OVID databases will no longer work for pre-7.0 Netscape.

To connect toBiological and Agricultural Index with Search Saving Capabilities.

Use of OVID Saved Searches is explained here.

Biological and Agricultural Index allows three options for saving searches: Permanent, Temporary, and Auto Alert (SDI). Saving searches allows you to store search sets that have been created during the current search session. You can then log off and search at a later time without having to retype each search set. Permanent and Temporary (24 hours) saved searches must be run manually with the output provided on the screen. Auto-Alert SDI saved searches will be run automatically whenever the database is updated (weekly) with the output being emailed to the designated recipient. Users must identify themselves when logging into Biological and Agricultural Index in order to establish, edit, or execute saved searches. The login screen can be accessed through this page.

• You'd like to run the search again after the database is updated so that you can retrieve the latest documents on your topic.
• You need to step away from your computer for a moment and don't want to lose your search history if you exceed Ovid's time-out limit.
• You will be exiting your Web browser to work in other applications, but want to log in again later and pick up where you left off.
• Your search history is long and complex, and you do not want to retype it if your session were to end abruptly.
• You'd like to continue your search later with a fresh point of view.
You want to set up an AutoAlert (SDI) profile that the system administrator will run for you automatically.
