OvidSP: Things to Remember…
Basic Search tab– Search preference is for using natural language or
entering a full query– Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a ‘quick and
relevant’ search - designed to find the relevant results, not all results
Anything less than a 4 star result is probably not relevant so do NOT get caught up in the number or results returned (we only bring back a target of 500)
– Beyond a search for the Novice/Google user, view it as another tool you have to help you with your daily job
Great for Validation Great for Discovery Better Multi-file Searching
