Understanding the Cochrane Library

Abstract

The NCDDR is charged with assisting NIDRR-funded researchers to improve the quality of their design and outcomes so that more NIDRR-funded research makes its way into the larger body of research evidence as identified through systematic reviews. To achieve this aim the NCDDR is providing a new service for NIDRR-funded researchers: online access to The Cochrane Library, free-of-charge.

Denine Tilery of Wiley InterScience will describe:

The aim, goals and structure of The Cochrane Collaboration.
Why systematic reviews are an increasingly important source of evidence of the effects of healthcare.
How to browse systematic reviews and protocols by topic, subject or Collaborative Review Group.
How to use the 'My Profile' feature to save your MeSH and Advanced searches.

The complete ILRU Web site was developed with support from grants from the Department of Education. However, its contents and the opinions expressed do not necessarily represent the policy of the Department of Education, and no endorsement by the Department should be assumed. ILRU is a program of TIRR (The Institute for Rehabilitation and Research), a nationally recognized medical rehabilitation facility for persons with disabilities.
