Abstract

Reviews Ovid searching software, a system for searching and manipulating output from bibliographic databases. It allows fields of indexes to be searched, or for terms of a controlled vocabulary to be mapped, provides a variety of display options and permits customisation of system features. Output may be directed to e-mail. Ovid interface with over 80 commercial databases to exploit the features of each. Covers vendor and user profiles; operating environment; user interface, search strategies; display and manipulation of documents; and documentation
