What's new? All Canadians now have one-click access to The Cochrane Library! And we've got highlights of Issue 2 with links to the Library.
Canadians are one click away from the best available evidence on which health treatments work, which ones don’t, and which may cause harm. As of April 15, everyone in Canada with Internet access will be able to view the full content of The Cochrane Library, which provides evaluations of health treatments.
This nine-month pilot project provides a national subscription for Canadians to have access to the wealth of information in The Cochrane Library at www.thecochranelibrary.com. Until now, The Cochrane Library has only been available to some Canadians through a patchwork of networks and libraries across the country. Listen here for our podcast announcement by the Director of the Canadian Cochrane Network and Centre, Dr Jeremy Grimshaw.
