Description

Designed for novice users or experienced users who may need to refresh basic skills, this course will highlight the features and functionality of Ovid. The course starts with a review of the searchable databases subscribed to and covers how the records in the databases are constructed. The course then covers the Basic Search and Multi-Field search modes focussing on the use of filters as well as how to map terms to database subject headings.

Also covered in the session are Ovid’s de-duplication features, direct export of the search results into Word or a literature management system such as EndNote or Reference Manager, linking to full text as well as working with the search results in 'My Workspace' and 'My Projects'. The session concludes by looking at AutoAlerts which are automated searches set up to run at time intervals determined by the user.

See List of Ovid databases available via Library at NUI Galway

The session will take place virtually. The meeting link will be emailed to attendees in advance.
