The first step of our major renovation project will be to remove most of the first floor current journals shelving. These shelves will soon be dismantled, opening the area for more public seating. Please bear with us as this process will be noisy. Soon, we will have new, comfortable furniture to place there.
You may also notice that many of the older books and journals are being relocated to the HAM-TMC Library's Historical Research Center. These items are becoming fragile and require a more stable environment. By moving older items, we will be able to make more space available for clients to use individually or collaboratively.
If you have any questions or comments, please contact Deborah Halsted at www.deborah.halsted@exch.library.tmc.edu or 713.799.7163.
Quality ratings of randomized controlled trials are available to help the user judge the quality and usefulness of these trials in clinical decision-making.
PEDro is maintained by the Centre for Evidence-Based Physiotherapy located at the School of Physiotherapy at the University of Sydney. PEDro is updated monthly.
To access PEDro go to the Library web site, click on databases and type PEDro in the search box.
