latest changes to MedlinePlus by following them on Twitter @medlineplus4.you, visiting the MedlinePlus  What’s New page, and signing up for email updates.

Also, don’t forget about the mobile version of MedlinePlus for reliable health information when you’re on-the-go.
