8. OvidSP: Things to Remember…  Basic Search tab –Search preference is for using natural language or entering a full query –Natural Language Processing (NLP) is a ‘quick and relevant’ search - designed to find the relevant results, not all results  Anything less than a 4 star result is probably not relevant so do NOT get caught up in the number or results returned (we only bring back a target of 500) –Beyond a search for the Novice/Google user, view it as another tool you have to help you with your daily job  Great for Validation  Great for Discovery  Better Multi-file Searching  Find More at: http://resourcecenter.ovid.com
