The information needs of today’s nursing and allied health community are changing. In the classroom or the library, at the bedside or the workstation, they want seamless access to trusted information so they can answer real-world questions quickly and confidently.

At Ovid, we conducted extensive market research with students, practitioners, and administrators, as well as librarians and information managers. We discovered that today’s nurses are looking for a new type of e-resource solution that offers:

• One destination for all their educational and professional information needs
• One place for bibliographic and full-text content
• Quick and easy access regardless of whether they’re an expert or beginning searcher
• High-quality, current information that’s relevant to everyday work
• Simple, intuitive tools that integrate search and discovery into everyday workflow

Based on direct feedback and built on a clear understanding of what today’s nurses need, Nursing@Ovid consists of:

• Nursing@Ovid Interface – Simple, easy to use, and built with the architecture of OvidSP. You’ll find familiar tools like Basic Search, Advanced Ovid Search, and other search modes; workflow tools such as Search Aid, Results Manager, and other features; and AutoAlert and eTOCS alerting tools to keep up-to-date on the latest research. Includes nursing-specific search filters to uncover precise results quickly.

• Ovid Nursing Subject Thesaurus – a proprietary Controlled Vocabulary that, along with an associated Nursing Lexicon, meets the specific needs of nursing professionals of all types and will enhance retrieval from all resources searched within Nursing@Ovid.

• Ovid Nursing Database - Based on the nursing and allied health sub-set of Ovid MEDLINE, this bibliographic data set is enriched with further bibliographical data from Ovid, and indexed against the Ovid Nursing Subject Thesaurus.

• Premium Full-Text Resources – Highly-cited nursing and allied health journals published by leading publishers, including Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW). Access to timely continuing education and CME information from the Clin-eguide Nursing Advisor is available for existing Clin-eguide subscribers.

• Ovid Universal Search?˘ - Ovid’s premium cross-platform solution, also available in OvidSP, which allows users to search and retrieve relevant content from non-Ovid platforms, and integrate that content into search results.
