Ovid MEDLINE Link Update

The Ovid MEDLINE link on our database list will now take you directly to the Advanced Search tab for the Ovid MEDLINE database with all MEDLINE content from 1946 – present. 

The Map Term to Subject Heading box is selected by default to help you utilize the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) terms used to index the articles in this database. You can view Ovid video training on Subject mapping (4:32 min) for more assistance.
