Ovid Gateway to OvidSP Transition
	

Dear Ovid Customer, 

There are less than 2 weeks to go until Ovid Gateway retires! So what
exactly will happen and when? 

To ensure that customers in every global region will have access to
OvidSP on the morning of Monday, February 4th, 2008, all Ovid Gateway
customers will be automatically directed to OvidSP on Sunday, February
3, 2008 at 3:30pm EST (8:30pm GMT). Click here
<http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/timeanddate805896/?1424Z06R5DD>  for a
World Time Zone converter to check the time for your local area. If you
or one of your users is in a Gateway session at the time of the
switchover, your session will continue uninterrupted until you log out
or your session times out. 

The timing was selected after evaluating worldwide system usage to
identify a specific time that minimizes the impact to user workflow and
ensures that all users and administrators will be transitioned to the
new platform by the morning of Monday, February 4, 2008 - with the start
of business in the Asia Pacific region. 

After transition, Ovid Web Gateway will no longer be accessible. All
user settings, jumpstarts, and alerts will remain intact and be fully
functional in the new platform (Ovid Web Gateway Jumpstart URLs will
automatically re-direct to OvidSP). Please be sure to update your
bookmarks to include: http://ovidsp.ovid.com
<http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/ovid813223/?1424Z06R5DD> .

IMPORTANT NOTE: Firewall, Proxy, and E-mail Server Settings
Click here <http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/ovid813224/?1424Z06R5DD>
for important information on updating your settings. Customers using a
proxy server such as EZproxy will need to modify their proxy settings
prior to the transition to the new platform. Instructions specific to
EZproxy can be found here
<http://www.responsetrack.net/lnk/usefulutilities813221/?1424Z06R5DD> .
