Register Before you start, make sure you register for both CKN and the Queensland Health Libraries Network. Registration must be done on a workplace based computer (not a personal device). Once completed, you have 24/7 access from any internet connected device. |

CKN provides access to a range of databases (registration required).
If you are starting on a new topic, refer to the Queensland Health Libraries Subject Guides.
