OVID platform- no access Oct.1st

As of Oct. 1, 2015,  the Library will no longer be providing access to Agricola and Medline via the OVID platform.  These databases are not going away – you will still be able to access them from other platforms, just not on the OVID platform.

Medline is available:

1. via PubMed, the National Library of Medicine's native interface for Medline
2. through SciFinder 
3. or through Web of Science, in the "All Databases” search tab 

Agricola is available free from the National Agricultural Library at http://agricola.nal.usda.gov/.

If you have set up email alerts in OVID, you will be able to access them until Sept. 30, 2015.  Library staff can assist you with re-creating these alerts in any of the Medline databases listed above. Or, for more information on creating search alerts, see the library guide at http://library.scripps.edu/keepingup.

For questions or assistance, contact Library staff.

New Interface for Ovid Medline

The new Ovid interface, OvidSP was released earlier this month. You'll find a new look and new features, including multiple search modes from beginning to advanced:

* Use the new Natural Language search method to phrase a complete question and receive articles ranked by the frequency and relevancy of your search terms.
* Add notes to records that are saved for future use by creating a personal account.
* Use the improved Results Manager to export records to email, print, or EndNote or Reference Manager.
* Search across multiple databases (Medline, Agricola & PsycInfo) and remove duplicate records for a comprehensive and convenient search.
* Take advantage of guided MeSH subject heading searches in Medline, which are still available with the Advanced Ovid Search feature.
