Features and Benefits Ovid Universal Search
What the data told us • Users search redundantly across multiple platforms for their content, and export and assemble that content • Some proprietary content is unavailable on OvidSP • Librarian administrators have to train their users on multiple platforms and their end-users resist it
What is Ovid Universal Search? • Universal Search is a multi-platform search engine, integrated into OvidSP • Customers can “connect” to external platforms, free internet search engines, and their own OPACs • Connections available for 640 sources and 5,400 titles (information bases – databases, collections of journals, etc.)
Universal Search Terminology • Ovid Universal Search • OvidSP’s integrated, multi-platform search capability • Connector • A software module needed to connect the OvidSP search function to other content sources • Source • A Publisher, Information Provider, or public search engine, such as PubMed & ……
Key Points • Universal Search allows users to search all their content simultaneously from one familiar, convenient platform – OvidSP • Customers can have confidence in the proven search precision of OvidSP, now available outside of Ovid • A single platform means less training, less hassle, and a more streamlined workflow
Features and Benefits My Projects
What the data told us • Most researchers – Ovid users or not – manually store search results into folders (print or digital) for further use and sharing • Users search across multiple platforms for their content, and export and organize their results • Convenience is key - users want a single place to group and organize the derived information from their searches
Key Points • My Projects is a workspace which allows the user to logically group their research materials into projects • Conveniently save both Ovid and non-Ovid results in one area • Looking ahead towards robust collaboration with colleagues
