Overview

Comments
We have a good working relationship with OVID over the years.  There has been stability with our rep, Tom Nufer, for a great number of years.  Wolters Kleuwer owns UpToDate  but they operate seperatly from OVID.  Though I (LZ) do not use the search interface as much as Dan and Sonya for searching, most of the items in my literature searches default to OVID's full text Journal collection.  I (LZ) am not a fan of the eBooks in OVID as many of them are dated.

Pricing
We purchase OVID through the consortium.  Purchases are made at 2 different points of the year, near the middle and end of the year. 
Total invoice: $271,217.85
Renewal dates
OVID Databases - June 2020
OVID Journals - December 2019

Special steps for renewal / cancelation
This resource is purchased through the consortium.  The lower pricing that we receive for these products was grandfathered in due to the long term relationship we have had with OVID.  If we cancel any components and later wish to have one of those components back, we will be quoted the higher current price rather than our grandfathered price.

Usage, Etc.

Primary Audience
The use of OVID is spread across clinical staff.  It is our most robust source of EBP information. Wolters Kluwer also owns LIppencott Williams & Wilkins, a large publisher of medical information, so OVID allows us access to a great amount of their content.

How OVID is utilized by the INTEGRIS Medical Library
I (SP) use OVID Medline as my primary searching tool. Many of the full text journals are heavily used, such as Stroke. The evidence based databases, such as Cochrane’s, are consulted when we are asked by patrons to include that as part of their search. JBI is also used for nursing information. In my experience HAPI, AMED, Nursing@Ovid, and Emcare are less heavily used. Ebsco’s CINAHL is a more heavily used nursing database.

 

 

Alternatives to Current Access

Suggestions

  • Is this resource or its contents duplicated?
    • There is almost no duplication in OVID resources across other platforms.  OVID is one-of-a-kind in its functions.
  • Can it be purchased in components
    • Yes, we are able to mix and match the components that work best for us. 
    • The full text journal are purchased in packages, so we would be able to keep some packages and not renew others.
  • Other purchase options
    • We could consider not renewing some of OVID's nursing content and keep CINAHL
