As of February 4, Ovid’s interface to resources including Medline, EBM Resources, Books@Ovid, Your Journals@Ovid, and PsycInfo will have a new look. Users accustom to the advance keyword searching in Ovid Medline which maps searching terms to the Medical Subject Headings will need to choose the ‘Advanced Ovid Search’ tab.  Ovid’s default screen will be the ‘Basic Search’ which searches by Natural Language Processing, an algorithm for word-to-one concept matching. For more information contact your library liaison, the LInC Desk (706-721-3441), email libref@mcg.edu, or visit Tutorials and Other Aids.

The Library is offering several hands-on classes focusing on the changes to the Ovid interface.  Please RSVP to Sandra Bandy sbandy@mcg.edu, walk-ins are also welcomed.

The classes will be held in AB-163:
