Ovid is changing

launching a new interface, OvidSP, February 4, 2008. The
new version provides a simpler faster way to search
using either the Basic or the Syntax Search mode. The
Basic Search mode allows users to enter any search topic
or question. Results are relevancy ranked just like
Google. The Syntax Search mode supports controlled
vocabulary searching using MeSH and Boolean operators.
Saved searches in the previous OVID interface will be
available in the new OvidSP. Call the Reference Desk
(x8634) for OvidSP demonstrations. Both the existing and
new versions of OVID are available on the library web
site until February 3, 2008.
