Dear Jennifer The NHS National Core Content has a discussion list about the core content resources that you are welcome to join if you wish. I am also happy to help you personally with information about the Dialog Datastar interface that the NHS uses. On your sepecific enquiry Dialog Datastar does allow you to download records into Reference Manager as one of the options on the Titles page (select output format as researchsoft). We will be running more online training in September 2005 which will be advertised on the core content list if you want to learn more, Regards Scott Gibbens NHS National Core Content Manager On Tue, 7 Jun 2005 10:54:20 +0100, Jennifer Forth <[log in to unmask]> wrote: >We currently do all our searching of Medline using the OVID interface. >However we may soon be loosing our access to OVID and would have to rely >on either PubMed or Dialog (or a combination of the 2!) for our >searching.
