OVID journals collection

Since last year a number of you have reported not being able to access certain titles via OVID where previously we did have access. The reason for this is that the publisher of these titles Blackwells has merged with the publisher Wiley and as a result this has affected access to a number of titles from our Journals@OVIDcollection.

OVID have informed me that they have asked the publisher to review this access so that we get some consitency on what we are entitled to through our subscription and we will also be meeting with OVID to discuss this matter further.

Please report any titles that you come across as being available on the e-Library but then not providing full-text when you access the OVID interface to derek.boyle@nes.scot.nhs.uk
