Changes to EMBASE & PsycINFO

The following OVID databases have just been upgraded and whilst some of the same functionality remains, you'll notice several changes:

• Embase
• IBSS (International Bibliography of the Social Sciences)
• PsycINFO

To do a basic search in any of these, I'd now recommend you click on the furthest tab which is Advanced OVID Search (or in PsycINFO, OVID Syntax). If you're doing a standard keyword search, remember to deselect map to subvect heading.

Help with using the new interface is available via the Database Field Guide and Help sections of each database.

I've also helped produce guides to the new version of EMBASE and PsycINFO. You might like to refer to these guides if you use IBSS as it shares much of the same functionality. You can also contact me for advice.
