Literature Searching

The library offers a literature searching service for work related topics, provided by expert medical librarians.

This service provides general literature searches for a selection of references on a topic of interest or to update a practice standard/guideline.

The service also provides complex literature searches to support primary research and literature reviews (systematic, scoping, etc.)

Requests for information to support patient care will take priority over all other requests.

Overview of service

Submit a request for a literature search via the link below (please use a separate request form for each topic that you would like searched)

A librarian will undertake the search on your behalf, and contact you if they have any questions

You will be emailed a list of references (not the articles themselves) as a Word document and an EndNote Library.

Literature search requests for external study

Requests for support for external study purposes must have EMHS / SMHS relevance and support will be more limited. 

Consider using your University Library's services and resources.  If the course requires you to conduct searches yourself, seek training from your university or use their training guides.
