Ovid SearchSolver™

A Federated Search Solution from a Trusted Source.
Ovid SearchSolver is an exciting front-end resource discovery tool: Users can conduct a single search across a variety of information sources to uncover the full breadth of content resources available at their institution. Search results are displayed in an easy-to-use, uniform format allowing the user to further refine results or expand their discovery. And, by showing the number of results associated with each database, SearchSolver helps users identify the right information source, while serving the librarian’s mission to promote their institutional content.

Search an unlimited number of resources simultaneously.
Search across ALL types of sources, including electronic journals, bibliographic databases, Internet portals, and OPACs.
