Evidence based child health (eJournal)

Evidence-Based Child Health: A Cochrane Review Journal will present new or substantively updated systematic literature reviews from The Cochrane Library that are relevant to child health. These reviews will be of interest to practitioners, parents, patients, and other child health advocates. The aim of the journal is to allow readers to inform their clinical decision-making and policy development with the highest-quality research evidence available. Each issue of Evidence-Based Child Health will highlight 4-6 Cochrane reviews on topics that are controversial, that recommend a change in practice, or for which particularly strong evidence exists. These reviews will be fully published in the journal, accompanied by their structured abstract. An expert commentary or editorial will accompany 2-3 key reviews that deserve particular attention. To promote greater appeal to parents, patients, and policy makers, concise, easily understood and interesting synopses will also accompany each key review.

Found exactly the book you need for your research? Or maybe just one you really like? Want to get a copy for yourself?

We've added a new feature to the library's catalogue to make it easy. When you click on a title in the library catalogue, take a good look at that Item Details window. Near the bottom you'll find a "Buy from Amazon.com" button. Click it, and you'll be taken directly to that book in Amazon. From there, you have all the usual Amazon options. Use the library's copy or get your own: the choice is yours!

Over the past year, we've been working on improving access to e-Resources on the library home page. As a result of these changes, as well as the implementation of our new catalogue interface, the e-Resources page has now been discontinued.

The search options on the library home page provide access to all the e-Resources you should need!
