Information research solutions provider Ovid Technologies, US, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, is showcasing its new premium cross-platform search solution, Ovid Universal Search, and its latest nursing & allied health portal, Nursing@Ovid, at the ongoing 2008 Online Information conference. Conference attendees can also learn about new e-book offerings and new current awareness tools for the EMBASE bioscience database.
Ovid Universal Search, an optional, premium feature, delivers cross-platform content searching all within OvidSP. Users can simultaneously search all of their institution's subscribed content, whether it is available on OvidSP, free sites, or other subscription platforms. They can utilise many of OvidSP's search and workflow tools to refine, manage and save results retrieved through Ovid Universal Search.
Built on the architecture of OvidSP, Nursing@Ovid streamlines access to nursing and allied health full text for use in practice, research, education and administration. It is powered by the proprietary Ovid Nursing Subject Thesaurus, a controlled vocabulary that focuses on real-world nursing and allied health terminology. Nursing@Ovid subscribers receive access to the Ovid Nursing Database, based on the nursing and allied health subset of Ovid MEDLINE, nursing-related journals, as well as access to the Nursing Advisor, a clinical decision support tool from Wolters Kluwer Health's Clinical Solutions business unit.
In addition, Ovid has expanded its offering of EMBASE, a biomedical database. It now includes daily updates as well as the upcoming EMBASE Daily Alerts, daily packages of un-indexed citations and abstracts scheduled for later inclusion in the front file EMBASE database, which will be available later in December.
