Cochrane Library down

UPDATE: The Cloudflare issue has been resolved. We are keeping the OpenAthens link on our Electronic Resources page, but Clinical Faculty can use the old proxied link to access: https://proxy.westernu.edu/login?url=https://www.cochranelibrary.com/advanced-search. 7/2/25 10:30am

Cochrane Library is currently experiencing a Cloudflare error and is inaccessible via the proxy server both on and off campus. We have updated the link on the Electronic Resources page to go through OpenAthens. The provider is aware of the issue and is currently working on a solution. We will update this blog when access has been restored via the proxy server.
