Announcements and featured resources for library users of Affinity Health System Intranet.

The Cochrane Library is a mainstay of Evidence-based Practice. Cochrane Reviews are considered the 'Gold Standard' for high-quality systematic reviews and are used to support health care decisions. The Cochrane Library is produced by The Cochrane Collaboration, a group of clinicians, consumers, and researchers around the world.
We recently changed our access to The Cochrane Library. No longer do we get it through Ovid’s Evidence-based Medicine Reviews. Now we get it directly through Wiley, the publisher who owns the content. We believe this will make it easier for staff to find and use Cochrane Reviews because it will be easier to get to the full-text.
The Links on the Library web pages have been updated. The links to Cochrane Reviews should also work if you are searching PubMed or Clinical Queries or even Google Scholar -- as long as you are using an Affinity computer. Access is IP-authenticated, so no usernames or passwords needed.
