The Ovid database provider is rolling out a new interface, OvidSP. Some AskAway institutions have already switched over to the new interface; the rest will be switching in the next few weeks.
On Wednesday, January 23rd, at 2:15pm, there will be a Brown bag presentation called "Introduction to OvidSP". I'll be going over some of the features of the new interface.
An email with the link to the presentation was sent out via the listserv on Mon, Jan 14th.

Next week's Brown-bag presentation will be on the topic: Logout Errors.
These errors can mean that the service will be on all night, so I'll be going over:
1. How to recognise a colleague's logout error
2. How to prevent/fix your own logout errors
