Allied Health Resources

A brief guide to finding and using research and other tools for assignments and projects in Allied Health.

Embedded Librarian Program

The Greenblatt Library Embedded Librarian Program is designed to foster communication between the University Libraries and its constituents across the Health Sciences campus. Under this program, each academic unit is paired with a librarian who serves as a personal resource for all library services.  

The primary objectives of the program are to foster collegiality through consistent communication, provide leadership in collection development, promote excellence in reference and education services, and assess library programs to ensure support of curricular and research needs of your college.

Specific tasks include:

  • Inform faculty of new and existing research tools, methods, resources, and services.
  • Collaborate with faculty to encourage the inclusion of the library as an essential component in teaching and learning.
  • Serve as first contact for research queries from faculty and students in assigned areas, including requests for individual consultations.
  • Create and maintain relevant library research guides to support the curriculum.
  • Collaborate with faculty to determine resources to be added to or weeded from the collection that support the teaching, learning, and research needs of students and faculty. 

Examples of Embedded Librarian inclusion in courses:

  • Semester-Long Librarian
    • Embedded in a D2L Course 
  • Guest Lecture Librarian
  • Required Consultation
  • Specific Assignment

Faculty members wishing to schedule library instruction classes should fill out this form with as much detail as possible. 

Literature Search Services

Upon request, the Allied Health Sciences Librarian will provide literature searches using one or more databases on your topic. The librarian will search the literature for citations from a variety of resources and provide you with a bibliography. 

Why should I use this service?

As a time saving measure, your project can benefit from having a librarian-mediated literature search of multiple relevant databases. 

What information should I provide?

To aid the librarian in searching on your topic, please provide as much information as possible. Population, timeframe, age, gender, or intended use of the information can aid the librarian in finding relevant information on your topic. 

How do I use this service? 

Contact your Allied Health Science Librarian.

Journal Citation Reports

  • Look here to find the impact factor for a specific journal 
  • The link takes you to Web of Science. Look at the link to Journal Citations Reports at the very top of the screen in white text.
