How to use Medline via OVID
Limiting

In many databases a search can be refined or narrowed by limiting a search to a range of set criteria. In OVID click on the "Limit" icon on the Main Search Page for a display of the options. The Main Search page also lists some of the main options.

For Medline these include limiting the search to records:

• with Full Text Available
• from the Latest Update only
• in English (Monash holds relatively few non-English language journals)
• about Human subjects
• Review for a geneal overview of a topic

For more detail on these and other options, see the help provided by the database.
