Ovid has a new look and feel. It is a cleaner look but all of the old buttons are in different locations, where they are more likely to be used or thought of by patrons.

New Features:

• Find Citation -(blue file tab) allows you to search for a specific article more efficiently when you have some of the pertinent information, similar to PubMed's Citation Matcher
• Find Citing Articles -find out where an article may have been cited
• Find Similar -links to other relevant articles similar to PubMed Related Articles
• Alerts -A pull-down list for saved searches and alerts, alerts can be saved for searches in more than one database, alerts will have scheduling options and have multifile deduplication options.
• Alerts Delivery -You can also send alerts to patrons in HTML or text emails.

Something I wish they would have changed:
One thing that hasn't changed is Ovid's clunky Citation Manager which is renamed as Results Manager. Most new users have trouble figuring out what that is for and why they should use it. It is just not really as intuitive as PubMed's method of saving, emailing, etc. Equally disappointing is that Ovid does not give you the option to email the results in HTML format. Why is that frustrating? If you choose to email PubMed results in HTML format, you are able to preserve the links to the full text, related articles, books, and LinkOut. That way your patron can easily click on the full text of an article they want from the citations you sent them. With Ovid's text only email option your patrons still must contact you or go online and find the full text.

Why Ovid went so far to include the ability to have HTML emails in alerts but did not include it in the Results Manager is mind boggling and poor planning.
