PsycINFO changes
Posted by Bruce Stoffel on April 1, 2009
Ovid SP has made a few minor changes to our PsycINFO search screen in an attempt to improve our search experience.
Brief records display:
This has been reformatted to make it easier to distinguish fields. The previous format ran all fields together.
Publication year limit:
Over the years many patrons have expressed annoyance with the array of years in the publication year limiter … the years in the lower entry of the year range were arrayed from lowest to highest and the years in the higher entry of the range were arrayed from highest to lowest. This has been changed. Both ranges are now arrayed from highest year to lowest year.
Search history, actions:
Entries in the Actions column of the search history now includes a More button to expedite deleting and saving searches (as well as creating auto alerts and RSS feeds).
Results manager:
We now have the option of designating specific fields to be printed, mailed, or exported. We also have the option of including a link to each record when we print, mail, or export.
Record display:
Highlighting of search terms has been improved.
I welcome your feedback on these changes as well as suggestions of others you would like OvidSP to make.
