Free Access to The Cochrane Library

The Canadian Cochrane Network and Centre announced on April 15th that everyone in Canada is now able to access the full contents of the Cochrane Library. http://www.media.uottawa.ca/mediaroom/news-details_1661.html

This is a pilot project. From the announcement:

"The Canadian Cochrane Network and Centre, in partnership with the Canadian Health Libraries Association, has successfully secured a national license to The Cochrane Library. In essence, the license provides a subscription for every Canadian with access to the Internet to benefit from the immense volume of health information found in The Cochrane Library. Everybody will be one click away from the best available evidence on the effectiveness of treatment procedures including which ones may be harmful."
