What is an OVID database?

Many databases can be accessed using the same software. One common piece of software is OVID. OVID databases collectively cover a range of disciplines. The cross-disciplinary nature of much research necessitates searching for relevant information across traditional discipline boundaries.

Detailed descriptions of the databases contained within OVID are presented in the menu which comes up after logging on to OVID. It provides access to databases in the following fields: medicine, science, nursing, economics, information technology and engineering.

Many useful databases are not available through OVID and you should investigate these too.
