New Multi-Field Search Tab Plus User Interface Enhancements

Dear Ovid Customer:

Last week we informed you of the upcoming launch of our next release of OvidSP. Beginning this week, and continuing until launch, we’ll be introducing in greater detail new features and functionality that you and your users will see on July 31st.

All of the new features and enhanced functionality are designed to optimize searching and workflow and provide a more flexible search and discovery experience.

New Multi-Field Search Mode
Now you and your users will have even more search options to choose from! The new Multi-Field Search mode allows you to combine search terms using multiple search fields in just one step.

User Interface Enhancements
At Ovid, all of our platform design and development decisions are based on direct customer feedback and interviews with users. The following enhancements are all designed to let users search the way they want to search:

• Main Search Page – the tabular format has been simplified to make better use of the screen
• New instructional “hint” text that explains how to best take advantage of the Basic Search mode
• Browse Books and Browse Journals links now displayed on the Database Selection page for easier and faster navigation to these helpful tools
• Adjustable font sizes throughout the entire interface - users can set the size in their browser according to their preferences

Over the coming weeks, please be sure to visit the OvidSP Resource Center for new marketing and support materials—including screenshots, training tools and schedules, FAQs, and more—that reflect the July 31st release of OvidSP.

Watch your inbox next week for more information on upcoming enhancements to your OvidSP workflow tools, including Search History and Results Manager. Contact your Ovid Account Representative or support@ovid.com with any questions.

Regards,

Wolters Kluwer Health - Ovid
