To send a copy of an Ovid database (e.g. MEDLINE ALL, Embase, PsycINFO) search history to your Subject Librarian, run your search, then click Share Search History and use one of the available sharing options.

Clicking Copy Search History Details will enable you to copy and paste your search history into an email, Word document etc.

Clicking Copy Search History Link will generate a link to your search history in Ovid that your Subject Librarian can rerun and, if required, edit.

These options are preferable to sharing a screenshot of your Ovid search history with your Subject Librarian, as the screenshot may be too small for all lines/elements of your search to be visible.

Any questions? Please contact your Subject Librarian.
