Administrators and librarians can configure a single search box on the portal or create a more elaborate interface—navigable from the Ovid platform—with basic searching, advanced searching, and A-Z searching of institutional holdings. They can add their library’s branding, as well as blogs, RSS and Twitter feeds, a ‘bookshelf’, favorite journals, ‘widgets’ for searching specific resources, and links to key Ovid resources. Expand sections and change hyperlinks and subject headings!
