What is OvidSP?

OvidSP is a search platform which provides access to databases, books and journals offered by the Medical Library
at Health First.

Does OvidSP allow me to view the full-text of books and journals?

OvidSP will allow you to view the full-text content of selected books and journals. The primary medical and nursing literature databases, MEDLINE and CINAHL are available through Ovid. These literature databases contain links to the full article for only those electronic journals to which our library subscribes. Also available on OvidSP is the Books@Ovid database, which provides full-text searchable access to over 100 medical and nursing textbooks.

What's new with Ovid for 2009?

New this year, the Library is offering an evidence-based medicine package which includes the well known Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews. Also new this year is Nursing@Ovid, our nursing information portal.
