Using PubMed off-campus through the proxy server is currently causing searches to fail (i.e. you click the Search button and nothing happens). The National Library of Medicine is aware of the problem and working on a fix. In the meantime, please use the standard PubMed address: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/
Update: The National Library of Medicine reports that this issue has been resolved. If you are still experiencing problems, please email bracken.library@queensu.ca or call 613-533-3176
