2007 EconLit Reload News

The EconLit database has been reloaded. With this reload, EconLit now includes three new sort key options, available from the Results Manager. Sort keys allow you to refine records of a results set by preferred criteria. The new sort keys are as follows.

Articles are sorted in five rankings: High, Medium-High, Medium, Medium-Low, and Low.

See the Ovid Web Gateway Help context, Output Search Results> Results Manager for more information on viewing records using sort keys.
