Cochrane Library
I've recently had a query from a Sports Therapy student about accessing the Cochrane Library. The Cochrane Library (which offers free online access) contains high-quality, independent evidence to inform healthcare decision-making. It includes reliable evidence from Cochrane and other systematic reviews, clinical trials, and more. Cochrane reviews bring you the combined results of the world’s best medical research studies. The good news is that you can access this resource via Athens and the WileyInterScience database. Select the Wiley database from the list of Athens resources, type in 'cochrane library', click on the 'publication titles' option and 'go' and you will then have access to this useful resource.
