Time Magazine Archive

It has been out for awhile, but you may not have heard that Time Magazine offers its archive online from 1923 to 2006 for free. That's right - for free. It looks like it is based on advertising, so I don't know if this will continue, but it is a great online source that won't readily come up in a simple Google or Yahoo search. You can also browse by covers. A great source for older material.

Evidence Based Nursing

This product from Ebsco (I'll call it a knowledge base for the lack of a better description) has been available, but not with a direct link. You're not sure what "Evidence Based Nursing" is? Well, here is the description.

Evidence-Based Complementary Medicine contains evidence-based information on herbs and natural remedies and the conditions they may be used to treat, as well as known or suspected drug interactions. The guide addresses the amount and type of evidence to support use of these herbs and supplements, as well as how patients may be using them regardless of current evidence.

However, don't become to enamored with this - Ebsco is planning on replacing it this summer with a bigger and better product, with a product title that better describes the contents. So, if you are interested, go on to Evidence Based Nursing.
