Library FAQs

Librarian mediated literature searching is available to St. Luke's employees and members of our Medical Staffs. Students are asked to complete their own literature searches as part of their learning experience.

We use proven techniques to develop search strategies, deciding which databases, trusted websites and other evidence-based materials to consult, and which search terms to use. A result list of relevant citations with abstracts will be emailed to you. If any of the items are of interest, you can reply with a request for the desired full-text articles. Depending on the depth of your investigation, this may be an iterative process with the librarian.
