I've had a few emails asking if I was successful or not, so I thought I would reply to the list.  Everyone who responded to me who was accessing through Ovid could only get the 2009 version like I did.  The people who could actually get to the full text of the 2006 version of this article were accessing through Wiley.  I don't know if this is true for just withdrawn versions or for all older versions of articles.  I don't have much experience in this area.  My Ovid rep is out of the office this week.  I hope to get some more details when she comes back.

Hope this helps!

Terri

I hope someone on the list can help me with a question I have about accessing Cochrane reviews.  I have a student who searched on Ovid for a Cochrane review called "Nasal decongestants for the common cold" by David Taverner and G. Jenny Latte.  The only thing that comes up is the 2009 updated version.  The problem is that the 2009 update has been withdrawn, so what the student needs is the 2006 version.  Is there any way to get to the full-text of these prior versions on Ovid?  I’ve tried searching by title and author, but can only retrieve the 2009 version.  The Cochrane Library website seems to have the previous versions, but obviously for a fee.

Thanks in advance to anyone who can help on this!
