My NCBI is a free service by the US National Library of Medicine.  Here is how to register:

• Click Register for an account (only once) on the My NCBI Sign In page.
• Enter a username (3 or more alpha-numeric characters) and a password (6 or more alpha-numeric characters).
• Choose a security question and answer so you can use it to reset your password if you forget it.
• Enter the characters displayed as an image in the text box to help us prevent automated programs from registering accounts.
• You can enter a default email address. This email address will be used for both automatic e-mail updates and the Send to E-mail feature in PubMed.

• • Register for a personal account
  • Save search strategies in order to run them at a later date (check for new citations)
