Ovid is Getting a New Look!

Ovid will be switching to a new easy-to-use interface named OvidSP. This new interface will be available beginning October 25th. We will have access to both the current version of the Ovid Gateway platform and the new interface OvidSP interface until February 2008. This is a great opportunity to become more familiar with the new interface. But you can always move to the new platform sooner!

OvidSP promises an "intuitive new search interface and better user workflow tools for a more powerful, simplified, and faster search experience." Don't worry, all of your alerts, jumpstarts, and saved searches will be available in the new interface.

For those Ovid users who prefer the current version, you will still be able to access it through the new version via "Ovid Syntax," which will look similar to the current version of Ovid.

We will keep you updated as we receive more information and modify our training materials. As always, if you have any questions, contact a librarian at (919) 660-1100.
