It's beginning to look a lot like... 'image.'

This is the reality for screen reader users when alt text isn’t added. By describing your images (especially those snowy snaps!), you ensure that everyone can enjoy and be included.

What actually is resilience? We're looking at this in our webinar today on #WorldKindnessDay - here's what it means:-

The ability to recover, adapt, and thrive through adversity.

It's not "bouncing back" or "pushing through", especially when it's a painful or particularly stressful life moment.

#MedLibs #ExpertSearchers any idea why results with the publication type Review in Ovid Medline results are exporting to Excel with a blank title and EP? They do seem to be complete in the Ovid record itself.
