Multimedia Resources Available from the Cochrane Library

As a library user you may be aware that Sladen Library provides access to the Cochrane Library evidence-based reviews, but did you also know the Cochrane Collaboration provides podcasts discussing select reviews?  You can download podcasts and browse the list of topics covered at the website http://www.cochrane.org/podcasts.

Cochrane has also just launched the Cochrane Journal Club.  Cochrane Journal Club takes a key article and expands it with background information, podcasts, powerpoint slides of key figures and tables, and discussion questions. This resource is intended to help clinicians prepare an article for presentation at journal clubs, etc.  Visit the Cochrane Journal Club at http://www.cochranejournalclub.com/.  

If you have any questions about searching Cochrane, please contact the library.

Search Alert Service

One of the services that the Sladen Library offers is setting up a search alert. An alert is a saved search that notifies you of new citations on your topic of interest each time the database the search is saved in is updated. Alerts can be established in PubMed, Ovid Medline, PsycInfo, and CINAHL. An alert can be requested online by using the Literature Request Form http://www.henryfordconnect.com/sladen.cfm?id=7&eformid=14 or by contacting Gina Hug, MILS, at 313-916-5336 or ghug1@hfhs.org.
