The desk offers a drop-in service for queries about finding information, accessing resources and for guidance on referencing. Please note that we can only give
examples of how to reference; we cannot check your work. For literature searching and learning how to use the databases, please see our
training pages or contact your
liaison librarian.
Liaison librarians can work with you to navigate academic healthcare information, develop and define your research topics, create optimal literature search strategies and manage your references.
Contact your liaison librarian to make an appointment.
