If you're an Occupational Therapist or a Physiotherapist, I'm sure you already know about these free databases, developed in Australia. But just in case you don't, or for those in related professions who might find them useful, here's the lowdown...
PEDro, developed in the University of Sydney, has been around for many years now. It's aim is "to give rapid access to bibliographic details and abstracts of randomised controlled trials, systematic reviews and evidence-based clinical practice guidelines in physiotherapy."
OTseeker is relatively new, only beginning in 2002. The compilers have adapted the guidelines and methods used by PEDro to branch into the Occupational Therapy field and are based in the University of Queensland and the University of Western Sydney.
