PreMEDLINE
Ovid is providing free online PreMEDLINE access to all current and
future Ovid Online and Local-Online Hybrid MEDLINE customers. Ovid’s versions
of PreMEDLINE and MEDLINE can be searched together as a single database
with the new 4.1.0 version of the Ovid Web Gateway search-and-retrieval
software, recently released for Ovid Online customers.
Ovid will provide daily updates of PreMEDLINE on Ovid Online. Records will appear with the tag “MEDLINE record in process” until they are available in full form in the MEDLINE database. Ovid MEDLINE will continue to be updated weekly, as the NLM completes its own updates.
“At Ovid we made our reputation with researchers by offering a feature-packed
implementation of MEDLINE with an innovative search-and-retrieval interface,”
said Debbie Hull, Ovid president and CEO. “Now, Ovid users not only have
the best MEDLINE in the industry, but also one of the most up-to-date.”
MedCases
According to the announcement, the MedCases learning system combines
interactive, problem-based instructional methods with convenient Internet
access via Ovid Online to deliver users a high-quality medical education
tool in a personalized format. Currently available from Ovid for institutional
subscriptions, MedCases Ob/Gyn services are now accessible to Web users
at subscribing institutions, to be followed by pediatrics, family medicine,
and general surgery later this year. MedCases will roll out education services
for 30 medical specialties in the next several years. Institutions that
subscribe to MedCases will be able to offer the education tool to users
both via Ovid’s standard Web environment for libraries and via the soon-to-be-released
Ovid On Call Web environment designed especially for clinician end-users.
“MedCases is an important part of Ovid’s ongoing effort to provide our medical customers one-stop access to a full range of integrated clinical information tools,” said Hull. “Teaming up with MedCases allows us to offer an authoritative and comprehensive new medical education tool, integrated with our bibliographic databases, full-text books and journals, evidence-based content, and other resources.”
“We are pleased to be teaming up with Ovid to provide services to the institutional marketplace,” said Keith Cox, MedCases president and CEO. “Ovid’s literature database services will enrich the educational value of our case-based education for physicians.”
