New Public Health Library resources

The IU School of Public Health-Bloomington Library has added three major new library online resources to the collections, accessible both on or off campus.

Rehabilitation Therapy in Video

This resource offers a large streaming video resource for the study of occupational therapy, physical/physiotherapy, and speech-language pathology. The collection allows students and faculty to easily find, cite, and share footage of top clinicians and academics explaining the underlying anatomical and neurological issues in specific patient populations, while demonstrating effective techniques and methods for their treatment. All of the video has been thoroughly indexed to allow users to search and filter content by patient details, therapist specialization, treatment method, presenting problem, and more.

Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of Health, Illness, Behavior, and Society

This is the first comprehensive, interdisciplinary, and international reference work on all aspects of the social scientific study of health and illness.

UptoDate

Evidence-based clinical decision support resource, UpToDate is updated daily following a continual comprehensive review of peer-reviewed journals, clinical databases and other resources (see the Evidence section for a detailed list). Topics in UpToDate are revised whenever important new information is published.
