The Bernard Becker Medical Library is changing the electronic tool used for searching and retrieving biomedical journal literature. The switch from Euclid to Ovid Online will start Oct. 1. Among the first to be affected are researchers and clinicians who have standing search strategies, such as SDI-Auto Alerts, that notify them via e-mail of new journal articles in their fields. Strategies will be carried over into the new system but changes made during October, such as adding or deleting an author name to a strategy, will not be saved.
The transition will be completed by Nov. 1. An article about Ovid Online, the new search engine, will appear in the Oct. 27 Record.
