Rehabilitation Reference Center

Abstract

The Rehabilitation Reference Center (RRC) database brings together a variety of clinical resources, such as clinical reviews, drug information, patient education handouts, exercise images, research instrument information, and e-book chapters tailored for rehabilitation professionals and students, especially those in physical therapy and occupational therapy. This relatively small but current and full-text document collection is available exclusively from EBSCO and can be searched in tandem with other EBSCO subscription resources, making it easier to search and browse. Many of RRC's clinical reviews are also continuing education units (CEUs) and are available for physical therapists and occupational therapists. The collection could be improved by the continual addition of more clinical resources to support the diversity of rehabilitation topics for educators’ and practitioners’ needs. RRC is recommended for libraries supporting small to medium physical therapy and occupational therapy undergraduate and graduate programs or to complement coverage in other rehabilitation-related subscription resources.
