The Cochrane Library

The Cochrane Library is a regularly updated electronic library containing information about evidence-based medicine. The information contained in this program is the work of the Cochrane Collaboratory as well as others interested in evidence-based medicine. Due to rapid change, The Cochrane Library is published quarterly with each release completely replacing the previous. This edition of the program consists of four main databases: the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), the Database of Abstracts of Reviews of Effectiveness (DARE), the Cochrane Controlled Trials Register (CCTR), and the Cochrane Review Methodology Database (CRMD). In addition to the four databases, this program also contains files of information on the various contributors to The Cochrane Library.
