To Ovid CINAHL experts:
We have a problem with CINAHL whereby the button bar does not appear at t=
he
bottom of the mapping window, because it is obscured by the taskbar. Thi=
s
also occurs on the broader and narrower headings screen.
I only found this quite by chance - I didn't know there was a button bar
and thought the instruction to choose the textword option meant you had t=
o
go back to the search screen and start from there. Similarly I had not
worked out how to explain to users how to explode terms.
Ovid's advice is to set the taskbar to autohide, but unless you are very
deft with a mouse, it quite often pops back as you're about to click on a
button.
Has anyone found another way round the problem?. It seems to me just a
question of resizing the display windows, which you can do yourself each
time you search, but again, I don't think you can expect unsupervised use=
rs
to fiddle like that. At least it has made us realise why we were findin=
g
the database so difficult to explain to users.
