Upon request, the Nursing Information 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 all aid the librarian in finding relevant information on your topic.
How do I use this service?
