Visitors Are Invited to Attend Formal Presentations Describing These
Initiatives in More Detail in Ovid's Booth, #512

NEW YORK, Dec. 1 /PRNewswire/ -- Ovid, part of Wolters Kluwer Health and a
global leader in the development and delivery of customizable electronic
research information for the medical, scientific and academic markets, will be
showcasing recent enhancements to Ovid Universal Search, our first-to-market
cross-platform search solution, and the implementation of a new psychology
lexicon, based on the American Psychological Association's (APA's) Thesaurus of
Psychological Index Terms, at this year's Online Information conference, which
is being held beginning today through December 3rd at London's Olympia
exhibition center. Conference attendees can also learn more about Nursing@Ovid,
as well as new content offerings. Ovid is exhibiting at Booth #512.



"We're pleased to participate at Online Information to share with key customers
and publishing partners the evolution of our search platform focused on
improving user productivity and efficiencies in accessing full text to make
important decisions," said Karen Abramson, President & CEO of Wolters Kluwer
Health Medical Research. "We're delighted to showcase at Online this year
enhancements to Ovid Universal Search as well as exciting developments in our
lexicon development with the APA thesaurus that delivers a more comprehensive
set of results -- adding tremendous value to our complete psychology offering on
OvidSP."



Ovid Universal Search enables users to search all of their institution's
subscribed content, regardless of whether that content is available via OvidSP
or other content aggregators. Users can retrieve and manage their OvidSP and
non-OvidSP (Universal Search) results within the OvidSP interface. The latest
enhancements, deployed November 16th, are designed to improve navigation and
customization of Universal Search results, and enable users to:



    --  View all retrieved Universal Search records in one consolidated results
        set
    --  De-duplicate Universal Search results
    --  Easily identify duplicates to view their research trail
    --  Link to full text from Universal Search results (when available)
    --  Use Search Aid functionality for Universal Search results
    --  Request additional Universal Search results beyond those already
        retrieved in the initial set


Ovid's new proprietary Psychology lexicon combines the American Psychological
Association's (APA) robust Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms with the
Natural Language Processing (NLP) power of OvidSP's Basic Search. NLP's term
expansion functionality broadens a user's search query when searching the APA
databases of PsycINFO®, PsycCRITIQUES®, PsycBOOKS®, PsycARTICLES®, and
PsycEXTRA® to include related terms and synonyms, delivering a more
comprehensive set of results than any other platform.



Attendees are invited to attend 15-minute presentations in Ovid's Booth (#512)
on Ovid Universal Search and the new Psychology lexicon. A third in-booth
presentation updating attendees on Nursing@Ovid, Ovid's powerful nursing and
allied health portal, is also scheduled. Ovid representatives will also be on
hand to discuss the latest content acquisitions, including ebooks from the Royal
Society of Chemistry, Oxford University Press, and Ovid's sister company
Lippincott Williams & Wilkins (LWW), as well as journals from CIG Media, AHC
Media, and Springer Publishing.
