Literature searches

The library staff offer a comprehensive literature search service to support you in your practice/job role and with research. Search questions may be clinical or non-clinical. So, if you are struggling to find the information you want or don’t have time to run your own literature search you can ask a librarian to do it for you. Our staff have knowledge and expertise in searching healthcare-specific resources. If you would like a professional librarian to undertake a literature search on your behalf please complete the appropriate form:
