' web review

Wolters Kluwer Health is a big player in delivering custom electronic research data for the academic, healthcare and medical sectors. So when the company updated its recently launched OvidSP precision search and discovery platform, promising new features and all-important functionality, it was clearly worthwhile taking a look.

The upgraded site supports the downloading of MARC records for all the books and journals subscribed to within your particular package, and the addition of an annotation exports feature allows these to be exported to a bibliographic citation manager.

For non-English language speakers, the update sees the start of the process of introducing interface support in local languages, including French, German and Spanish.

Finally, there are numerous little tweaks designed to improve the interface generally, all of which have been based on the workflow of end-users. Although this might not sound like much, when you put it all together and experience it within the context of using OvidSP, it really does make a huge difference.
