+ OvidSP: A Long-Promised Search Platform Arrives
By Barbara Quint
Since the acquisition of SilverPlatter Information by Wolters Kluwer Health (www.wkhealth.com) in 2001 and the subsequent merging with Ovid Technologies (www.ovid.com), customers and industry observers have awaited a new search platform that would merge the best of both systems along with new features. OvidSP has now arrived. The new service will replace Ovid Web Gateway, scheduled for discontinuance in early February 2008, and then SilverPlatter WEBSPIRS sometime in 1Q 2009. Designed to serve the needs of end-user and librarian searchers, OvidSP supports a simplified basic search and tags to reach fielded searches, as well as bridges to Ovid Classic and SilverPlatter Classic command line syntaxes. First reactions to the new interface by clients have been positive with some reservations, but questions remain as to whether the new platform has enough appeal to counter market challenges by competitors.
