>The Library of The Royal College of Surgeons of England has created some
new
>web pages. These pages list a number of resources which are intended to
help
>surgeons practise evidence based surgery. Some of these resources include:
>
> - A listing of the 300+ journal titles held by the Library together with
>links to the Internet home pages of many of these journals(and therefore,
in
>many cases, providing current content pages, full text articles, etc)
> - Similar links to the most frequently used journals in the different
>categories of surgery (based on the Science Citation Index)
> - Links to free medical databases including Medline
> - Listing of Cochrane Systematic Reviews relevant to surgery
> - Details of guidelines and reports published by the RCS and other
surgical
>bodies / societies
> - Links to internet resources relevant to evidence based surgery
> - Details of the many email discussion groups open to surgeons
>
>These pages have been created for surgeons and the related medical
>community. However if you are a Fellow or Member of The Royal College of
>Surgeons of England you can take advantage of the Library-Fellow privileges
>e.g. if you see a reference to an  article or review on these pages or link
>pages we can send you (by post or fax) the full article / review. This
>service is only available to Fellows of the RCS and names will be checked
>with the Fellowship list when a request is made.
>
>These pages are currently in draft form. The visual appearance will change
>over time but the links will probably remain the same. Have a look at
>http://www.rcseng.ac.uk/library/ebs.htm
