Ovid Journals on Steroids

ITI Bloggers December 1st, 2005

Every once in a while I get a press release I really don’t understand. I like to blame it on the company issuing the release, but that’s not always the case. Take Ovid and QUOSA teaming up. I just didn’t get it. This afternoon I went by the stand and, luckily, Andrew Carver from Quosa was available to explain things to me. It’s an information management tool that pulls together search results from Ovid, grabs full text, adds in full text from other journals, plunks the whole thing on your hard drive and lets users search more efficiently through the full text. It also works in conjunction with EndNote and Reference Manager. As my Ovid contact further explained, “It’s Ovid Journals on Steroids.”
