Systematic Reviews - What are they? Where are they? What do they include?
Webinar Date: Tuesday, 22nd September, 2020
Webinar Time: 2pm BST
Presented By: Michael Fanning, Ovid Training Manager based in Europe
About this webinar:
Systematic Reviews are the informational backbone of evidence-based medical practice. Initially, systematic reviews focussed predominantly on the effectiveness of a clinical intervention - as indicated by randomised controlled trials. However, today's researchers are confronted by a wide range of questions for which they also need to review literature systematically, and not only through the lens of clinical effectiveness. Using practical examples run on Ovid MEDLINE and Embase, this webinar will demonstrate the variety of systematic reviews currently under discussion. It will show how to locate them using different search techniques, such as limits, search filters and free-text searching. In conclusion, we will consider what, aside from randomised controlled trials, constitutes a systematic review.

Marketing Online Resources in the Academic Library

About this webinar:
This webinar will focus on how to approach promoting e-Resources. The occasional tweet and poster is not enough to truly market our resources to students and academics: how do we move beyond this to frame messages so they have the most impact? What actually matters to our audiences? Which channels should we use? The purpose of this session is to break marketing down into easily manageable chunks, and enable you to prioritise what to do next when it comes to communicating the value of your resources.

Statistics - How to calculate cost-per-article using COUNTER 5 metrics
Previously recorded on Thursday, 27th February, 2020
Presented by: Charlotte Viken, a Swedish librarian who is now a Senior Consultant in the Customer Success Team in Ovid
About this webinar:
Libraries are under increasing pressure to justify their expenditure. Over the past decade, library administrators have become more interested in using cost-per-use techniques in their reports to quantify the worth of e-resources. The most common approach is to calculate how much the product cost during a given period, divided by how many times it was used. In this short webinar, we will show how to calculate cost-per-article, looking at examples of COUNTER 5 Standard Views and comparing them to the corresponding COUNTER 4 reports. We will briefly point out the most important changes, and we will show the effects the new metric types have on cost-per-article calculations.
