Canadian Health Research Collection

June 2011 Update
What is the Canadian Health Research Collection?  

 

The CHRC is an online service for academic and special libraries, providing a curated and regularly updated collection of significant monographs, in both English and French, from Canadian research institutes, government agencies and university centres in the field of health and medical research.

 

Access is universal, perpetual, and available equally to all library users in a system or institution, regardless of location. Any item in the collection is available to all users simultaneously, and sophisticated search tools allow for quick location of items of interest.

 

This newsletter offers a sampling of key titles in the service. Each hyperlink in the list on the right will take you to the title as displayed in the   

CHRC Preview Site 

And the "Access PDF" link will take you to the document itself; this is an additional service provided to all CHRC subscribers. 

 

The Preview Site displays only the first few pages of each title; IP authentication is required for full document viewing. But the search features are active to demonstrate the way in which a user would interact with the collection.

 

We hope this brief introduction will encourage you to explore CHRC further.
