Aug 19, 2010 at 22:50 comment added Robert Bruner The likely map would go the other way: into the bar resolution. May uses this to some effect in the May ss computing the cohomology of the Steenrod algebra. ('some' means 'I don't remember exactly how useful this is, but there must have been some point to it.')
Aug 19, 2010 at 19:18 comment added Sean Tilson I would recommend a change in title. There is something called Cyclic Homology, and What you mean is (Co)Homology of Cyclic groups.

Aug 19, 2010 at 15:50 comment added Mariano Suárez-Álvarez No one really computes cohomology using the bar resolution... It is nice to know that one has it available to prove theorems and such, but it is far too big to be of any practical use. I don't think one can «distill» in any sensible sense (that is, without knowing the answer beforehand) the periodic resolution from the bar resolution in the case of cyclic groups. If I recall correctly, the periodic one can be obtained as the Gruenberg resolution for the obvious presentation of cyclic groups (see, e.g., Hilton-Stammbach's book)
