COCHRANE DATABASES - The Cochrane Database Collection at Young Library consists of 4 databases:
These databases are cutting edge research but should be used cautiously. Many of the articles will require an Interlibrary Loan and many of them are reviews of several current experiments that are occurring in a specific time frame. They can be an excellent way of locating several articles on the same topic. Cochrane Databases mine the internet for citations. They are not restricted to particular publications. This means that there is no title list that is available.
