Introducing OvidSP : New Interface for Medline & CINAHL

Ovid has announced a new interface for MEDLINE and CINAHL. Click on the Try OvidSP! link on any page in the current Ovid databases for immediate access to the new platform.

Now is the time to check out OvidSP! You’ll notice the easy-to-use interface, now with multiple search tabs geared to different types of searching.

Basic Search (see screenshot below), ideal for novice or occasional users, employs natural language searching and generates relevance ranked results.

Ovid Syntax allows you to search just like you do now in Ovid Gateway’s Advanced Search. New search refinement, results management, and alerting tools really do speed and streamline searching.



We will have dual access to both OvidSP and Ovid Gateway until February 4, 2008. As always, if you have any questions, please contact your Affinity Librarians :

Michele Matucheski at 3-0340 (MMC) or Margo Lambert at 8-2325 (STE).
