MAPPING
Screen 1 of 4
I
have learned that using Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) is
the most effective approach for searching MEDLINE.
 How
do I know what MeSH term(s) to use?
 MEDLINE
automatically helps you select the best Medical Subject
Heading(s).
If
you do not know the proper MeSH term to use, the Ovid system
has a unique feature called "mapping" which
will help you. Type in your word or phrase and Ovid will
automatically try
to match it with an appropriate MeSH term.
