JBI connect - new resource

We would like to draw your attention to a new resource available on the e-Library JBI COnNECT.

From the Joanna Briggs Institute, JBI COnNECT (Clinical Online Network of Evidence for Care and Therapeutics) is an online web-based facility that provides users with resources and tools to search, appraise, summarise, embed, utilise and evaluate evidence-based information. JBI COnNECT is designed to meet the needs of service providers, health professionals and consumers with the skills and resources to enhance care by connecting the best available international evidence to the point-of-care. JBI COnNECT is an online gateway to a collection of evidence-based resources and tools designed to assist in the clinical decision-making process.

You can access this resource from the Quicklinks area of the e-Library or directly at http://www.elib.scot.nhs.uk/portal/elib/security/JBIReferer.aspx using your Athens username and password.

If you are promoting this resource to your users, we would suggest that you particularly target nurses, midwives and AHP's as these are the primary audiences for JBI.
