Hello,
I’ve amended the announcement to reflect information Carol Cooke posted to the list:
UpToDate Database Goes Province Wide
What is it? UpToDate is a health care resource that includes the latest evidence with specific practical recommendations for diagnosis and treatment covering primary care, subspecialty internal medicine, ob/gyn, general surgery and paediatrics.
Who will access it? Our license has been expanded to allow all health care providers in the province of Manitoba access.
Where can I find info about it? You may be asked about UpToDate. The following information has been prepared by Health Sciences Libraries for people currently using or who are new to UpToDate:
HSL LibGuide: https://healthlibrarynews.wordpress.com/2016/01/13/uptodate-available-now-to...
Where can I refer clients to for more information? You will need to ask if they are located within or outside Winnipeg and refer them as follows:
· Inside Winnipeg: healthlibrary@umanitoba.ca
· Outside Winnipeg: mhiknet@umanitoba.ca
