The Cochrane Library
Update Software has been associated with The Cochrane Library since the beginning, and we are proud of our role in the creation and development of the Library and the Cochrane Collaboration's content management systems. This role was described as "an outstanding contribution to the Cochrane Collaboration" in a recent issue of their newsletter
(http://www.cochrane.org/newslett/ccnews32_lowres2.pdf).
For a publication history of The Cochrane Library, see:
Starr M, Chalmers I. The evolution of The Cochrane Library, 1988-2003.
This article documents the evolution of The Cochrane Library and its predecessors and shows how the revolutionary structure of those first publications remains important today (also available as a PDF document )
The
final issue of Update Software's CD-ROM version of The Cochrane
Library was published in July 2005. Wiley and Sons, who took over publication of the Internet version
of The Cochrane Library at the beginning of 2005, is now also responsible for the CD
version.

en español, as well as The
WHO Reproductive Health Library, The

designed to help get evidence into practice.
