Looking for PABC members to test drive the New Rehabilitation Reference Center from EBSCO

EBSCO has recently launched the Rehabilitation Reference Center (RRC), an evidence-based point-of-care reference tool for rehabilitation clinicians. RRC content includes clinical reviews (summaries on rehabilitation topics incorporating the best available evidence), research instruments, drug information, exercise images, key reference handbooks, practice guidelines, patient education resources, as well as rehab news and clinical updates.

Learn more by watching this brief tutorial: http://support.ebsco.com/training/flash_videos/RRC.html

Access to RRC is on a trial basis only. Unlike other PABC e-library databases, this resource is not part of the eHLBC consortium, and is therefore not listed on the PABC Library Services website. Access will be given to interested PABC members only. Please contact me at librarian@bcphysio.org for login information.

I’ll be taking this database for a spin in the coming weeks and will blog about it further, but would certainly appreciate some feedback from a physiotherapist perspective. Test drive it now!
