Literature Search

For Faculty:

By request, librarians can perform literature searches for UMMC faculty.  A literature search finds published journal articles on a specific topic by searching Rowland Medical Library databases. Search results will be emailed, and a librarian will contact you if more details are required. 

For Literature Search assistance - users should complete the Literature Search Request Form. 

For Students:

Your liaison librarian can help students refine their search strategy.  This means your librarian can help with database selection and brainstorming to identify relevant terms and keywords. Librarians do not write search strategies or perform literature searches for students. 

Students, please contact your liaison librarians for assistance.
