OvidSP Things to Remember

• Basic Search tab
• Search preference is for using natural language
  or entering a full query
• Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a quick and
  relevant search - designed to find the relevant
  results, not all results
• Anything less than a 4 star result is probably
  not relevant so do NOT get caught up in the
  number or results returned (we only bring back a
  target of 500)
• Beyond a search for the Novice/Google user, view
  it as another tool you have to help you with your
  daily job
• Great for Validation
• Great for Discovery
• Better Multi-file Searching
• Find More at http//resourcecenter.ovid.com
