New CINAHL Interface

CINAHL from Ovid will no longer be available in 2009.  Starting in January 2009 CINAHL will only be available from EBSCO.  Don’t worry!  Many of the CINAHL search tools you’ve grown to like will still be available:  Explode, Scope notes, Search History, and Saved Searches.

Scope notes are brief definitions for subject headings.  In Ovid you could look at them by clicking on the blue I.  In EBSCO just click on the word “Scope.”

Below are some differences and how they were identified in Ovid.
