New York, NY (May 16, 2009) – Ovid, part of Wolters Kluwer Health, and a global leader in the development and delivery of customizable electronic research information for the medical, healthcare and academic markets, announced today that it is showcasing the power and flexibility of OvidSP search modes; Nursing@Ovid, Ovid’s nursing and allied health portal; new and upcoming journals, books, and book collections in a range of medical, nursing, health science, and life science specialties; and new three-dimensional interactive anatomy tools from Primal Pictures at the 2009 Annual MLA Meeting, which is being held beginning today through May 19th at the Hawaii Convention Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Ovid is exhibiting at Booth #802.

Visitors to the Ovid booth (#802) can attend 15-minute in-booth theatre presentations to learn more about best practices in each of OvidSP’s multiple Search Modes; the latest news, including a live demo, of Nursing@Ovid, first released in October of 2008 but debuting at this year’s MLA meeting; and an update on premium journals and books, including new book collections, now available or coming soon to the OvidSP platform, as well as additions to Ovid’s suite of 3D interactive anatomy offerings from Primal Pictures, one of the world’s leading sources of interactive tools for anatomy specialists—whether they’re in clinical practice, research, or education.

“At this year’s MLA, at our in-booth presentations and in conversations with Ovid representatives, librarians will hear valuable information about new and core products and how they continue to reflect the changing needs of the scholarly literature searcher,” said Andrew L. Popper, Vice President of Global Products for Ovid. “And those attendees who are able to attend Sunday’s Ovid Sunrise Seminar will have a unique opportunity to hear a fellow medical librarian’s story of what she did, with the help of OvidSP’s Basic Search, to increase usage of electronic resources at her institution.”

Those attendees who’ve signed up for the Ovid Sunrise Seminar on Sunday May 17th will hear from one of their librarian colleagues on how she was able to successfully implement a combined strategy of relationship building, marketing, and OvidSP’s Basic Search to improve physicians’ access to library resources via the physicians’ electronic medical record—thus increasing electronic content usage.

Throughout the show, visitors to the Ovid booth #802 can also here more about recent enhancements to OvidSP, including customizable Search Fields, new search limits, quarterly AutoAlerts, improved highlighting, and more; Ovid Universal Search™, Ovid’s unique cross-platform search solution; and upcoming collections of more than 400 ebooks in agriculture, veterinary science, environmental science, and related topics from CABI.
