“In the nonstop tsunami of global information,
librarians provide us with floaties and teach us how to swim.”

Linton Weeks, Washington Post, Jan. 13 2001


resources for ramadan

There is lots of information out there for health professionals seeking to support patients during Ramadan. The Library has added some resources to the Library Intranet page , including a link to a “live” Medline search which will provide users with up-to-date references on the topic.  

rehabilitation reference center

Rehabilitation Reference Center is now on trial at Austin Health until December 2010. Links are available from the Library websites. (Access is seamlessly available onsite at Austin Health, users outside need to authenticate via Library Barcode no. and PIN). Rehabilitation Reference Center is an evidence-based clinical reference tool for use by rehabilitation clinicians at the point-of-care . It includes clinical reviews for diseases and conditions; assessment tools and therapeutic interventions; guidelines; research instruments; exercise images; and patient education handouts.
