Literature Review Support

Please share as much information as you can. Having this information will assist the NMCSD Librarians with preparing for your consultation. 

NMCSD Librarians are prepared to collaborate with researchers in conducting literature searches for a systematic review. Librarians can assist in many ways, including but not limited to: conducting a literature search, providing details of the search strategies used, selecting databases to search, and discussing the PRISMA statement. Visit our Systematic Reviews: A How-To Guide for tools and information on how to conduct a systematic review. 

After emailing us the consultation request form, a Librarian will contact you within a few days to schedule a meeting.
