Ovid, a US-based provider of information solutions, will introduce new capabilities in OvidMD, designed to meet the needs of medical librarians and the clinicians they serve. These will be unveiled at this year’s Medical Librarians Association (MLA) annual meeting in Seattle on May 19 – 22, marking the first anniversary of OvidMD, the company’s research platform of aggregated medical resources. Ovid is part of Wolters Kluwer Health.
OvidMD seeks to put research into practice, bringing the library resources to the clinician. Users search Ovid MEDLINE, UpToDate, evidence-based databases, with subscribed resources from Ovid's repository of aggregated, premium clinical journals and books to deliver clinically relevant search results. OvidMD is said to be the only tool that allows physicians to access information from UpToDate for quick clinical answers or Ovid for deeper research, all in one interface.
Highlights of the OvidMD enhancements with new clinical search productivity tools include Typeahead that Thinks Ahead; Clinical Focus Navigators; OvidMD Web App for the iPad and iPhone; Best Bets in Search Results; Shortcuts from ‘What Am I Searching?’; Library Co-Branding; OpenURL graphics; and Improved UpToDate Search Results (mid-June).
Attendees at the MLA annual conference can also view peer-reviewed open access content from Medknow and PubMed Central coming soon to OvidSP. Visitors to the Wolters Kluwer Health - Ovid’s booth #301 can register to win the latest in technology devices at Ovid’s first-ever Wii Home Run Derby.
